[Tripleterror]

Man, I really want to resist this, but I don't know if I can

@Giles:

For reference it is a large.

Spoke at length with Haraki about it today.

Hm, what did he say? Will he be doing a version with additional inche(s) in body and sleeve length ? 

Simon.

The main thing i will say is that its the first time I've seen Giles smile on this forum, so Japan must be working.

My vote is for classic type III sizing. Modified pockets is already enough. Don't want it to be the a knock-off of the SE OD…

Never was a fan of OD'ing duck… Shit looks so good as is... Y'all 'd agree if you had the IH-2527J... Of course - only a handful of us have that'un...

Agreed and Not For Long…

You know something I don't?.. Re-issue of the duck rider, really?..

Oh shit, maybe not. Could have swore that was happening but then again, I am usually exhausted while reading through everything so I may have misread… Also, whenever you think you have something from IH that no one else/ few people have.... It gains momentum and shows back up.

[Seul]

Yeah - last news I heard was the proposed re-issue of the duck wasn't happening, this 2526J was the alternative…

Gotcha. My bad. Well, looks like you are special, but we already knew that!

Indeed the pockets are 'enough' !
If a Large is OK for Giles then I may be OK, fingers crossed.

[Seul]

Nah fuck that… I would've loved a 2nd run of the duck riders, and most def would've bought another one, just in case, y'know... Too bad... But this jacket looks equally brilliant!.. And the other riders are as well!..

Not extra long.  I am pretty tall with lomg arms and it is (I think) perefct for me, but then again I like the truly classic Type III look.  I'm still tossing and turning at night worrying about putting the pockets in it.

How about just one interior pocket for an iPhone/ smartphone and no slash pockets?!?!

[TinMan]

G I thinks I think will be good to go…. if not Lando has good idea...

The pockets don't do it for me at all, I say get rid of 'em !
Is it that easy though 
Mind you, if it's gonna be too short for me I don't suppose my opinion count's much does it 

[Giles]

The Duck version WILL have pockets.  I just won't put them on a denim version.  Haraki and I tried to work out a cool way of doing an internal pocket on the raw 18 oz that is coming out later in the year, but failed.

I'm not sure I understand: will there be an OD version of the Cotton Duck Type III? If so, what does the fabric look like when OD'd???

While I'm at it, stiffness-wise, how does the Cotton Duck fabric compare to regular 21oz denim?

Thanks
