    @ironmind Thank you for the message man, and so pleased you managed to pick up your grail jacket!

    From the pictures I would say it does fit relatively well and you could even perhaps get away with sizing down one which will in turn result in a slightly shorter sleeve length. Whilst the sleeves may feel a little long, you will likely see a little 'riding up' of this length, when any creases are set in at the crook of the arm through wear.

    I would always err away from any potential tailoring at least until it has been loved/worn in and if you are still not overly happy with the sleeve length I would recommend Denim Doctor based in Manchester, UK. But I would say for the most part the fit is great and I hope you are happy with the jacket overall man!

    I hope this helps.

      I'm on the could size down side of the fence. Though I obviously don't know how you intend to wear the jacket, or over what.

      The shoulder seams are a tad off your shoulder, so sizing down would pull them up a bit and the arms in the smaller size would be shorter, so you would get a double dose of help.

      It also looks quite full and long to me, both of which may be improved by sizing down.

      If you don't agree with me (and I am an avowed, smaller-is-better in Type I's, II's, III's and 101 wearer), then wear with the cuffs turned back for a while and see ho much the elbow honeycombs lift the cuffs....

        Thanks for the input.

        Realistically I would be wearing with a t shirt 90% of the time. I'm going to try on again but think you might be right on the sizing. Its like new and quite stiff, so I think that might make it feel smaller than it actually is.

        Now, just the small issue if finding a size 40!

          @ironmind you could probably size down, although at the same time it does objectively fit you and looks good. Sizing down would certainly ameliorate your concerns with sleeve length a little.

          However it is worth noting that sleeves in IH jackets (and often shirts), are often quite long by design. I’ve always embraced it. To my eyes it doesn’t look off on you at all.

            If it was me I'd size down.

              If you are happy with the rest of the fit, you could always unbotton the sleeves and roll them up. That's what I do with my 101J, which is probably a size bigger than I need. I wear it in the winter over heavier layers, so it works out for my use.

              Looks like denim truly is the fabric of our salvation.

                    I own a lovely pair of IH-720-OLV 11oz cotton whipcord trousers.

                    Unfortunately I am struggling with the thigh area being a bit on the tight side.

                    Is there be an alternative pair of trousers in a different cut that would be more suitable for me (i.e. a bit more of a generous thigh area) that i can replace these with?

                    Cheers in advance for any thoughts…

                      Are videos of how UHFs are being made?

                        When using a belt, do you put the belt under or over the leather patch?

                            @Denman-John always over, because sometimes the patch is sewed on all the way round

                              If it can go under, it goes under. If not, well, you get the idea.

                                        Thank you gents. Putting a pair of 634S into rotation and figuring out how to wear them with a belt. All my IH jeans/pants are workwear and don’t have a leather patch (except my 805s, but I don’t wear a belt with them). Thanks again!
