IH-2526J - 17oz Duck Modified Type III - Brown
-
Thoughts on the fit of my jacket? I like wearing this style more fitted/as a 'shirt'. I don't anticipate wearing much under it, just a t-shirt is fine with me and my climate… I see a lot of folks here layering with a button-up, but I think that my jacket is a little too fitted for layering. My fit seems to match the way that IH styles their Type III's on their site. I'm probably overthinking this, but any feedback? It's a 40, I'll likely pick up a 42 of another color way at some point, but I found the 42's sleeves to be a little longer than I like/am used to on a Type III.

Thanks @den1mhead !

@Babytooth that looks exactly like it should imho. Well done.

@Babytooth How's the chest feel? Any room for a UHF? I usually test this out by opening my arms out like I'm giving out a hug and see how much give it has.
Personally, I usually only wear mine with a tee. Length looks great and the arms will have a gradual though minimal shortening as you wear it. -
@J-IV I just tried it with my ultra heavy flannel underneath and was surprised at how comfortable it was. The length of the flannel past the jacket is a little irritating but I don't know how other people feel about that, seems pretty common with Type III jackets for the length of a shirt to be visible past the hem. Hugging myself and spreading my arms is not uncomfortable at all. Thanks for the tip!

@Babytooth Sounds like a spot-on fit then!
I feel you on the length issue. From my understanding, the jackets were designed to rest around or near the waistband of your pants. I try to keep my jacket open if I'm rocking a flannel underneath.
