@indigo_nico thanks man! The 86 has become my favorite jacket.

Hi, everyone. I am new here and looking for some fit feedback. I do want a slimmer fit, but I don't know if the current size (small) is overly slim. I'm thinking of getting a medium just to be sure, but I don't want it to suddenly become too long.

@lossforwords the sleeves on your jacket would be too short for my liking. if you factor in that there will be creases in the elbow that will further shorten the length of the sleeve, that may be a decisive factor. you may gain a little in the chest, but seeing how trimmed the jacket fits now, that may be manageable.
you could also always get in touch with the crew, and ask them if they can find you a jacket with dimensions that may suit you better in a specifc area.

@lossforwords If I’m just looking at the pictures I think that you could benefit from a medium, looking specifically at your shoulders. The length differens between a S and M according to the size chart is just 1cm/0,39inch. And especially if you want any layering options, that’s how I use mine.

Then again, if you would just rock it with a tshirt and mostly open the Small should be fine.

Loving this jacket and wearing it all the time. I do have a friendly design/production question I’m guessing is for @ShopatIronHeart …

What’s behind the decision to go with the white twill pockets? Why not the same black denim as the jacket itself? (This is what’s done on my other IHJ 9526PJ for example).

Not saying I dislike it or not (and I dig the crocking) - just curious what went into the decision.

Thanks!

@dwils Ill try and do some digging and let you know, but it might be its just what Haraki-San preferred for this model so it didn't feel so bulky.

[dwils]

@JoshC much appreciated! And that would make sense - double denim there could be bulky. Thanks for looking into it!

[AdamC]

@dwils Yeah I think what Josh has said is correct, would have been a decision from H san during production and bulk, or lack of, would seem right

I'm really glad I chose this jacket... I'm already looking forward to the first fades

@Mindfulbiscuit Definitely like the large better. How do you find the comfort between the two? I am trying to decide between med and large (usually wear 38R slim suit) and I hate anything that does not feel fitted.
