IHJ-04 Down Jacket
-
Howdy,
Just for the record, I did some localised washing of the cuffs and neck of the down jacket the other day (damn my neck can't be that dirty!). I used a wool wash for hand wash detergent at <30 degrees and it came up fine. The loft also came back fine on the funnel neck area. I am confident that a hand wash of the whole jacket would be non-problematic.
Hope you are all well.

The jacket is amazing
I recieved mine today and i love it. I wear 42 in my denim jacket and size like that everywhere, however i went with an XL and it fits just like i want it to!

^ i'm sorry to say it, but i do think an xl will fit rather off on you. I was tripping out about the xl i ordered because giles had fit pics of him in the xl and he's 6'2 i think! but i have a long torso so that helped me out with length, and the chest fit great. but a 38… man, thats a wayyyy off. 4 inches is a big difference. its like wearing size 30 jeans and getting a 34. it'll fit, but you better have a good belt and some baggy tees. i would advise against it. maybe the down jackets will one day (in the distant/not so distant future) be marked down on here too. just going to have to wait and see. But save your 150 man, its not worth it to look like you're wearing a sleeping bag. my 0.02

Simon, I think you would need a size Medium. I am the same size as you and I take medium in all IH shirts and jackets.

Mine showed up yesterday, it's just what I was looking for. I ordered an XL and I'm pretty sure that was perfect. A large would have been too short in the sleeves. The wrist/neck knits feel very, very nice!
42" chest, XL in heavy ombre and last year's heavy winter flannel, XXL in this year's extra heavy chambray
I was a little bummed to see that it was made in the PRC though…
