        Certain repro jackets, at a similar price point, claim double-faced, 100% alpaca, to include the sleeves - so I supposed the wool was for toughness/strength/durability! But I'm just a design geek, and certainly no expert…

          We're not a repro company.  Haraki updates designs to work better for todays requirements.  Alpaca in the sleeves is a nightmare from a "binding" point of view…...

            Also the silky texture of the quilt lining in the sleeves creates less friction and helps the arms of my shirts/sweaters/hoodies/etc stay in place when I am sliding my arms through.  This for me is a functional plus, especially during winter months when I am layered up.

            You won’t be satisfied until you wear Iron Heart.

              There were a few comments from back in the day about the heavy fleece lined sleeves on the IHJ-06.
              People said how sweaty the inside of their elbows got, especially of wearing a heavy shirt with it.  The quilted lining not only feels great, it helps keep mobility a priority and helps to fight the sweaty elbow syndrome while keeping your core (torso) warm. Smart  adjustment to the classic pattern if you ask me.

                If memory serves, the ihj-06 had a "coating" on the inside of the cordura. I guess this made it more wind and water resistant, but it also keeps all the sweat in too. I have to wash it inside out (which ain't easy) often. I don't think the fleece had as much to do with the sweating as the (silicone??) coating.

                                    How do you go about sizing those? E.g., if your favorite shirt has a p2p of X and a shoulder of Y, how do you translate that in the relevant size for this jacet?

                                      I go large for most IH shirts and this Medium jacket fits just right–they are sized generously and Id be swimming in a Large.  I tend to be between Giles and Sam in sizing.  Hope that helps @JDelage

                                        @JDelage I am a XXL in IH shirts and I went for a XXL in this jacket. As I am tall, the XXL gives me the sleeve/body length I need. For me it is definitely not a fitted look but it doesn't look baggy either. I can wear heavy shirts and sweaters under for the winter and still have a good range of motion, which is why I bought this one.

                                        You won’t be satisfied until you wear Iron Heart.

                                          I think the rule of thumb is, go for your UHF size if you want to layer, go one down from UHF for a more fitted look over a single shirt/tee etc.

                                          I use mine as my winter coat in northern Norway so wear it over tee+UHF or henley+vest combos'. It's an XL which is also my IH shirt size. It doesn't look baggy, but would do over just a tee.

                                            Here are some photos with me in my Large UHF and my Medium N-1 (5'11" and 165lbs for reference)

                                            And here is a less than flattering shot, showing you the thickness with the UHF
