IHJ-120-BLK - 12oz Wabash Chore Jacket - Black

[DeeDee85]

@Alex thanks for getting back to me! Are the newer versions with the brass snaps going into the outlet at any point in the future? I noticed the older version has. Just want to make sure before I spend the cash

[Ross]

@DeeDee85 I've got no plans on it for time being

[DeeDee85]

@Ross ok thanks! Feel a bit better about spending it now then

Hi, does anyone have any info on whether the hem rolls up on these after wearing, similar to the shirts? …

There is a different hem construction as you can see in the comparison between the J-120 and an IHS.

This is the Tour Jacket after round about two months. Doesn’t look like rolling so far, but time will tell.

@Aetas Thank you very much.. the tour jacket is looking fantastic too isn’t it!

[Aetas]

@DeeDee85
Definitely! I’m tempted to get my hands on soon …

[DeeDee85]

@Aetas are you leaning towards the indigo or the black? I’d go for the older version in the sale but I think the brass snaps take it up a notch on the new version

[Aetas]

Sorry @DeeDee85 , haven’t seen your question.
Went with indigo, but as this Chore Coats are highly versatile, BLK was definitely an option. Faded black Wabash is very unique too.

[DeeDee85]

Thank you for the reply, I’m still torn.. whichever one I don’t end up getting, I will likely get in a western shirt when they re-stock so have a chance to experience both

Just got this in the post and will be entering it into the Redline Rally this year. Initial impressions is that I like it for what it is ~ a chore coat. It’s a nice weight material and has room for layering with the shoulders and chest fitting good. The arms are a bit long but I think it will be alright with time and wear. I’ll try and post my monthly submission photos here to show (or lack of) its evolution. Rumour has it that these are hard to fade?

@Alex (apologies if this has been asked) : is there any chance of a re-run of these? I’m obsessed now having experienced the indigo in the flesh.

[Alex]

We're not rushing to rerun these, but I doubt they will be perma-extinct

Snagged the last XXL I think - and I love it!
It’s exactly how I imagined (and wanted) it to fit. In my mind I wanted it to fit like my Barbour Border jacket.

Thanks @Denman-John and @DeeDee85 for your thoughts/advise re sizing. Glad I stuck with my usual size - I’m wearing 3 layers underneath this!

And the obligatory Mancunian styled…

Another superbly versatile piece from the crew!

@long_john86 looks spot on mate

[DeeDee85]

@long_john86 looks awesome mate, congratulations!

[Denman John]

@long_john86 I’m glad that it worked out for you. It’s a great versatile jacket/overcoat that is tough as all get out and you rock it well! Enjoy it in good health.

@Denman-John Cheers. Looking forward to seeing how yours fades/ages, I think you’ll be putting yours through its paces much more than me!
