IHM-47-ODG - 12oz Whipcord Tanker Jacket - Olive Drab Green

I guess the main difference to what someone might call a bomber is that a tanker has the collar that zips all the way up?
I like that because it makes the piece more versatile since it might provide a little more wind protection. However since it is a lightweight jacket I wonder how thin the ribbed collar is.
The pockets look great. Reminds me of Freenote Mariner jackets.
Have to wait and see. Could be quite versatile if you have room to layer and if its not too short. -
@Northman Yes, I like the collar too, especially in the fall when it's cool in the morning. You can zip it up to protect your neck. Tanker and bomber jackets are simply cool, especially since they're short, allowing you to show off your jeans. A T-shirt or sweatshirt underneath and you look perfect.

Looking forward to the measurements dropping on these. I remember Alex mentioning in the FW25 drop video that they would be looking into increasing the length a little bit.
I mean ofc its meant to be a short jacket but it would be awesome as long as it's not uber short. -

@Northman I learned the hard way the body length matters more than just aesthetically for me. Not an expensive lesson thanks to eBay. I got the duck flight jacket(fw24) there in XXL. I really had to strain in order to get my hands in the hand warmer pockets. It was physically uncomfortable
. I've set a very inflexible body length limit of 27" minimum for anything with hand warmer pockets

@Northman I too am hopeful after browsing over to IHJ. Thanks for the idea. May have to size up one to get the length but that's not a deal breaker for cold weather piece.

@Tago-Mago Thanks for clarifying. I suspected something like that. Very important information!
-
@Tago-Mago more of a ballpark figure if anything for me. Not Iron clad. Thanks for the info though
-
@ShopatIronHeart, I may be asking too early, but are you guys taking your (usual) light outerwear sizes in this? Or going down one? Thank you!
-
@Buckeye Hi! The general consensus from trying this on, is that we are taking our usual "IHM" sizing, in that I typically take one size down from my usual UHF/Type III sizing.
Due to the cuffing/ribbing on the opening and wrists, you may be able to take your usual jacket sizing dependant on how you intend to layer.

@Bailey: Hello
since you're around... : Is the collar close and tight to the neck when the jacket is fully zipped up ?
And what did you thought about the sleeve length ? Following my measures I should take a "S", but the sleeves would be too short then I think
-
@Slash Hi, I am covering emails/messages over the weekend. I can report the sleeve length was absolutely fine and not too short or long in my experience, however I can appreciate we are all built differently
I will grab a photo of the zip closed at the neck for reference once we are back in the office on Monday! -
@Bailey Ah man the picture would be great, thx a lot
Have a nice WE still -
Would also appreciate pics. I might have the fit nailed down but still met with the dilemma whether to go Navy or Green.

Can someone confirm that the sleeve measurement is to the end of the knitted cuff?
