IHJ-81 - 17oz Cotton Duck Work Jacket - Brown

[Chaintitch]

@AdamC @Alex & crew:

With the bi-swing shoulders, I would presume the armhole might be somewhat larger/wider/longer, and the chest set (and thusly measured) lower on the torso than on the IHJ-61/any other work jacket (which explains the posted P2P numbers). How are these fitting IRL? Would it be reasonable to size down one if I'm looking for a snugger fit?

[AdamC]

@Chain$titch I would say it would be reasonable to size down.  Sam is usually a large in jackets and is a medium in this one.  I am between an L and XL in this jacket but usually an XL.

Thanks Adam! I suspect I am also between…

The differences between the 29 and the 81 are... chest pocket bag lining, stitching thread (grey? brown? vs. olive), and lighter buttons?  Am I missing anything? @Sam @AdamC

I’m assuming Sam is only wearing a tee in the medium? Would he then go up to a large wearing a UHF?

@Chain$titch It looks like the differences you have mentioned are the only differences between the 2.

I was wearing the new IHTB-01 under the jacket. I just tried the medium on with the UHF i'm wearing today and it's snug but not uncomfortable. @gaseousclay

Another banger.

My weight/height is pretty close to you so i'm wondering if the size large feels tight on you? Would you say that the xl is too big for you? Judging from the measurements I figured @Sam would've stayed with his usual size large so i'm surprised that sizing down works

@justin:

Cart is not working, must have!!!!!

It is for me, what exactly is the issue you are seeing?

@gaseousclay

Large was perfect over 1 or two layers for me, a lot less boxy and a great fit over say a Carhartt Detroit jacket.

If I was to wear this with over a tee/shirt and then a big sweat or hoodie, I may consider an XL but for day to day wear Large was pretty perfect. If you would like a shot of me in an XL just give us a shout.

Cheers!

Thanks, Graham [emoji106] The chest measurements throw me off. I’m used to wearing UHF’s with a 22”-22.5” chest so seeing the 81 with a slightly smaller chest measurement seemed weird. I’m assuming the bi-swing shoulders give the jacket a little more room than the measurements suggest?

^ Definitely, in my experience.

@Graham  I would certainly like to see what an XL looks like on you, perhaps with a sweatshirt underneath? Thanks, mate.

No worries sir, we will get that posted up by tomorrow.
