@Jcaz6996 Oooh I can't wait for a video update on the jacket to see the potential wear for mines.

[DeeDee85]

@Jcaz6996 fantastic! Thank you very much.. The tea core type 3 is one of the pieces I’m most on the fence about, it looks incredible but the missus seems to think I wouldn’t be able to pull it off. Hopefully your future vid will persuade her otherwise

Purchasing the IHJ-64 today. My sweet spot for chest measurement is 22.75 inches. Should I size up to XL (23.25) or size down to L (22.5). I will mostly be wearing light layers underneath as I live in a warmer climate.

Depends on if you’re going to wear it open or buttoned up and think that type III’s look best when worn on the trimmer side.

[Jcaz6996]

@Nittpics go for the Large message the IH crew if there is a Large with your requirements.
Agree with @goosehd looks better with a trim fitting .

[Nittpics]

Fit check, honest opinion. I went with XL because I was told (self edge) all jackets in stock measured 22.75 chest and my regular IH shirting size is smallest XL or largest Large with my sweet spot being 22.75. So I went XL because chest is my sweet spot. After it arrived today I am not sure if I should have sized down to a large? Large they have in stock is 22.25 (one half inch smaller)

Tough call and depends on how it feels on.

I'm some pictures it looks too big, especially the sleeves in the last pic (creasing will help pull them up a bit though) and then the waist at the hips also seems large in the second pic but looks snug in others. The shoulders to me look at the edge of being too large for how you're wearing it but would allow layering over a thick sweater. How is it in the chest and torso? The buttons do seem to be taking some tension. You might struggle sizing down if these are already snug.

To my eyes looks like you are swimming in it---size down for sure

[goosehd]

I would size down as it looks too big to me.

[Daniel San]

Definitely size down

I have never been so eager to wait for the autumn/winter to come earlier as much I am now after receiving this amazing jacket.
The smell of this leather, the supple and plush hand feel and the quality of workmanship.. simply stunning..
