IHJ-143-IND - 12oz Kersey Work Jacket - Indigo/Black

[FlavourFade]

This one's the most interesting piece of the collection for me I think

[tvaillant75]

the most intriguing for me too

[BalticBob]

This is also the favorite for me, I also like that it's little boxier cut. I have found the summer jackets to be snug in the past, I like it but I do sometimes want to wear more than a Tshirt underneath.

Can someone point me in the direction of a similar fabric so I can see how this one might fade?

@BalticBob this is a new fabric, so not really. But you can see how indigo/black fades here:

And you could check out the thread for the IHSH-208-IND to see how indigo kersey fades

Nice, thank you! Really looking forward to this one and the measurements when we get there.

I came back to look at this one again after I watched the IH Germany release video because Shane wore the Jacket quite a bit at the start of the video. I am curious about the buttons in this colour; are they really this colour or are they a little more subdued in reality? I find that in the video, they stick out a lot and I keep looking at them. This is obviously a 100% subjective opinion but I was curious if I'm the only one? I know the camera can make things look a little different especially since the button's are glossy and the rest of the jacket is not, but I did find myself wondering what blue buttons would look like...

[Alex]

I think the colours of the photo are accurate. Buttons, are a pretty easy thing for you to change at home, though, so not exactly the end of the world if you felt like you wanted to make the swap

[ZackB]

I like the color of the buttons. I think it ties the brown collar together with the rest of the jacket.

I know in the reveal video it was stated this has a stiffer handful compared to the western and work shirts, but will it provide the same amount of warmth?

[Alex]

I’d have thought more

Have been wearing this jacket for a week now to try and see how it ages after @tvaillant75 prompted the question. What I will comment on is what a beautiful jacket it is, very versatile worn with a tee or layered. I love how it feels throwing it on unlined and although it is quite a subtle kersey, the texture and density of the weave is - hoping I have enough time to see some evo pre launch!

[SKT]

@AdamC man that’s a great looking jacket. Does this replace the previous work jacket model like the 124’s? Or an entirely separate model?

[AdamC]

@SKT Just an entirely different model both of which were/are seasonal so the same pattern of either may not be produced again

[SKT]

@AdamC thanks man…both are great cuts

[tvaillant75]

@AdamC thanks for championing this jacket, looking forward to seeing the evo.

It also looks very nice on you, great fit! I useally size like you, is it a L or XL?

[AdamC]

@tvaillant75 This is actually a large, but will see what I am when the production arrives. It is tight if I were to layer it but I prefer it just over a t shirt and in this case it is perfect. The shoulder pleats allow the great fit but with increased manoeuvrability which I love

[tvaillant75]

Yes it's what I imagine as the vest looked quite roomy on ben's. Thanks

[AdamC]

Worn for 7 days, crazy how quickly this one is evolving

[Oaktavia]

@AdamC oh woaaah that is not what I expected.

[AdamC]

@Oaktavia I would love to see how it looked with you or @Jcaz6996 putting it through its paces - ive been relatively gentle with it in the grand scheme of things
