      I really wish the P2P and waist wasn't so slim in this. I love the fabric (I've got he N1 and more recent cargos in this material), and I'd love it in a jacket, but I can't see a way for it to fit.

      If I go with my standard XXL size, I won't get it fastened, where if I go up a size, the arms are far too long and the shoulder is too wide.

        Then it would not work for other body types. A fortuitous result of our garments being of varying size, is that we can make more people happy, than if everything fit a single body type.

        We had a intern who lost sleep (and probably pulled his hair out too) because our jeans were not exactly the same measurements in a given tag size. My exhortation that we should celebrate the fact that because the measurements differ we can make more people happy, fell on deaf ears....

          @Giles Not IHUK material, clearly.

              He was a big F1 fan and my observation that even in the incredibly high-tech world of Formula 1, the wheels on the cars still need post production balancing, did not help either. In fact, I think I burst another bubble...

                @Giles, I think I'll be reaching out to the crew Monday morning with a sizing request and see if y'all have something close to my needs. There is a few in stock in my target size, hopefully something works.

                    Brilliant - best of luck.....

                    To above mentioned intern, this was an extra piece of hassle he did not understand and was not very gracious about....

                        With thanks to the IH crew for answering my sizing queries, especially Alex Bailey who replied on a Sunday! I’ve had my first type 3 jacket ( well, first since the late 80’s anyway!)
                        As I had nothing comparable to measure against, was not sure between the M or L. The only other IH top I have is the IHSH 412 BLK in a M.
                        Listening to Alex’s advice I went with a L, thinking I will have room to layer and I’m so glad I did. Actually not sure if a XL would be better? (Which is really odd feeling for someone who usually chooses a ‘S’!)
                        I have to open the cuffs to get my hands in sleeves, feels comfy with just a T shirt, think it will be ok with a hoody, especially if it’s not fastened.
                        Opinions on fit would be appreciated, thanks.

                                  I totally agree with you . Went back to try it on again and it just felt so ‘right’.

                                    It looks great! I got one of these. Incredible jacket but quite small in sizing. I got an XL but I'm normally L in Iron Heart and M in most other brands.

                                      Finally started to wear this one a bit more....really cool and stylish imo

                                      Tight indeed in the chest when closed but the small P2P + length allows for this particular trim fit where the jackets opens more the more it goes down on the body.

                                      Goes also really well thus with untucked shirts that would go too much lower than the jacket (personal taste ofc), thanks to the "extra" length
