IHJ-39 - PrimaLoft™ Gold/Pertex Shield DV Mountain Parka

[Giles]

I told you this thing was hot…....Email from a customer this morning......

"I recently bought the IHJ-39 and really love it! but… it's just too warm for our actual weather in St.Gallen (Switzerland). Well, it definitely get's colder soon. Anyway, thats a good reason for the IHJ-38."

@madmonday:

sh!tty image but you know

Nice fit there, SE have them now, very tempting.

Btw, what boots are those? Like them.

I've sent this jacket off to the bitter cold of the Canadian Yukon to get outfitted for a fur parka ruff.  Since temps where I live range from 35 to -25 C, I wanted the ruff to be removable and the jacket to remain fully waterproof.  Initially I discussed snaps, but we settled on strong magnets for the ruff attachment.  I won't have the jacket for a couple of weeks, but I will post pics when I do.

I'm having two ruffs made: Wolverine and Yukon Black Wolf

Feckin BOOM

Sounds awesome except for the magnets part. Depending on your sensitivity, strong magnets can cause headaches when worn as jewelry, and the same would probably be true here.

Is this extinct or what? Don't see any sizes in stock. Strong feel of "need".

[Giles]

Very extinct.

In fact this is an example of the Huia Louse principle….

There is (was) a species of North American fish that suffered the same fate (courtesy The Park Rangers) - I've forgotten it's name......

Okay, that's what I thought. And I can safely suppose that none of the european retailers have these?

Edit: reading through thread shows that is a nope.

I know Self Edge still has them.
Been wanting to get one but I know I wouldn't get to wear it that much down here…

Yeas, seems to be the only place. No problem though!

Update - here's my IHJ-39 with the white wolf ruff that I'm going with.  This is top ruff on the left side of the pic.  Originally I wanted the black wolf ruff bottom ruff of the four, but with the long black guard hairs it was (more) massive on the coat. It is almost comically high with the hood up.  The first prototype used some small magnets and the vendor has ordered larger magnets for the final product.  I'll keep in mind Sabergirl's alert about magnet sensitivities when the coat gets into my hands.

[sabergirl]

It looks really cool. I hope you don't get any headache or ill effects from the magnets. Maybe I'm crying wolf. Heh

looks like you got some big nuts for doing this @Joule (well you already proved it with your own take of the IHXAL-J100)…great shit buddy.
top ruff is best imo...

[Joule]

Finn666, no crazy mods for this.  With the magnet attachments, there is no alterations to the jacket itself.

I just received a pic of the wolverine ruffs she has available.  She and I picked #2, which is the most traditional pattern.

I have been wearing this all day in a pretty cold post-snowstorm New York, with one of those IH-somethingthatsahoody things underneath.  My god seriously warm combo.  This jacket is indeed a total beast.

[Finn666]

where tha pics at buddy? @babyknight

IHJ-39 with the Wolverine ruff (on a no shouldered child mannequin)

After she gets a Canadian fur export permit today, the jacket is finally being shipped back to me.  I'm thinking a couple weeks before I get it.

[Miiks]

Just got this. Not needing another jacket in ages. Amazing.

[madmonday]

Let me see, let me see, let me see
