IH-101J-SR - 18oz Selvedge Denim Storm Rider Jacket - Indigo
-
if you size down I think it will be too small. Size up- :-\ what size did you go with?
Anyway I think you nailed it looks greatIt’s a large, I def couldnt go to a medium and an XL would be huge. Just debating if I should trade it in for the sherpa type III.

I originally tried the SR in a medium, and while the lengths in it may have worked I found the chest and shoulder too tight and it restricted movement a bit, was near impossible to button over anything but a t-shirt. I ended up with a large, and while it fits a tick roomy I really wanted to be able to wear it over some layers. The sleeves of this jacket are definitely on the longer side. I think the fit looks spot on @Anesthetist
Pic from when I first got mine, I even did up the bottom button which makes it look a little more trim than it is. The shoulders have loosened up with wear, I still think the medium never would have relaxed to where it felt comfortable.

@Anesthetist @Joberwocky Looks good, fellas. The sleeves really ride up with wear, and the whole thing softens and drapes nicely too.

Thank you @Richard @Joberwocky , @steelworker , @Fadez @ tobisieh @sabergirl for the reassurance and advice! I tried the jacket on again today with jeans and a flannel and I feel much more confident about my decision. I think what makes it look a little wider on me is just that the denim is still stiff and the lining is making it poof out sideways. I'm thinking with wear and abuse it will settle down and drape much more naturally. I have to say, it is a surprisingly warm jacket! Just with trying it on over an UHF I started getting hot ???
@sabergirl I talked to my wife extensively about which jacket to choose (she is so very patient) and she told me just to order the Sherpa too. I'm not sure I will but it's an extremely nice and tempting offer.

…I think it looks like it fits perfect @Anesthetist!
…I felt like the sleeves and the body were a little long at first on mine also (sleeves being an inherent IH trait) but I've grown used to it. Besides even if I went down a size the sleeve length wouldn't have changed. :o

That’s a killer fit @vaquero357
Here’s my goal

[mention]Anesthetist [/mention] she’s a keeper, but you knew that already [emoji23]! You can always try it and sell the one you’re not that into—though that would be almost impossible, I’m sure. The storm rider suits you. I think you’re right that it will settle and the fit will be perfect.

This is my first morning actually wearing the jacket and it feels fantastic. I took some time to really appreciate the craftsmanship in this piece. It’s pretty nuts and I’m sure it gave the factory fits at first. Anyway it has already settling down and is so damn warm! It was around 32F this morning and I was super comfortable. -
Looks fantastic @Anesthetist
Love the purple flannel combo, I look forward to temps dropping again my way so I can start fighting with myself about what killer IH jacket to wear in the morning
I'm squarely in sweatshirt or flannel weather atm -
Looks about perfect to me, how do the shoulders feel and how does it feel buttoned?

Perfect fits so far.
I have a vintage SR but this thing won't leave my head, even though I rarely wear denim outerwear. True to forum enabler form, you folks are not helping.

You know what you must do…..[emoji6]

@Anesthetist the Shoulders are fitted but not tight. Feels good buttoned up. With an UHF it is a little tight in the Armholes area.. I’ve planned it to wear it with an T and Henley and that is fine and comfortable

…@thomas01 looks spot on me boy!

Exactly how mine fits as well. After a few wears the shoulder/ armhole does relax just a hair, so there’s that to look forward to [emoji106]

The armholes in mine started a tick tight but they loosened up. Looks great @thomas01
