@MassiveThighs thank you guys, indeed I tend to overthink slightly at times. Wabi sabi as they say
-
Wife was cold tonight and I had the lefty in the back seat. She put it on and was laughing. I asked why and she said, this weighs more than any jacket should ever weigh
. She was warm though! -

@grapefruit given that the latest restock was roughly 4 weeks ago it may be a while. Have you checked other retailers? I would also sign up for the restock notification:

So guys, I need a quick fit check. I have the indigo lefty in xxl .. and after the usual shrink it fits perfectly. The OD size table had all dimensions for xxxl match my xxl indigo, and a few mm more for p2p (very welcome). I had the team check p2p, but not all other dimensions. The xxxl I received now is a full 2cm shorter than the table indicates, and all other dimensions also slightly smaller. As you can see (sorry for the dirty mirror) it fits with t shirt only (which is ok) but I am worried about length and in particular sleeve length (will get creases and shorten a bit).
-
Having gone through a similar decision, ultimately this will come down to your preferences and use cases. Here are the questions that helped me make a decision.
Is your intent to wear it only over a tee shirt?
Do you notice any tight areas like in the arm holes, or anywhere else, that would bother you?
To me, it looks good on you with that shirt beneath but it also looks snug. Body length looks good to me. The sleeves will come up with creases but would land in a good place imo, but I don't mind shorter type 3 sleeves to show more wrist or shirt cuff. Again, it all depends how you feel in it. A size up would probably still look good.
-
@Tobi I think it looks really good, I think the length is spot on too.
-
@pechelman thanks..good points. I would like to have the option to wear it over a flannel or hoodie.. which works just about but open. Would wear it mainly open. Main issue is that I am absolutely sensitive to short sleeves, but then you have a point that this might be OK with a type3...
IH has no xxxxl in stock.. so sizing up not really an option. -
@Tago-Mago yeah.. I think actually with 4xl all would be more to my preferences.. except the shoulders would get too large...
-
@Tobi I'm with you on the sleeve length here. body length is fine, but the sleeves will shorten as the creases will definitely settle.
the one i got used from a previous run has the sleeve length borderline short, with the sleeves of a flannel partially sticking out underneath.
it's the nature of the beast, i'd say - the od process shrinks the jacket, but much more in length than in width. -
Thank you all. I'm afraid this will be the first IH item ever I return (not even sure how to do this, since the outer plastic bag from UPS has not survived the unpacking). The jacket is a beauty, but I will not wear it enough if the fit is not 100% for me.
