IHJ-14 - Heavy Duck Award Jacket in Navy or Beige

[Peter]

^nice write-up man, still torn between this and the deck jacket. but i guess one really cant go wrong with either!

Wore this last night in 28F(-2C) weather in 30mph+ winds which made it a "real feel" of 5F(-15C). I had a t-shirt and Gitman Lightweight flannel on underneath and it kept me quite warm.

Tried this one on yesterday at SENY.  Really liked it except is it just me or are the pockets very high on this?  I couldn't get comfortable when my hands were in the pockets.  I got used to the type III high pockets but these seemed even higher.

Anybody else feel that way?

Feels fine to me but I'm a shorter dude. I wish the arms weren't as wide throughout the sleeves though.

Pockets prob seem high cuz its a shorter jacket

[crankyfart]

the chest measurements for these seems to be rather big. G, you reckon would you be able to size down on these?

[Giles]

I could go down to an M for a more fitted look, yes.

thanks G! so you reckon I could get away with a small? would the shoulders be an issue?

my measurements are,
shoulders around 17.5"
chest 40 to 41"

arms are never an issue. (i've got arms like a t-rex)

[Giles]

Best I can do is "maybe".  I 'd order one and if it does not work, we'll take back or exchange.  I'm shipping to you amy minute anyway.  G

this thread needs more (good) pics!…

[Giles]

Click "see in shop", choose size, place in cart, check out, wait 2-3 days, take pics, post.  Sorted

Please make this in brown and black duck next year?  Maybe even Olive Duck too. Great jacket.

two minor "issues" with the 14,

1. the sleeves could have been a bit more tapered towards the hand openings to give a more tailored appearance
2. the bottom zip has some material that sticks out and looks odd.

will love to see if this does well enough to return next year & watch if any tweaks occur. . .

Looks dope on you Mad!

My only issues as well. I'm probably gonna cut the bottom zipper pull off.

[Giles]

Exactly Monday, cut it off…..

thanks fuzzy-kins.

but it just seems so wrong G.

oh and I'll add a bonus "issue" the exterior pockets are lined in cord on one side but the interior pocket is lined on both sides. all my "issues" are minor & as usual are just brought up as possible tweaks for next year.  consider it free research & development if this stays around.  i get a lot of mixed reactions on this piece from forum homies but civilians that have no idea on what Iron Heart is always love this jacket.  Like most things Iron Heart it's such a simple understated item that is overbuilt with out a bunch of bells & whistles.
