IHJ-130-BLK-NP - Reversible Tanker Jacket - Black

Really fantastic jacket. Quality is tops. Only gripe is it is a tadddd on the shorter end, but that's also an issue with my longer t shirts.

Ha now my wife wants one

Received mine, and really like it. The styling is REALLY cool, and goes with a lot of stuff--just a great look! Got the same size as my normal UHF size, and the fit is pretty good; maybe a little extra room for layering, but with its elastic adornments it just kinda 'sucks' to your figure, so being a little on the bigger side is no factor.
Having been eyeing this piece hard since its announcement, I was a little surprised/confused to see the snaps on the interior chest pockets weren't there like they were in the S/S24 preview video. Looking back I do see the subsequent product pics are representative of what you get, but since there was no mention of this change, I just kinda missed the forest for the trees, particularly since I had been revisiting that video many times to check it out, and that version had them. Anyway, the interior of the pocket kinda dips downward, so gravity kinda helps keep things in there, but if I'm riding for example, there's no way I would trust anything important like a wallet to not fall out, which makes me wonder what the point of the pocket is other than looks? Seems like a missed opportunity for a little more functionality? Any thoughts from the experts?

Fit pics anyone?

@A-eye-Kev Completely agree, a snap on that interior pocket would have gone a long way versus nothing at all. However, I love this jacket and also went with my usual UHF size and could not be happier with the fit.

When it is a reversible jacket, which side is the interior? Serious question.

@Giles LOL, I thought it was obvious which was which, but after reading your question I was like "uhh... maybe not"
Anyway, to answer your question, I think it has to do with how the piece is displayed/described on the product page. The first pics are of the model wearing it black side out, with the "tag" of sorts on the "interior" in that configuration, as well as the color designation (IHJ-130-NP-BLK) being black. Ergo, I would think it might be very common for people to subconsciously just assign the black as being the "exterior", and the olive as in the "interior", as that is what most conforms with non-reversible jackets? I guess we could get pretty deep philosophically, but that's what I was thinking, at least...

Here’s a few fit pics. This is my standard IH jacket sizing (L) and one down from typical western UHF (XL). Fit is perfect for a lightweight piece with no need to layer. Shoulders are perfect. Chest is ideal. it just sits a bit short though. But I think sizing up would have made it too loose with only an extra inch in length.
And a bonus grabbing my new car.

The one that's on the inside when you're wearing it.
