IHM-25 - 14oz Selvedge Denim M-65 Jacket

[neph93]

That’s how they should fit imho. Short and styled. Good job. If you spend any time at all in the colder parts of the USA then I can highly recommend the IHW-13 in black or grey melton wool. It ticks all the boxes you mention (apart from the denim smell, obvs ) and tackles arctic temperatures to boot.

I didn't even know about this one.  Same as the IHM-20 just non-OD?

@jstark did you ever try the IHM-20?  I assume this one fits like the 20.

And I agree, that small is a great fit!

Correct

Yes. He said in his post that he has the ihm-20 in a medium and he went small on this one

Oh, derp, he did say that!  I just looked at the measurements and yep, I would've done the same thing.  The medium in the 20 measures closer to a small in the 25.

How about shrinkage on this jacket? Has it been pre-washed like many IH shirts? I just ordered an xxl which looks like it might actually fit my 6’7” frame. Just curious if IH denim jackets are soaked first [emoji2371]

Generally they are once washed. It doesn’t specify on the product page but I’d be very surprised if this was any different.

Love this jacket! Fit is spot on!

after soaking in warm water…

     

a great option for winter (I wear it with a thick sweater)

[Smiladon]

@lazyoldsun Nice. I was wondering when this topic would get some love. Looks like a great fit. I too just gave mine it’s first wash in warm water. Love the outcome. I wear mine in the winter also with various under layers.

[lazyoldsun]

I'll liven up a little and relived this topic!

[Smiladon]

YES!!!

[lazyoldsun]

…well, so (a little more from last winter)

[Paul9221]

Such a great jacket!  I love when an old thread gets an update

Just a little flurry stroll with the pup and my IHM-25 (Also my nine lives Kalamazoo makes a sneaky appearance  ;))

[RoxRocks86]

Either your pup is unamused by your awesome kit or the snow…must be the snow

[Smiladon]

probably a little of both

[Paul9221]

I have to point out that those sneakers are fantastic, and match your outfit down to the retractable dog leash.  Well played, sir

Thanks, they're getting pretty old but they're favorites, and you're right, they do match the leash. I can promise you that wasn't intentional
