IHM-50-NAV - 4.8oz Nylon Type L-2B Jacket - Navy

[CosmoSix5]

The opening on this jacket is much smaller than the waist when zipped up. Probably due to waist elasticity?

@Alex Thanks! I am new here, had not seen this.

I’m going to continue to tell my self that this jacket is supposed to be short and that I don’t need to try to sell my v1 fo a v2.

[JerkStore]

Is this version the same warmth as the previous fall version? Or lighter because it’s for spring/summer. It seems to be the same weight of nylon.

Looking at the descriptions I think it’s more lightweight than the 43

[AdamJ]

@JerkStore lighter, the IHM-43 more suited for FW for sure

[JerkStore]

Thanks to you both. Living in southern California, I find myself primarily looking for lighter weight stuff and forgoing anything warm. The lightweight N1 got a lot of solid wear.

[Matt]

@AdamJ I like heavier so thank you for saying this.

Great pictures, Does Rudi wear a L or M in this?

[AdamJ]

@tvaillant75 he's wearing the sample which is an L

@Ross
Hi, really looking forward to this one but have a sizing challenge. All the measurements of the size small would work perfectly for me but the shoulders that would be perfect in 17 inches.
Does you recommend to stay with small or rather order medium based on the shoulders?

Thanks,
Boris

[BorisB]

@AdamJ
Does he usually wear L IH jackets and shirts? Just trying to get a feeling if the jacket fits small or large.

Thanks,
Boris

[AdamJ]

@BorisB He generally wears Large but not always. It's worth noting that is a sample too so might not fit exactly like the production run. We'll get a couple of the crew to try one on tomorrow for reference

[Ross]

@BorisB you can always ask the crew to find you the Small with the biggest shoulders when you order. Which should solves things pretty neatly I'd think.

If not then (and I hate to say it) it's up to you - stick with the small and see how the shoulders work out, or go up to the medium and accept it's going to be a little oversized.

I would say that with this being a bomber jacket and not being as 'fitted' in its cut as other jackets eg. a type III, I wouldn't sweat so much going up a size for a little more room - but to each their own

[tvaillant75]

@AdamJ Would be lovely Adam thanks.
