Some bad news for the fans of red Ws - despite the sample having a red one, and us requesting that the production run keeps that, the factory got confused and moved the red W back to black (as it was on the original IH-526-SBG). Clearly, it's not worth the cost and environmental impact to send these all the way back to Japan to be restitched, so we will have to live with the black W on this run, and adjust on future runs...

Sorry guys

OK, So more bad news (for some) and good news for others. After some investigation, I have worked out why the red W was omitted...

Unfortunately, despite us specifically making a new sample (pictured in OP), requesting size changes from the previous jacket (IH-526-SBG), and adding the red W (per sample in OP), somewhere in Japan a mistake was made, and the old IH-526-SBG was rerun exactly as it was. This means that the run that has been recently delivered is not like the sample in the OP at all, and is infact just a rerun of this old product:

As such, I will lock this thread for a period of time. We will 'restock' the old jacket next week, but we will be pushing another run of this model, with the adjusted fit, red W etc through as fast as possible for those of you who prefer a longer body.

Sorry about this guys, but for those of you who like shorted T3s, and pockets, you may have hit gold...

This will be rereleased soon. Please watch this space. We will post new size guides, a list of retailers etc etc here

[JunkPants]

Absolutely perfect in my case.

When the black W was first mentioned in the other thread I thought to myself "I hope this means the fit is also like the old one".

[Kasi]

Bring it on

Sizing chart has now been updated in the first post

[FlavourFade]

Is it me or are they a bit more narrow in chest and waist than other jackets?

[Alex]

Yes - the sizing is not 'good' that's why we tried to update it. It will work for some, it wont work for others

Edit - have you read my explanatory post a couple messages up? @FlavourFade

[Luijim78]

sorry, if I understood correctly this race has the old dimensions (narrower shoulders and chest, shorter length, longer sleeves am I wrong?) I missed a few lines where they were talking about the new dimensions compared to the old editions

[DeeDee85]

Sorry to be the pain in the arse that asks the question.. but what’s the estimated time frame for the longer version we were hoping for? In time for next winter?

[AdamJ]

@Luijim78 the measurements for this jacket are in the top post

Yes I read it, but I thought it is just shorter and not all dimensions were that different. They won't work for me but I look forward to the updated one

I've been waiting for this for months, man, this hurts my heart.

[Kasi]

@Alex

Just look a the measurements kind weird the length being short.

My only question is the type 3 21oz SB non fade will you run that one more, I did see you mention having problems with it

[Alex]

We are not clear on the future of the 9526PJ yet, if that is what you mean mate

[Kasi]

Yes @Alex

[Kasi]

Might have to go Rivet and Hide try it on

Take it from here. This way I will know for sure which size will work for me

[Graham]

Pretty happy with an XL over a tee / 1501

[VegaS10]

How tall are you @Graham?

[Graham]

5'11" on a good day @VegaS10

Definitely on the short side may have to size up and see how that goes ..
