Thanks, @Jord - The size large arrived over the weekend. The sleeves are pretty much perfect. The body is a bit large with nothing but a tee shirt underneath, but it's not a tent. It feels pretty good with a flannel underneath. I could probably wear the medium just fine, and it would fit better with just a tee, but I'll probably hold on to the large.
For the benefit of others, I'm about 5'10", 168 pounds, 34-35" waist, and I wear a 40R sport/suit coat.
My Lightweight N1 arrives today. I wear a Large in UHF shirts and XL in IH's Type III denim jackets, and I went with a Large in the N1. It looks like the Large is only slightly larger than the medium, so I'm hoping it works. I'm sure I could wear a medium, but I wanted the longer sleeves and a little extra room.
I have one of these en route. I wear a 42/XL in other IH denim jackets, so I'm hoping this one fits nicely. It will be interesting to compare it to the 19 oz. left hand twill. The LHT is substantial and stiff, so I'm hoping the weave on this one has a different look and feel. Hopefully, I'll have it in hand by the coming weekend as the weather cools a bit here in Colorado.
@CosmoSix5 Saw that earlier - Self Edge must have received a good shipment. I was about to order from SE, then found one at Berkeley Supply in Denver (I live an hour south).
I just snagged a Large at Berkeley Supply in Denver (11:40 a.m. MST). I wasn't planning on getting this one, but it's the only UHF that got my attention this season. Hopefully, it will land here at the house in a day or so.
Size large incoming to Colorado. Hopefully, sizing is similar to my other IH CPOs....it seemed close.
@Mizmazzle Well, I'm about where you are. 25-26" (or 34" in a dress shirt) is my general sleeve length. I'll have to think on this one and see if we have someone local that I would trust to alter. Thanks for the quick reply!
@Mizmazzle What is your typical sleeve length?
I wear a L in virtually all of my IH shirts, so I'm thinking I want a L in this jacket. The sleeve length is pretty crazy, though. I have kinda long arms, so maybe the L will work. Even the Medium has a long sleeve length, but for me, a little too long is better than a sleeve that rides up when you reach across a table. Thanks!
That's a good fit, @Denimminer - my fit is very similar. I plan to wear mine over a T shirt, and I like having some room to move.
@CosmoSix5, I just misted mine heavily with water and threw it in the dryer. Hoping that all that tumbling will help with the stiffness...hah!
I missed out on the IH drop, but found a Large at a US retailer. Should be in the house by end of week to add to my black overdye CPO and black moleskin CPO!
Great looking shirt in the herringbone...might have to pull the trigger on this one.
A unique and interesting M65 variant....I just registered for an inventory notification!
I've already purchased the bright blue UHF work shirt, but I might be "forced" to pick this one up. I don't have many reds in my closet, despite a daunting tower of UHFs. The blue and green stripes on this one add a distinctive but subtle twist...very nice.
A beautiful bright blue....and in a work shirt. This is probably going to be UHF #10 for me...
Very nice! I have the indigo overdye CPO (which is fantastic), and the black moleskin CPO, so I'll probably sit this one out. Or maybe not...
My 21 oz. 888s in indigo are some of my favorites. Looking forward to the upcoming 21 oz. OD restock. Fall will be heading to Colorado soon!
Nice color to complement jeans. I've always eyed the full-zip hoodies but have never purchased one. This one will probably push me over the edge.
@Cskarev Nice fit...congratulations. I also have one in a size L, and I picked up the black moleskin CPO as well. I prefer the OD version, but the black provides a slightly better contrast with jeans. Enjoy!
