IH-101J-SR - 18oz Selvedge Denim Storm Rider Jacket - Indigo
-
Just got surprised by one of these under the xmas tree this morning. Wife grabbed me the indigo buffalo check and then saw this jacket drop in an email blast and decided I had to get this as well. Shoutout to Alex, who she tells me helped her out a lot with sizing and gave her an extremely generous/nice try on logistics for me between L and XL.
My sizing decision is that the XL/42 is the right size for this, since I'm going to want to wear this over UHFs and sweaters as a more common coldish-weather jacket. I could tell within a few flexings of the elbow that the extra length in the sleeves would go away a bit as they crease. I'm a large in IHSH models, though those are just over t-shirts so it's not apples to apples.
Wife (who is a vintage enthusiast) said after she finally saw all the stuff IH made she totally understands why I'm obsessed and have so many pieces now.
You have a good one there (jacket and Wife)! Lets see some pics!
Christmas started off very warm and humid but then the wind picked up and it feels like winter again.

Pic with my new IHSH Indigo Buffalo check under it. Obviously you can see the arms are bulky and a hair long, but the rest of the body is exactly the fit I want/need. This is specifically going to be my daily winter coat, so I wanted that bulkier less fitted look.

Looks like an A+ fit to me.

Looks great on you, your wife did well [emoji1]

Great fit, glad you're happy. Was a pleasure to speak to your wife and help her with the purchase for you - glad it all worked out.

Got it on the higher size specifically to be a winter jacket for snowy situations. It's fantastic for this, and so warm. -
It doesnt look oversized at all either. Best of both worlds!

Really think you nailed the sizing @Anesthetist –the fit looks great and it will only improve as the denim softens... This such an epic jacket.

Thank you, I am finally feeling like the jacket isn’t wearing me. I had a good 4 hours working outside with it yesterday and already little pops of blue are showing up. I am really hoping to be able to wear it well into the spring.

@Joberwocky man that thing looks it would last forever.

I've been wearing it pretty aggressively this winter and find the fades are slowly developing, but are starting. It's a boss jacket for sure…though I'm still envious of the 19oz Lefty

I feel like it's one or the other with those two…and I also think this one suits you well broski.

Just did a first pass of the driveway for the blizzard going on right now. This jacket was so perfect. Kept me warm and dry.Edit: Added another photo the next day of it out in the snow with the boy. Also, this jacket went through the dryer twice, 20 minutes each time to dry it out from the snow, and it came out great.

The fades, they're trying

Out on Long Island (NY). Just had about 24” of snow in the blizzard.
