      @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.....

              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’.
                        Thanks ☺️

                          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

                              I’m toying with the idea of waxing or oiling my jacket. Has anyone tried something like that? I wouldn’t mind if it turned a bit darker in color, and waxing it would make it more suitable for bad weather. Is it a viable idea, or will it just end up ruining the jacket?

                                  Nice, thank you! I hadn't found that. Very interesting!
                                  The N1's are lined though, I'm a bit worried the wax would get all messy on the inside of the jacket since this one is unlined. Does anyone know if the wax would penetrate through, potentially rubbing on to other clothing?
