IHJ-61 - Whipcord Work Jacket

[steelworker]

This or the duck CPO-adult decision-1st world problem  ::)

[manufc10]

yeah this one is a sleeper hit for me, it's slowly grown on me and now I keep looking at them thinking I want one.  At first I wasn't too excited about either color but damn these look good. I already have a brown duck trucker so I will probably pick one of these over the duck work shacket.

[manufc10]

Damn.  Thats fucking sharp.

[manufc10]

Which color is that?!

[Giles]

It comes in Khaki and navy - I can see why you're confused…..

[manufc10]

Har har har smart ass 

It looks green ok!!  I swear it looks green not khaki.

@manufc10:

you might check your screen settings, looks totally correct on mine…

[Giles]

It looks a tad olive on mine…..

[rocket]

human factor… and a tad olive is not green 

don't mind me @manufc10, it's normal that different people, can see colors slightly different and as said, the screen and the settings are kick in as well…

My wife is interested in this one…I am on the fence given the sheer number of jackets I have and items on my "want" list remaining but I figure if she gets it I can vicariously live through her.

[Giles]

What size do you think she will need Dan?

[Dstauffer]

I'm gonna measure one of her jackets this evening and I'll let you know…off the top of my head, I'm thinking a medium. Tough to say for sure without knowing how these are measuring up and how the cut is in terms of fit....

[manufc10]

A tad olive is probably a much more accurate description than when I said green but either way…a tad olive...khaki...it looks damn good.

[Dstauffer]

Just measured one of her coats although it was a "stretchier" material:

P2p 21
Sleeve 25.5
Opening 19
Shoulder 17
Length 25.5

I am thinking based on some other jacket measurements I've seen on here and the fact that she's looking for a slimmer fit she's veering toward a small or maybe even an xs (??)

The opening is where you're going to run into trouble, @Dstauffer .  My womanly hips have kept me from ever finding the perfect fit on men's jackets.  It either has to be big all over so I can zip or button all the way, or able to be open at the bottom.  I can't remember if this has a double zip.

[Dstauffer]

Thanks for the heads up @sabergirl ! Luckily the pictures show a double zipper. I think I may have to order a couple sizes and have her try them on to determine which size is best….

[Giles]

Best plan….
