@simmosn:

Has anyone managed to get any shrinkage out of this?

@simmosn I wanted this jacket, but knew from measurements that I wouldn't get into my usual size (XL).
So I got a XXL which has the perfect chest size for me, but shoulders and sleeves somewhat too wide/long.

Washed it once with 90°C (inside out, no spin).
That crushed the leather patch, but the jacket fits well now.

That looks good @endo

The shoulders are (were) perhaps marginally too wide but not enough that anyone would notice without you drawing attention to it.

I really like the look of this jacket. It's underrated in my opinion.

Absolutely agree, @going_to_battle , the shoulders could be less wide.
But I wanted this for layering. I also have a corduroy Type III one size below which I wear in summer.
This fit here is a compromise.
However, it is a wonderful material and I'm very much looking forward to its evolution.

It looks the perfect size for layering.

Loving this! Perfect after a hot wash

@simmosn cool look, and IMO a very good fit

Occasional lurker, first time poster here. I picked up a 4XL in the end of summer sale and am thrilled with it!

[going_to_battle]

4XL? That looks much smaller. Fit looks great

Thanks! I guess there’s no scale in this pic, but I’m 6’2” with a 48” chest - IH is the only Japanese brand I’ve found that makes tops big enough

@giles is this jacket available in Japan ? Size xxl?

It is not sold, therefore not stocked, in Japan I am afraid….
