Luckily the weather here in Sweden has allowed me to wear this jacket since it came out, it’s a great piece!

Sizing
According to the measurements and comments from others here I was leaning towards an L for a slimmer fit (194cm, 83kg). I’m happy that I ordered both the L and XL, because the L was too tight in the shoulders and on the shorter side. With a UHF underneath the XL fits great, so if you intend to wear this as a practical winter jacket and not just a fashion item I highly recommend sizing up and take your UHF size!

Jacket
I wanted to wait for the new oiled khaki version, but after seeing some of the real world photos of the brown one I was sold. I own way too many green, black and khaki clothes anyway and wanted to try something else.
As others have said it’s a bit of a coppery, duck brown and fits really well with the lighter color of the wool lining.

There’s not much to say about the quality of the jacket, apart from the fact that it’s very well constructed and will last a lifetime (to be expected at this price). I like the fitted look of the IH version, compared to the Buzz Rickson N1 that I considered which looked more baggy.

I'm also very curious how it will break in and develop over time. On the first day it felt like the jacket was wearing me while now it feels more fitted, especially after it got completely soaked in the rain. I don't expect any crazy patina, but I'm interested in experiences from others that have been wearing these for many years.
