      Hard to explain, but I have sort of long arms, wear M shirts, and the small would probably better on me given the added arm length.  I wanted to layer it so I got a medium.  So yeah, the arms are about .5 to 1 inch too long.  But…

      The long arm length isn't as obnoxious as it would be on a shirt.  The added cuff and adjustable wrist bands over last year's IHSH-02 are helpful to keep everything in place and not flop about.  Having worn both the 02 and 03, the 03 feels much more solid.

          I really screwed up with the number of these I ordered.  Just one Large left.  If you pre-ordered an L and have not ordered, you are about to lose out…...

                      Yeah yeah yeah. Whenever it arrives you got it. Not trying to press G&P atm with the JP trip fastly approaching.

                        it's from this season.  super limited on this side with tweaks through out.  i'm sure once you have it in hand you'll either be pleased with the tweaks or ask why did they change xyz

                              I stand corrected. As for being pleased or not pleased, isn't that always the case? You know, a 50/50 chance you will like it or not? 😉 I have no doubt I will like it, I am a bit afraid of the Large as opposed to the XL but I won't need to layer much with it so I should be good.

                                unfortunately it is always a toss-up 😠

                                this version is supposed to be warmer than last season's & i was surprised that "the Boss" even went in saying how much improved this version is/was.  if i find the link i'll put it in here later.

                                i look forward to your thoughts on it as i was really excited when it was 1st unveiled.  i just have way too much outerwear & couldn't justify it 😠

                                  Believe the hype…  It's a very stout coat.

                                  The only things I'd like to see would be a pocket on the inside and a way to attach both ends of the collar together to cover the neck.  Maybe it could fold back to not be visible while the collar is down.  Neither one of these features would make me buy again to have them, but just some thoughts for future revs.

                                    Our regular UPS driver picks up from us at about 13:00 every day.  So, we made arrangements for Ben to get stuff ready to ship in time for the 13:00 pick up.  Typically our regular guy is off this week and the relief driver has not shown up when Ben has been there for 2 days now.  Ben stayed until 18:40 last night and still no feckin pick up.

                                    I have fired off some nastygrams, but if you have ordered anything since late last Friday they are still at IHUKHQ.

                                    So sorry people.  Paula will be communicating this to all those affected later today.

                                    Ben is going to stake out IHUKHQ all day today….

                                      Seul, cheers and thanks you! Makes sense as I know how on point G&P are with this stuff. Man, I wouldn't have wanted to be that guy getting those messages from a Sake, Beer, and Whiskey infused G-Money…  😢

                                          So I cannot say how happy I am with this jacket. Well, maybe I can but I am not going to drone on. This thing is beautiful and fits perfectly! So glad I was "forced" into purchasing the Large. I am almost sad I will have to leave it here in NY while I travel to SF for the week tomorrow. If you don't have this jacket and have a chance to get your hands on one, I highly recommend it! Fit pics to come, whenever I feel like it… 😉
