Monday looks so rugged in this jacket! Last two pictures had a nice 'bokeh' too

Superblackman - finally in uniform.

Monday, what size did you end up with on this?

[madmonday]

it reads a 44 but it is a 46 per size chart.

[barun]

so is that the XXL on the site?

[madmonday]

i'm sorry i'm not really sure.  i just know it says 44 on the tag inside, but it has to be a bit bigger from it's fit so i say with the way the back is constructed it gives you a bit more space & ends up being a 46.

***you might have to send a pm to the experts on this one

I know from the 526J that a 44 is XXL, 42 is XL etc…

gracias

Yep, Kat is correct

So, after having worn my IH-9526J extensively through four seasons of Norwegian costal weather, I just went ahead and ordered one of these bad boys. Really looking forward to receiving it.

Strange how clothes can be this exciting.

Hey everyone, first post.

I just went ahead and ordered an XL.  I've been drooling over this jacket before I even got my first pair of IH jeans.  Having now lived in the jeans (IH634s) for the last four months, I'm even more excited about the jacket knowing how well these jeans are made.

I am slightly concerned about the sleeve length.  I'm 42" in the chest, but only 5'10".  Hopefully the sleeves won't be ridiculous.  I already asked G about the fit, and PM'd some of you, I guess I'll see when it arrives.

Congrats Paul, you are going to love it! Just returned your PM. Sorry for the delay.

You'll have to learn to live with it being very stubborn, and the sleeves being (too) long…

[Paul9221]

Just saw the PM.  Thanks Lando!

I'm definitely prepared for the stubborn portion

Finally got to try this jacket on (arrived on Thursday).

I don't have anything to add to the great things people wrote about the construction and look and feel.  Though I will say that for a rough & tough jacket, I'm pretty amazed with how buttery smooth the zippers glide over their tracks

I'm 5'10, 42-43" in the chest, so I ordered the XL.  I was surprised to find that the sleeves weren't as terribly long as I had expected.  Even so, I'm doing DrPat's cuff-the-sleeves trick.

I think I sized right.  It's a tad tight in the chest when I zip it up all of the way, if I stick my chest out, but I plan on wearing it unzipped most if not all of the time.

Anyhow, here are some fit pics.  Please ignore the ugly mug

That looks pretty much perfect!.. Can't seem to spot the ugly mug in the pics though… All I see is a mix of a fun and funny lumberjack and a tougharse magician...

[Paul9221]

LOL, thanks Seul

At the moment I'm trying on the double-knee cotton ducks that arrived with the jacket…these will DEFINITELY need hemming
