IHJ-144-BLK - 12oz Kurashikizome® Twill Work Jacket - Black
-
@BalticBob Thanks for flagging this. We’ve taken another look at the collar and compared it to a few other fabrics. It’s tricky to describe accurately, as it appears more purple than our conventional navy corduroy (see screenshots below). However, we agree that "charcoal" is probably not the most accurate description, so we’ll update the specs accordingly. The photos on the site are accurate, but please note that this is one of those fabrics where the hue can look very different if viewed on a non-color-balanced screen—it looks super purple on my iPhone! Hope that's helpful

It's really cool, I like that you can't actually nail the colour down. I am a huge fan of corduroy collars. I'm going to need to get ready when you release this so I don't miss it!

Twill Work Jacket - Black:Sizing is the same as the IHJ-143-IND I presume? Looks about the same so this is probably a pointless question, but just checking.
It was based on the same pattern, but the measurement charts show you the specifics

@Alex yeah I appreciate that‘s the intention, but I know there will be variation in the sizing between Jackets in the same batch to a degree.
When I compare to the IHJ-143, this one seems smaller, but is that really the case or just a product of the samples you picked from the batch. No need to get into stats but just a general feeling, since this is the same patern, it should be the same fit taking into account the natural sizing variation within each size.
To the point: if you pick a random jacket from this batch in your size and put it on, does it feel smaller than you expected or about the same as the IHJ-143 you put on? Granted that was probably some days ago and hard to say for sure.
I am debatong whether a large is a better fit here since from the measurements, it‘s more comparable to the M in the IHJ-143.
Thanks!

When we make the sizing charts, we take a random two from every tag size of the production run of that specific product and measure them both, then take an average of the two and that is the chart that we publish, and the reason we do that is to try and counter the anomaly risk you talk about above. When we publish the model fit photos of this jacket, we will also list the size that any of our staff that are around on that day wear in the jacket to give you another comparible, and if both of those options don't help, and you have a jacket that fits you particularly well, you can reach out to us with specific dimensions to check for/against to help you find an outlier within a tag size.
As to me personally, I am in Japan at the moment, so I cannot talk personally to this jacket as I have not tried it on.

@Alex thanks for the clarification, super helpful!

Anyone else excited about this release?

Damn, the purple collar against the black is so good.

@jaysomethin this arrived today. I‘m a medium in everything from IH including the shirts. Sometimes the medium jackets are snug and I can only wear them in summer, like the IHJ-61 and the IHJ-124.
This fits very well and I easily fit a UHF or a thick sweater underneath which is exactly as I hoped. It also looks good with a Tshirt under. Really happy about this one!
One note: it‘s a short jacket, so keep that in mind. For me, it‘s as short as I could go but I do have a long torso. That being said, I reslly love the shorter cut and because it‘s boxy, it works really well.
