@tenuin beautiful shirt, congrats! what is your height and weight in reference to your size 3 fit? Looks great!

@northsouthdenimguy Thank you. Good feedback, I was glad to see him do another release pre-order so I could grab a pair. This will be a good addition to my pants. I'm really only trying to buy 1-2 pants a year, and 4-5 shirts/jackets at most. Anything else just feels like over consumption.

Always love these Alcan double front pants from a few years back. Great for winter snow, muck, and mire.

@northsouthdenimguy new pants look good, how is the waist feel and what is your typical waist measurement?

Picked up an XL for a good versatile technical jacket. I was originally going to grab the IH-153 Primaloft quilted Riders jacket, but it was pushed back a year due to some production issues. I figured I'll get one next year, and these are different enough and serve slightly different purposes. Love this jacket, and actually very warm with the fleece lining throughout. The Cordura shell fabric is impressive and will be a great jacket for riding my motorcycle. As with many IH jackets, the pockets and collar are top notch. This is certainly a "collar up" jacket and will get tons of use this winter. Special thanks to ISP for amazing customer service. Ready for the snow storm here in the midwest.

@Johnnyutah247 its always a bit of a surprise fit, and you can't go wrong. it ends up being the perfect fit shirt or perfect fit overshirt, and either way is great. share some pics and update.

@Northman Home Run! This is one of the best CPO's, and just gets better with time as the color and fabric softens. Amazing fabric, and twill lining. Fit looks great!

@SKT Really cool jacket, and unique design. I think it looks great, and you could always dial in the fit if you want with hot wash, and if you need a bit more a hot dry. Great choice!

sizing is tricky indeed, mine ended up an overshirt / jacket (my fault with getting wrong size a while back). Sleeves are traditionally a bit longer than usual (at least on mine) but all good. Sometimes we just acquire enough (too much) clothing and everything has it's perfect place and function.

@corralitos I sized up from normal XXL to XXXL and should have stayed. This is not a western CPO so pay close attention to measurements chest & shoulders.

@Crease Very unique fades and texture. Look great!

Transparency is important. Many of us have good relationships with a few retailers. Hoping it's nothing too drastic, but I know the comprehensive list of current retailers is quite broad so it makes sense to dial it in some. The "hunt" has always added a fun element IMO. Needless to say interested to see the list and timeline.

@GoodtimeJohnny This is my oldest IH shirt and love it, but even after a few years it still bleeds indigo on my t-shirts. I try to designate a few "bleeder" shirts for this purpose.

This is a beautiful winter coat, better than a peacoat in some ways. Well done IH!

@Oaktavia Nice score, legendary jacket with all the right features.

@northsouthdenimguy and it looks great! thanks for sizing tip.

Haraki has this incredible gift to design new pieces that I don't necessarily feel right out of the gate. Then after a bit of time (and all sold out) I realize I love it.

@CAliCO_faded very nice, good progress! Mine is older and definitely a slow fader. I should probably wash mine. I should probably wash a few of my shirts, lol.

@GreenMan Well done, great shirt and unique look with the snaps!
