IH-531 - Wabash Chore Jacket

[mclaincausey]

Love this… Chest seems really really small though.

^I know, right?  I was all about this until I saw the chest measurements.  I have a feeling that the p2p is deceptive.  If G is wearing an XL, with a 22 inch chest, the p2p is still smaller than a normal L IH top; but he describes it as roomy.

Do you mind shedding a little light on this, G?

[Giles]

No words of wisdom I am afraid….But here is me in a Large:

And in an XL:

Extra Large:

Imho the XL looks better!

Enjoy ya addiction!

[seanocono]

Great.  Thanks for the pics, G.  I think they both look great, and are worth rolling the dice for.

[mclaincausey]

Yes. I think a chore coat should have some room, the XL looks brilliant on you G.

[Giles]

Yeah, I was one the fence, but for what I want it for, I decided to upsize…...

[ohighyo]

You get these in for me G??

[Scottystyles]

I sized up to XXL because of the P2P. Fits great! Normal XL would have squished my boobies a little ;).

@scottstyles - so what size shirt do you wear normally?

[seanocono]

So, as I suspected, the measurements are a little misleading with this model. I don't know how to explain it, but my XXL measures 22.5 p2p – as stated on the site -- and fits like a XXL.

If this were a typical shirt, no way this would have fit me. This fits me just fine, though.

I am a huge fan of the IH Wabash, so no surprises there, but this jacket is just fantastic.

I love the look, and the buttons are perfect. This is going to get a TON of wear in my mild climate.

Highly recommend that you ignore the measurements (despite their accuracy) and trust that Haraki-san knows what he is doing.

[mclaincausey]

Amazing eh?  That chest really threw me. Love the jacket, very happy it worked out.

[derivative666]

Such a nice looking jacket

[Giles]

Just seen that Haraki has these available in brown, black, beige and white duck in most sizes.  Drop me a PM if you are interested….USD400 - same sizing as IH-531

XL shirt in IH Jesselirola. usually a 22.5 - 23" P2P. If your looking for a more fitted look go same size I think. If you like it with a little more room to bust a move I'd say size up.

Hey Seanocono, are you a XXL in IH shirts? Did you go same size or size up?

[seanocono]

Yes, I'm normally XXL in shirts. I also own several XXXLs in the smaller-fitting shirts.

BAM!

Bam inbloodydeed….
