IH-6526J-SP - Fleece Lined Double Weave Cord Modified Type III

[sabergirl]

Dude, fingers and toes and all the things crossed! I know these came in comically undersized, and these days I wear a 38 or 40 in type IIIs, so it may be a stretch

You bought the lotto ticket, now it’s time to dream the numbers hit

[sabergirl]

Well, I think it works well enough

Still on the forever lookout for a 42 or even 44. Or maybe I’ll get the new khaki one? @Alex is the sample made from double-weave cord, or a different one?

[tody]

I'd say that is looking good enough for now.
The sleeves are a little on the short side, obviously - you should consider wearing something tonal underneath
Are the sleeves lined, too?

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

Heck yeah!

[sabergirl]

@tody yep! Sleeves are lined with silky red quilting. I’m a little bummed about the sleeve length, but can work with it. Since there’s about 10 of these in the world, near as I can tell, this may be the only one I ever see.

Only minor disappointment is no internal breast pocket. Otherwise, I’m pretty happy

[Alex]

@sabergirl this is well before my time, @Giles may rememeber

[sabergirl]

@Alex thank you! Yes, I’m sure that this one is double weave—I was wondering about the new sample.

[Alex]

@sabergirl Ah, the khaki sample? That is just an IHJ-69, but lined

[sabergirl]

@Alex aha, I thought maybe that might be the case. Thanks, again

[sabergirl]

Best jacket ever! Wish I was smaller or it was bigger. Love how this cord had faded all over to brown.

[Mizmazzle]

@sabergirl wowza! Ann, is this the same extra heavy cord as the other unlined type 3 double weave? I forget the model number right now?

[Mizmazzle]

Ah. Never mind. Just saw your previous comment that you’re sure this one is double weave too.

[sabergirl]

This was/is my ultimate grail piece. I would buy again in a couple sizes up in a heartbeat. Zero hesitation.
