        Lovely denim on denim there. You’ve achieved a very tasty fit on that jacket @iamlebing

                Jupp, she’s a keeper (the jacket, but also your s.o.). It couldn’t get much better than that. Great length and still wide enough in the body.

                  Agreed. That jacket couldn’t fit you any better.

                      @Oaktavia I am sorry to be the one to tell you that everyone is lying to you about the fit of the 72 and it would fit me infinitely better. Just sayin.  😶

                      Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                      Well, I have others.

                        @neph93 it is a bit snug when buttoned. Do you predict it will give in the torso area if I wear it around buttoned for awhile? I could use some stretch in some areas.

                          Erm… difficult to say. Has it been soaked or washed? Has it been used before?

                          In principle most cotton/twill fabric will at least relax and give a bit under pressure. Mitigating factors will be the tightness of the weave, and the amount of constructional stitching, both of which will retard stretch to a degree.

                          My educated guess is that it should relax a little, but probably not much.

                            The previous owner stated he washed it twice.

                              I’d guess that the fabric has lost some torque then, so you may find it will relax easier.

                                Are the buttons made of iron? And the sleeve rivets cooper?

                                  I have been wearing this jacket for nearly two weeks now. It arrived with nearly no fading at all, and zero honeycombs creases visible (jacket is secondhand). I love the way the it has broken in and the creases are sharp and set. I plan to wear this as often as possible until the summer, the fade photos on here are insanely amazing. This is my second 18oz jacket by IH, my first one being the 101J.

                                  What I love most about this jacket is the color. It is so rich and dark blue, with electrics starting to show. I also dig the pocket size and shape. So happy I found this jacket here on the forum.

                                    Is there any chance we will see this or another Type II again, maybe sooner than ever?  This is one cool bit.
