@neph93:

The fit is perfect! Great length in the arms and body and it looks good over the shoulders.

The creases drop out with wear, as you add your own. A cold soak/ wash may help, but I have never bothered. I just wear them until they are «mine».

When you do wash, low temps, low or no spin, and air dry is the way.

Congratulations.

Thank you, I won't bother to soak it so.

@Wlemon:

With that fabric, if yo're not careful, you may make more creases when washing. If you follow the guidelines, you should be fine, though. I'd just wear it as @neph93 said.

Thanks. I can't wait to wear it!

Oh wow… very clean. All new?

[J-IV]

@neph93 Bottoms are new - about a month. The jacket on the other hand was from the initial run.

[neph93]

They look stunning together.

Thanks dude! Hard to mess up the Duck and Denim combo.
Will try to post better flicks of the jacket later today

About 7 years of on and off wear, I think…

Thoughts on the fit of my jacket? I like wearing this style more fitted/as a 'shirt'. I don't anticipate wearing much under it, just a t-shirt is fine with me and my climate… I see a lot of folks here layering with a button-up, but I think that my jacket is a little too fitted for layering. My fit seems to match the way that IH styles their Type III's on their site. I'm probably overthinking this, but any feedback? It's a 40, I'll likely pick up a 42 of another color way at some point, but I found the 42's sleeves to be a little longer than I like/am used to on a Type III.

^ crackin' jacket and a crakin' fit @Babytooth

[Babytooth]

Thanks @den1mhead !

[neph93]

@Babytooth  that looks exactly like it should imho. Well done.

[Paul9221]

I agree, looks good!

If you're in a warm climate, you probably won't need to layer. I have a couple of jackets for layering but most of mine are for use over a t-shirt.

Thank you for the feedback @neph93 @Paul9221 !

@Babytooth How's the chest feel? Any room for a UHF? I usually test this out by opening my arms out like I'm giving out a hug and see how much give it has.
Personally, I usually only wear mine with a tee. Length looks great and the arms will have a gradual though minimal shortening as you wear it.

@J-IV I just tried it with my ultra heavy flannel underneath and was surprised at how comfortable it was. The length of the flannel past the jacket is a little irritating but I don't know how other people feel about that, seems pretty common with Type III jackets for the length of a shirt to be visible past the hem. Hugging myself and spreading my arms is not uncomfortable at all. Thanks for the tip!
