IHJ-06 - Fleece Lined Cordura Winter Breaker

[scoobaru]

Giles,

How are the sizing on these? I'm usually an XL in most of the IH tops, but the measurements of this jacket point me to an L. I'm 5'11, 195 lbs.

[Giles]

Depends what you want to wear under it.  I am normally a XL, but actually prefer the fit of the L, but can then only wear a T and a flannel under it comfortably….G

[scoobaru]

I probably just plan on wearing a tee and a flannel under it, or a tee and a hoodie at most. So an L would be a safe bet? I'd like to see some better fit pics other than the ones off the site.

[Giles]

Beatle has been sent some to photograph whilst I am in Japan, I am sure she will oblige.  I leave here for Japan in the morning, so I won't get around to it….G

fit pics or it never happened!

[Jpo1932]

More pics on request! Going out to dinner so this is it for now. I stuck with my size (Small) and it fits just about how I would like it to… Super stiff so probably going to have to take some time loosening up. Dunno how I want to wear it yet either. Suggestions?

Definitely a very warm jacket, still getting use to the super stiffness of it  ::) Definitely a good buy though, this is the first real jacket I think I've had in years.. I feel like younger people don't have as many jackets, well maybe that's just me : p

You could layer! Or maybe G could hook you up with an xs, do you know the sizing dimensions for it?

[Giles]

If you serious, I'll check in  Japan next week…G

[jbphoto23]

G do you know the measurements for the XS?

I don't think I'd be layering much with this..doesn't get super cold very often in Southern California. I'll know within a couple days whether I can pick one of these up.

[Giles]

I'll measure on Tuesday

[jbphoto23]

thanks! by then I will know for sure.

[jbphoto23]

I actually just measured a jacket i have…and the measurements are pretty damn close to the small in the cordura..so I think I'd probably go for a small in this. Thanks for everything though G! You're extremely helpful and accommodating , and it's much appreciated.
oh and hope you have a great time in Japan!

[Jpo1932]

I do really love this jacket.. Hopefully it gets a little more form fitting on me  So damn stubborn!

[cowsareforeating]

so question… im currently looking for an outdoors jacket for 20-40 F .... and im kind of wondering what people have to say (and with what layering, mind you)
