@weftyarn Also grabbed one at the outlet, pretty excited about this jacket when i'm back home tomorrow
-
Just came home from vacation and this awesome jacket was waiting for me
really happy with the fit and quality... @weftyarn you will love this jacket -
Awesome @Fades-for-future
Can’t wait to receive mine…
How did you size it? Same size as UHF?Still debating on wether to go for same size or one up from my UHF size.
-
@weftyarn i picked my uhf size wich is XXL, the length is perfect and i got room to layer a hoodie underneath for the colder days. This Jacket will get tons off wear
-
I went a size down from a Western uhf and got a large when they first hit the outlet. It can still layer over a flannel but I wanted it to fit slim'ish for layering under a type 3 or just wearing with a tee. It's got a bit of a "technical" fit this way other than the fact it's cut a little shorter. Haven't worn it much but looking forward to it on cool misty pnw winter days.
-
Perfect, confident the XXL will work for me then
-
For sure man
-
@Fades-for-future Here we are and the fit couldn’t be better. Man that is an underrated piece. Light as a feather, but still has that certain IH sturdiness.
Who was responsible for the breast pocket? Build him/her a statue.Over a 14Oz hoodie
Over a tee
-
@weftyarn really looks dope Mate, fit is awesome and like you said.... UNDERRATED BEAST
-
-
@motojobobo i tooked my uhf size wich is XXL, in other shirts or tees i'm an XL. I couldn't be happier cause i can wear a hoodie underneath wich is great for colder days and i even can wear just a tee underneath and it looks not too big or anything...

@motojobobo said in IHJ-100-BLU - Quilted Light Parka - Blue:
This chatter is weakening my resolve….erm…how did you go about sizing @weftyarn? Went for a loose or trim fit? Same tag size as your uhf shirts?
Yup I went tts to my UHF size (XXL) as @Fades-for-future suggested. Sizing down would have been impossible for me (too tight forearms & too short body). Sizing up would have been possible I guess, but then it probably looks a bit sloppy worn over a tee.
I see me wearing this as a spring / autumn layer over a tee or longsleeve / thermal. As you can see the 14Oz hoody fits under it too but it gets considerably tight in the forearms. If you plan to wear it like that sizing up is probably the safer bet.
I have to add that im closer to 3XL than to XL in UHFs so that maybe explains why @Fades-for-future can wear a hoodie under his 2xl more easily.
And as always: the size chart doesn’t lie

@weftyarn wearing mine today too, a superb Jacket

there are too many "it depends" answers here; are you actively moving, sitting still waiting for something, layering it, only over a t-shirt, is it raining or humid, windy, etc? Still, for me, it's useful anytime it's 60F or below as it can get pretty warm with just a t-shirt.
With only a t-shirt and for a casual walk somewhere, I'd probably be good down to freezing or so in it so long as it isnt ultra windy or raining.
Layered under something it would probably be ok down to the teens in F for me.So basically, I use it about the same as a 14oz hoodie but when i dont want the bulk or need a little extra warmth in the drizzle.
fwiw, keep an eye on the length, these are cut a bit shorter or more "athletic" i guess compared to a 14oz hoodie. My torso is a bit shorter and I wanted something that didnt hang down too much below a jacket, so this was perfect.
-
@aboath i'd say i would wear it with a hoodie or a uhf underneath at around 5 degrees without freezing much... But this is just me
i have worn it now with a 1600 underneath at around 10 degress and a bit rain, can't complain about anything... -
I'd like to wear this jacket in the fall weather of Wyoming (temp range between 25F-50F rain or shine) wearing something like the 1700 underneath while walking the dog, running errands, etc. . Sounds like this parka might be perfect. Any other considerations or insights? Thanks @pechelman @Fades-for-future
