what's the 36 equivalent to size xs-xxl in these??? any simple way of converting the numbers to alphabets? @Giles @Alex  perhaps?

[Dion]

34 = XS
36 = S
38 = M
40 = L
42 = XL
44 = XXL
46 = XXXL

Here it is at St Andrews, an hour from home.  I've worn it a lot since I got it in December and it's slowly showing some light fades in the wrinkles.

Very nice indeed. Not sure what does it but I enjoy seeing and wearing IH kit over wool.

EDIT: if you see this post @Chris  I’ll be very disappointed if you don’t get a Welsh joke in.

Great combo @wdw - IH denim jacket and a woolen roll neck is always a winner imo.

[wdw]

Thanks guys.  The roll neck is an Outdoor Knitwear Woolly Pully, surprisingly cheap, with a long sleeve t-shirt underneath.  I find that combo underneath allows me to wear IH denim jackets in fairly low temps.  Today, when these were taken, it was about 4ºC plus some wind chill, and I didn't feel at all cold.

I got this as a gift and this is my first denim jacket, the first day I wore it my neck got a huge rash and it was really uncomfortable it got better on the second day. It's not my fault the denim is thickkkk.

[wdw]

I like this jacket a lot, so here's a comparison of what it looks like now after 4.5 months quite hard use.  Definitely improving with age.

[Giles]

Great.  Thanks.

[wdw]

The 101J doesn't get the love it deserves.  Now 8 months in and looking better all the time:

[Dion]

Nice! The raw 18 oz denim never disappoints and it's such a shame it is endangered.

[JDelage]

It's a great jacket.

[neph93]

I love it and have never picked one up in either colour. Massive 1st world problem, but I just have too many denim jackets already [emoji53]

[wdw]

The 101J seemed to need a lot more effort than the 526J to get to looking pretty reasonable as it does now, but 8 months is nothing in the scale of things.  I only have 2 indigo denim jackets, but also a few other jeans jackets which also need to get worn occasionally.  Choices, choices…

[Max Power]

Damn, now I regret selling mine. A pity the sizing didn't work out for me.

+1, can't wait for the IHJ-71! (18oz Raw Selvedge Denim Type II)

[Jordonf9]

Killer @wdw Makes me want one in my collection.

[Dion]

I'm curious whether these are going to be rerun or no chance and the 18 oz raw denim is going to be retired completely?

[Giles]

We may do one more run….
