@Richard I think that’s part of what’s messing with my brain. I’ve always been XXL at the smallest with IH sizing.

The only ones that have XL in stock I believe are Self Edge, but I’ve been comparing the measurements all the other vendors have posted. SE seems to have enough in stock that if it’s too small, a swap would be easy enough. I just like to get it right the first time lol. A habit from buying lots of stuff from Japan and not really being able to make returns.

How has sizing been in these? I’m getting very mixed signals. Going by IH, Dant, Iron Shop, I would have a smidge of layering room in an XL. Other shops have theirs measured in a way that an XXL may be too tight.

@Paul9221 Dang it does look good cuffed. I didn’t know how well the creases would set, being a lighter material.

Anyone know any online tailors that could shorten these sleeves? I reallllllly love this jacket but my T-Rex arms just won’t abide. My tailor won’t touch snaps.

Carry some crusty bread with you and just dab it on your pants when you need a snack.

@Matt that’s all thanks to the mommy blogs. Anytime I have a concern about fabric, I head to the mommy blogs lol.

It also works on Goo Gone. Got some caulk on a new pair of RGTs and the goo gone worked wonders, then the corn starch removed the goo gone.

@iammortalcombat I look like a kid in court who has never worn a dress shirt before lol. My tailor would shorten the sleeves on a work shirt. He doesn’t do alterations on snap shirts, he recommended a woman in town who will, but I’m guessing the snaps wouldn’t be the same quality.

@T4920 ok I can work with that. Thank you!

Freshly washed. Slow fader for me, you can only really see the change in the sun. I’ve been wearing it consistently (unless it’s Deck Jacket weather) for a few months.

@Matt

Thank you! I haven’t nailed down fabric weights in my mind yet. I’m glad to see there is a work shirt version. My tailor won’t touch the snaps and my broad chest and trex arms don’t really agree with the westerns.

So I am new to the world of caring about what weight clothes are lol. What temp range would most people consider 9oz for? I’ve been wanting some plaid pearl snaps and ombré is my jam.

@goosehd

Ahh ok. I remember it suddenly becoming available to me on the old platform and being surprised. Oh well, thank you!

I’m having an issue with the New Thread button in the BST forum as well. I was able to make a listing before the switch.

@Cutlasshound:

May not be tailored enough for you but I bought a beautiful navy moleskin chore coat from Drakes. Also tried on their denim one, which was very very nice but on the grounds that I already had a denim IH one I did not get it.

Chore coats are a little boxy for me, plus hand warmers are a must. Thank you though!

@CrowRobot:

I’m curious if anyone has had one of the teacore campus jackets long enough to have some fading? Really curious about its appearance.

I THINK the VEB leather gent on IG has one?

I’ve seen his Natural which looks amazing. I guess from the description I’m afraid it will age like a cheap bonded leather couch. Chips and cracks instead of fading like denim. But examples of other teacore jackets I can see on google images look fantastic.

I’m letting my M65 go because it’s a little tight in the biceps and it’s a little long for my torso aesthetically (in my head). What’s a good in between jacket? My Type 3 is very fitted so it’s a solo piece, I can kinda squeeze a UHF in there. And Texas has been too warm the last few weeks for my N1.

I would prefer IH but I’m open to other brands. I have a Freenote waxed Rider I’m selling on eBay because it’s just so boxy on me, I prefer a more tailored look.  I really like Mister Freedoms take on Pea Coats, but they don’t have any in my size. Just an idea of what I like aesthetically.

Thanks!

@dummykid:

did u size down when you place the order?

From my UHF size, yeah. But I got the same size N1 and it fits like a dream. I feel like if I sized up on the M65 it would be too big everywhere else.

I got mine today and I love it…mostly. Fits great in the shoulders and chest, ample space in the stomach. But I don’t know if I will be able to keep it, the armpits and top bicep are kinda tight. I’m gonna wear it when weather allows to try it out, but the tight areas are very tight with a UHF, it will make layering a challenge.
