Thanks Shlomo.. Been enjoying it for a couple of years now. The 2526j is my favorite TypeIII - highly recommended

Bad news- Good news

Bad news…I have just had a mail from Sudo.  He noticed that there are some colour variations on the component parts of these jackets (that is different panels are slightly different colours).  It can only be seen under fluorescent light and the photo Sudo sent me did not really illustrate the problem.  But they are deemed to be unsaleable like this.  So we are going to have to make a new batch - 2-3 month delay.  Sorry

Good news…We are going to overdye them to see if that works.  So potentially we will have a black Type III with pockets sooner than I thought.

If the variation is not all that visible, would it be possible to sell them (or maybe just a few of them) as is… Possibly at a different price point?

I doubt Haraki is interested in selling what they consider second rate goods, regardless of price.

[Hematoma]

How soon would the OD versions be available if it works?

Correct…

I reckon about 5/6 weeks.

So is the duck supposed to be slimmer than the regular Type III or is that just happenstance? It certainly looks that way from the pictures and the measurements would indicate it's a half inch narrower in the chest and a full inch at the waist.

[Giles]

Happenstance…

Will overdying shrink the duck as well, or are they basically shrunken to size? There has been an overdyed riders Cotton duck jacket once, that one looked great (don't recall ist owner, though).

[Giles]

Probably.  Though I'll likely never know.  They'll end up the size they end and that is the size I will publish.  It was @DougNg I'm pretty sure…

I agree as well; however, the idea of second rate goods is rather subjective.

I waxed my brown duck hat.  I think it turned out great.  Now i want to take it to the next level and wax the duck lll jacket

I don't have any IH pieces, but I think I want this as my first piece.

I'm 5'8" 155 lbs. I was thinking of getting a M. I want to be able to layer with a hoodie. Anyone similar height and weight have any input?

thanks

[Finn666]

you need to work with (body) measurements, not with height and weight @lascaux …every body is different as you might know!

[jock1624]

Lascaux,

I'm 6 1" and 180 pounds and went with a 42 size . A Large may work for you ?

Like Finn said , measure a similar sort of jacket you own and compare with the IH measurements . Good luck .
