IHJ-69 - Corduroy Modified Type III Jacket - Black and Khaki

[Paul9221]

I don't plan on layering with this jacket, just a t-shirt underneath, so I don't really need extra room, but it's such a great jacket that I almost want to hold onto both.  Due to the way the 2 sizes fit, it's almost like 2 different jackets.

The large does seem more practical because I could layer, or not, and the length makes it work with everything.

Regarding the length, the bottom of the jacket on the medium goes past my belt line but yeah, it took a bit for me to get used to the shorter type III length.

I'm going to sleep on it tonight and decide in the morning.

I did this with the OD M65, kept a L and an XL.

agree with everyone else, large looks like the better fit

I received the replacement Black jacket sent from IHUK yesterday. Thanks Alex. I also received the Brown that I purchased from Scott, from reading this forum. I'm happy with both.

You're welcome.
Look forward to seeing both in due course!

Yeah dude the large is a good fit, would probably be perfect after a warm wash! I'm wanting to do this with mine?

Has anyone giving it a wash yet?

[superfuzz]

I’ve always regretted getting a smaller size for a slimmer fit. It either shrinks in the wash or I gain weight. IMO a larger fit is the way to go!

Here are quick shots, I'll do better later.

If anyone has a brown S or M that didn't work out, let me know. Located in the US.

I did.  I've actually bought three of these lol.  Started with the XL, thought it might have been a bit big so I sent it back to IHUK.  Got a Large…then decided I would try an XL again and picked it up through SE.  Now I've got two and have decided to keep them both  ??? lol.

Good to know I'm not the only crazy one here

@ROman Both look great really loving the brown,which was my second choice. Based on your previous post I’m guessing that UPS lost your first jacket.

There's one well dressed UPS driver out there somewhere

The 527J is still my all time favorite jacket. This one though is coming in second. I wore the black one to the Grocery store and got 2 compliments on it. Here's some better shots.

I vote Large too, Paul.

Great fit, Roman!

As much as I'm in love with this and wouldnt trade it for the world, I'm feeling our Aussie friend on the hand pockets creating an undesirable line across the midsection  (which with wear will become less noticeable, I'm sure) def need the extra length but I could see losing the slash pockets in future iterations.

Paired with 633S-OD

That's a beautiful fit!

(to be clear, that was directed at ROman but Dishelveled responded before I could get in…but your fit is great too, Dish!

[motojobobo]

@Dishelveled yours is the first pic where I see that inner pocket line show up so markedly. Wonder whether it shows up less with looser fits? Can't really compare with @ROman 's pics as the bottom half of his jacket is in a shaded area. I guess I'll just hope so as mine should be a looser fit and I'd prefer it not to show so much; but I won't have them in hand for another month.

@dishelveled

Is it the pockets causing the crease or the way it was folded during transit? Haven't noticed the crease on mine
