Still one of the best

Just got my od-version of this jacket. Got to say, very nice and just what I was looking for, thick but soft. I was bit hesitant about getting one first because of the sizing. But took the risk and got one in size S (my normal size in pretty much everything). It fits perfectly and measurements align with all my other IH type 3s in size S.

Plain slubby heavy flannels. Similar to the IHSH-156.

@Twistlock thank you for this. I guess from what I’m reading the OD dye method comes down to a more environmentally friendly process.

That said, I wonder how the newer direct dye method compares to the sulpher dye in terms of fades. The older shirts I see here (sulpher dyed) look absolutely amazing.

I understand the hardware doesn’t tarnish with the newer method, but will the fades be the same or are they too new to tell?

I have 293 from the older batch, sulphur dyed etc., and 888s-21od from the new batch this year. From what I can tell, wearing them both, there is not really a difference. In my opinion, of course.

Got mine today! One of my favorite IH pieces already.

Mine too! Very pleased and glad to notice that this too has a nice hidden pocket similar to type 3’s

@T4920 pouch pockets sewn to the waistband. You can slip a phone or a wallet there. But some smaller things might slip through the side as they are not all the way sewn closed.

Edit. And just to say: these serge offerings (pants and the windbreaker) have been just great! I had the serge 555 back in the days, but had to sell them because they got too skinny, but loved the fabric. Work pants (the cut is great with good pockets and everything) and the windbreaker are effing great.

Those who have this jacket in OD-version: how is the sizing? Just wondering because there is a 3 inch difference between S and M sizes in pit-to-pit measurement.

Thanks!
