Love this one (and the duck version!).
@Graham Thanks for pointing that out. Would be great to see some photos of someone trying on some different sizes, if possible.
yeah this would be really helpful!

I still cannot believe a nylon jacket is my top WANT in this collection!
That was my initial thought, but it's one of the best looking jackets I've seen is a while.

@Graham The length concerns me the most, but it's about the same as a type 3
goes without saying, but its designed to be a short fit

Glad it's short. Well, my wallet is at least. Sometimes reproductions are toooo accurate?

@doubletee sorry to hear this man. I can only imagine the emotions you’re going through haha

@doubletee 2 hours!!?? Oh dude!! Brutal!! Have you considered giving the family a double dose of NyQuil and slipping out the door?

Some fit pics:
Sizing reference:
My usual IH jacket size, which is XL. I am 179cm tall. Length suits me perfectly for a bomber, the waistband cuff overlaps with the waistband on my jeans, which are the 888 cut.
Take the dive...

In case it helps, and for a bit of a flourish, here’s a couple of macros of the fabric in the rain:

Verdict after a 45 minute walk in moderate rain, it’s not waterproof, but it is water repellent and resistant. Where the water sat on my shoulders it eventually seeped into the fabric, but where it was on my front and back it dripped off before it could seep in.
And the lining is nice and warm. Didn’t feel the cold or wetness underneath the jacket at all.

@JerkStore Why thank you.

@EdH Thanks for the photos, looks great!
