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

[Cole]

Not the tanker jacket I was waiting for, but worth a thought.

Did any of the crew take photos wearing the ODG? I appreciate the pics in the navy thread they help a lot. I feel a bit silly with this many photo requests but man it is for some reason really difficult to choose which color to go for.
And no I can't just get both haha.
Photos above of Rudy wearing it are great but the crew pics really help since they kind of show the jackets in natural light.

[Giles]

What's not natural about the light in Rudy's photos?

[Northman]

@Giles Just finding reasons to see pics of the handsome crew members wearing tanker jackets. But fair enough it's so close to the drop now I think I made my choice

[Cole]

@Giles In the full body shot where he is walking it looks a bit like someone overdid the background in lightroom. The edge of the head and hairline is so sharp. Colors of him and the jacked are perfectly fine tough.

Ordered L and XL at Iron Heart germany. I'm a little unsure about the size.

[Cole]

As I said above I ordered both sizes L and XL because I was a bit unsure about the sizeing. I like the snug fit of the size L, but it is a bit tight in the shoulders and even if I lose weight in the future, my shoulder and chest size is most likely to stay the same or get bigger with training.

The XL wears a lot more comfortable in the shoulders, but my fear is, that it looks a wee bit to big on me. My wife likes it better, though.

What do you guys think? Sorry for the photo dump, but I guess a few pictures of a new produkt on an aging costumer won't hurt.

First This ist size L.

[Cole]

And this ist the size XL:

[goosehd]

My preference is for Large. Both look good though…

[Northman]

I'd go with the comfy one. Being whipcord and all if it gets too tight will then limit how often you wear it.
Just my two cents.

[Tobi]

XL all the way!

[IrishHeart]

Both look good but XL will give far more layering options without looking oversized

[Boit]

@Cole I’d have the same difficulty as you deciding. What would/wouldn’t get worn with how you like to wear this? what is your usual IH jacket sizing?

[Cole]

@Boit, my "usual" size is all over the place.

My N1 deckjackets are size L, but they are tight in the shoulders now. My A2 is size L and offers room for layering, my M65s are size L and the green one has a relaxed fit while the black one is a bit tighter around the shoulders and my 526L is size XXL.

It's the same with shirts, I got older IH shirts in size L and XL that still fit me fine, but thend to go for XXL in most UHFs nowadays.

I guess a gravitate towards the XL version of this jacket, because it is definetly more comfortable to wear and leaves me more room to move my arms.

As I got older I gained some weight and have to face the fact, that I will never slim down to the sizes I wore when I was in my late 30s or early 40s. XL is a safer bet here, even though I don't like the thought.

@Cole xl looks great on you. It's the right call

[Cole]

Well, XL it is then.
