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

[Appfaff]

@ionlybuy18ozplus:

is it just my monitor or the black one appears a bit blue-ish ?

The Black cord collar on my IHJ-17 is also quite blueish - it’s a brilliant shade that I’m glad carries over to these jackets - will look splendid after some wear and washes

Pic for reference:

FWIW, I had my eye on the chocolate since these were announced - now I’m toying with black vs Khaki…. knowing that the Black looks splendid with SB and I’m guessing SBG as well, it may actually be the most versatile in the bunch [emoji6]

Khaki is my favorite out of the three.  I would/will size up to XXL as well.

Hopefully I’ll be singing Back in Black tomorrow.

I own the old 6526J in black, and can confirm that it is super versatile.  Goes with everything.

No doubt about that, I'm just not in need of another black jacket.

How lightweight is this jacket?

Any guesses re: shrinkage?

One-washed, so little or none…

I guess I should rephrase my question: how heavy is the jacket? I know nothing about cord weight/construction.

The first iteration was termed 'heavyweight' I assume these are lighter weight than those?

This would be useful information for people on the fence for sizing. @giles do you recall what the old one was like and how it compares to the new version?

These are lighter.  The OG was a double weave corduroy (possibly never made before). These aren't, they are a single weave, and nowhere near as heavy and windproof as the first iteration.

But, would I love to own one, two or three?  Fuck yeah…..

Similar in weight to my IHSH-161?(Indigo corduroy)

[Giles]

Heavier

[Jett129]

And that shirt’s pretty heavy. The jacket looks great on you and everyone else who modeled in the pictures.

Very helpful! Thank you.

Khaki for me, though brown is tempting!  Will these stretch with wear I wonder?

A side note: the sleeve openings came out really big?  In XXXL it's 5.5 inches… besides the Hulk, does anyone even have to unbutton the sleeve to get their hands through?

So I'm almost certain this was asked before, but how many vendors are getting these @Giles, @Alex ?  I know SE is getting the black one but who else is getting them?
