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

[scotty]

@Darth Iron looking good man! Just love the brown

Finally got a chance to try on the black one at SELA yesterday - they only had an XL in-store but validated I need to stick to my usual XXL.

Downside is that I walked out wanting khaki. Franklin & Poe is sold out of XXLs (unless you have any squirreled away somewhere @andrewfnp !)

Called Canoe Club and their shipment literally just arrived today. Alas they didn't order anything larger than an XL so looks like I'm out of luck…

Sorry, we brought in only one XXL and was the first to go!

@Jett129:

Had to go outside to get a decent picture of this Bad Boy.

May I ask what size that is @Jett129?  I like the fit, which is not as tight as others where Type III jackets, but it’s how I prefer to where them as well.

[Jett129]

I went with a XXXL,so that I can wear a sweatshirt underneath if I want to,and so that I can also button it if desired. The sleeves are a little long ,but now that I’ve gotten some wear into it they’ve come up a little with the formation of arm creases. Just for reference I’m 5,8 and 175lbs,and need at least 23 inches in the ptp measurement. Hope this helps.

[GBurke]

@Jett129 yes, that helps a lot.  I am going with the XXXL as well.  I tend to like a looser fit than how Trucker Type III jackets are normally worn.  It looks great!  Thank you,Greg

[Jett129]

My pleasure,enjoy it. One other thing,I haven’t washed it yet,but won’t have to worry about shrinkage when I do.

We we went from a blizzard with over a foot of snow 2-3 weeks ago right into summer here. I think i've worn my 69 about 3 times before having to putting it back in the closet for another 4 months

The temps have been summer-like for the past 2 weeks but this week it's supposed to rain and drop back down into the 50s/60s. Think i'll be able to wear a few IH tops one last time before hanging them up for the summer

Got my new IHJ-69 on Tuesday.  Temps dipped down to 15 Celsius so perfect jacket weather today.  This is a size XXXL and I’m 1,80m and 90 kg (5’ 11”  and 200 lbs). Great fit in shoulders and chest. A bit long in the arms but I can live with it.  :).

I think cuff flipping on type III’s is great. I have to on all mine. T-Rex arms [emoji1]

:D. I personally like it too @neph93. Thank you.

I think you nailed it @GBurke, fit looks great.

The black looks great.  If I didn't have so many jackets I'd jump on it.  Maybe later…

Is that the black version?  ???  That looks so convincingly blue on my screen.  Or is my mind playing tricks on me due to you're wearing a blue shirt and jeans?

it's the black. It looks blue to my eyes as well and i've read comments on IG that also suggest it has a blue-ish hue.
