Gorgeous coat! I have a Freenote Cloth Heavy Mariner in olive that I love. The Mariner has wool lined sleeved sleeves and I wondered how you liked the quilted lining on your coat.

@pmadison95, I love the mariner and highly recommend it. I like the alpaca in the sleeves. The pockets do not have a wool lining, which probably would have been nice for warmth, but might have collected dirt, lint, etc. It is a great jacket for the cold.

I think it would be hard to justify getting both the mariner and the RJ-2, but I am going to try my best.

@neph93:

A skilled/specialist seamstress or tailor could do it. Plenty of opportunities to screw it up. But it is a shacket so I just flip them.

@Kasi:

Flip them… no more to says...

Thanks!  Feels a little floppy and weird, but I do think it looks good.

How feasible is it to shorten the sleeves an inch and a half without mucking up the shirt?  Thanks as always!

If the IH-526Lod fits me perfectly in XXL, would you all recommend the same size in ISH-178?  The ISH-177?  Trying to decide between XL and XXL.  I'm 6'2, 190 lbs.

Thanks so much!

Thanks for the tag, Reuben!

For those that have both the 888S-OD and the 888-XHSib in the same tagged size, which one ended up bigger once they were both broken in and all the stretch accomplished?

Much appreciated!

Is the expectation that the blue will eventually peak through?

Thanks to you both!  I think I'm going to give the 33 a shot.  I will either drink less beer and slim down or more beer and put more pressure on the waistband to expand!

Cheers!

I have some 888S-OD in 34 that fit very well. I’d like to get the 888S.  But the regular 888S in 34 that I have tried were too big in the thighs. Would you all recommend that I track down an 888S in 34 that have smaller thighs?  Or an 888S in 33 that has a larger waist?  (The 888S-OD in 33 that I’ve tried was way too small in waist, but maybe that was due to over-dying.) I’d love some advice.  Thanks!

I'm about to order and according the waist measurements on the size chart, I should order a tag size two sizes smaller than other IH jeans that I've tried on.  I guess the numbers are the numbers, but it makes me a bit nervous.  Have you all been sizing down?  Will it really stretch an inch or two in the waist?

For reference, the 888S seemed about right in a 34, but the thigh was too big.  The 32 seems right on paper in the NO-LOT, but I've never ordered jeans in a 32 in my life!

Thanks for your advice!
