IHJ-69 - Corduroy Modified Type III Jacket - Black and Khaki
-
Yep, like neph said rhese have done pretty damn good for a jacket. Also, another thing to consider is the timing of this release. Here we are in spring with a lot of places going full swing into warmer weather and people gearing up for that. So considering the timing as well it's also done pretty damn good. I know I know….the whole world isn't going into warm weather just yet but generally speaking a lot of places are which I believe plays a role.

I don’t know how @Alex and the crew feel about sales so far or if it’s too early to reach any conclusions about how correct the quantities are. From a personal perspective, my preferred choice in my preferred size sold out quickly. It was one of those cases where if the cash was available I would have scored it at 16:01 on release day. As it is I’d have had to wait until pay day to pick one up. That won’t happen now, barring a return or me using another vendor (which I tend not to do).

I agree that it has sold well generally, though surprised how few blacks have sold compared to the other two colours. We did expect them to sell better given the hype on here recently, but like I said yesterday that's why we often get numbers wrong

It looks like it’s selling great compared to the original.

Makes me wonder if this has more to do with what staples people already have in their wardrobes. I like black but I already have the IHxSE od type III and the ihm-20 (though it doesn't appear black), so having a black corduroy type III would've felt redundant. Khaki, on the other hand, is one of those colors missing in my closet.

Do you guys in the very warm parts of the US not even need a light jacket in the evenings?
I lived in Arizona, one of the hottest places in the US, a large portion of my life. No jacket necessary at night in Phoenix if it’s summer. Other places further north need them though.

For me, the khaki opens up a whole new look, as all my other jackets are black or cordovan leather or black or indigo denim.
And from the fit pics so far, the khaki looks great, with a kind of vintage, even cowboyish, vibe.

I feel the same about khaki, it has a vintage vibe about it that I really dig.

Same. I showed it to my mother (lol) and she said that back when she was young (60’s-70’s), “the cool kids would wear a khaki corduroy jacket, just like that one.” she told me I should get it.
You always listen to mama.

No.
Today is windy and freakishly cold, (60F) so I'm wearing a light jacket, but I don't expect to need a jacket again until October, maybe November.

@manufc10 Na bro, already tried that. They dont allow us to do that in Australia unless its had a delivery attempt.. I guess different countries have different policies.. I guess I still get it, just longer waits.. The part that sucks! haha!!
You can ask us to deliver to a UPS store or other access point, rather than your address. But you have to do that at time of order.
We prefer that, as it costs less.

Yep..that's the point I was trying to make when I said no such thing exists in reference to a spring/summer jacket. Spring/summer jacket is a bit of an oxymoron round these parts lol.

I also think that khaki is arguably more versatile than the black. It looks so good with indigo/blue jeans and IMO even better with a black pair of jeans particularly if they have a white weft. I wore my khaki IHJ-61 whipcord work jacket with my 777S-21 black jeans quite a bit towards the end of winter and it just works….looks great

The desert does cool down some at night, though. Not enough to need a jacket, I'll concede. The standard Texas summer is more like 95F in the day, 85F at night, 90% humidity. Living in a swamp sucks.
Not that I'm trying to argue I have it worse, mind you. Phoenix is not pleasant.
