IHJ-147-BRN - 9oz Canvas Type III Jacket - Brown

[Chaintitch]

@DeeDee85 I figured but didn't want to doom scroll in futility.

Back on topic: the 147 looks great! I love short (hand-pocketed) jackets with long sleeves...

@Chaintitch will you be picking this one up?

[Chaintitch]

It's been on my S/S Want list, but I may be stuck between sizes on this one, on account of the wider body... The cut on the indigo/black 14oz Type III is indeed the gold standard.

Haraki knew what he was doing with this one ... Fit is amazing. XL for reference.

What are your impressions of the fabric/weight?

@labrat fit looks great. How are you liking it so far?

@ZackB @Chaintitch

Thank you, sir…I believe this is a seriously underrated piece. The fabric with the red stitching is absolutely killer—I can’t wait to see how it ages and develops character. It should fade pretty quickly, right? Just a heads-up, the color is slightly darker in person than in photos. I’d definitely recommend it if you don’t mind the slightly shorter body length.

[Chaintitch]

Those are washed and the product photos of both colors show pretty significant initial fading, so I'd bet these are fast faders. It doesn't feel too light? I don't think I've owned a cotton jacket that weighs less than 12oz.

@Chaintitch Wore the black one today - yes its light but was great in the sun today.

[labrat]

@Chaintitch Exactly, It does have a lightweight feel, which is what I was aiming for with the spring-summer season. To give you an idea, it’s similar to something like a waxed Filson cloth—cold to the touch and super high-quality, man.

I'm a great admirer of most tonal, classic IH gear, but heavily lean towards the light- and mid-weight stuff, as one can get so much more year-round wear out of it. I may need to pick this one up after all...

@Chaintitch You won’t be disappointed—enjoy
