IHJ-52 - Indigo 13oz Selvedge Denim Rider's Jacket

[sabergirl]

Truthfully, I love everything about the riders' jackets, but the cut hasn't ever worked for my womanly figure.  My hips are too wide to be able to have the thing sit right, zipped.  Ditto for the majority of type IIIs, but with those, leaving the bottom button open is an acceptable work-around.

fully understandable, a shortish body length might be the key to make it fit right when closed. Or a two way zip

After the G-man 60th bday celebration shirt, I'm def gonna prioritize getting my hands on one of these bad boys.

You should, it's a beauty. Normally I welcome autumn, but I'm not looking forward to packing mine away until spring…

So i tried on the lined riders jacket at SESF this past week and it was the 42(XL) and it fit great. From the looks of it, it seems like that means a XXL in this jacket is going to get me right.

@Giles are there any substantial differences in fit between these two jackets that I might not be aware of?

As you surmised, the lined one came a size smaller than the unlined versions…...That's about it.....

Awesome sauce G-man! I'm very excited.  let's do this thang!

In case anymore intel on sizing is needed, I took this in XL (my standard IH UHF/shirt size) and it fits as it should over a tee.

Cross post of mine after having the sleeves shortened…..

Hot soaked once to get some shrinkage out of it.

I just stumbled upon this post because I really wanted this jacket in 13oz but it's no longer available… I've found a used one on sale and I was thinking about buying it but as far as I can tell, there is no inside pocket which is a bummer because I love my inside pockets for my phone... Dang it.

Thanks @neph93 for Super fast shipping

Now I need to decide whether to chop the arms or not. I like the light weight and fit, but the sleeves are way too long.

Looks great overall. Personally I would get the sleeves shortened if you are not happy with them. I did with mine. Found a great tailor who was able to deconstruct and reconstruct the original cuffs to maintain the zip and chambray lining.  Although it cost me a fair chunk of cash, it was certainly worth it!

Glad it arrived safely. The fit is brilliant. I chose to live with the sleeves, but a chop job should be doable.
