@Cole:

First we met outside

and then we went inside, where the big guy got naked all of a sudden.

We could have crossed paths yesterday in Frankfurt @Cole

IH-526L-V2, IHSH-213, IH-888S-OD

Mild weather in Frankfurt yesterday.  Taking the opportunity to tame the left-hand twill…

@Matty123 That grey N1 is awesome.

@Matty123 sounds good.  It’s a nice option for wearing the bandana.

IH-526L-V2, IHSH-204-RED, IH-888S, bandana and leather ring. I love this jacket and my first ultra heavy flannel. Shirt and bandana courtesy of @Jim and Stefan @Kentaurus. Tyrone County N. Ireland pin on pocket flap in honor of my peeps.

I’m in.

Everyone you meet will have a strong opinion about how you should train and eat. I’d just say sleep well, drink water, eat lots of plants, move your body, and get out into the sunshine.

Amazing how well that jacket is holding up!

Crazy nice jacket and fit.  It may have only fit the horse better!

We’re still alive!

It looks great @theorocks!

@marlin @neph93. Gentlemen, thanks for your responses and inspiration. I will give one a chance soon. Heading back to Köln this Sommer to visit Kentaurus. Last time I saw the wabash vest there but didn’t try it. More to follow. 

@neph93:

This vest deserves more cred.

@neph93 @Fadez @marlin @thehigster I’ve never considered wearing a vest but you have me rethinking that. Posting here but really love the fit pics of the 526V and the 02-Blk  wabash as well.

Well done @Sam. Your photos are excellent. I always have confidence in online shopping from IH not only because of the great customer care but also because your pictures faithfully represent the products so well.

@manufc10:

I was thinking the same….American capitalism is ruining the world.

That's quite a leap from "Japanese domestic demand has plummeted" to "American capitalism is ruining the world."  I'm not making the connection.  From what I've read, the fast fashion trend is growing domestically in Japan.

@JimBobTTD:

With a t-shirt and an Iron Heart flannel shirt:
108cm chest
48cm shoulders

So, it looks like an XXL will be the right choice for my shoulders and will give a 3" clearance in the chest, much like my old Levi's jacket.

I shall give it a punt. With return postage at £16, not such a brutal fee to send it back if it does not fit.

@JimBobTTD go for it!  Post some photos when you get your jacket, too.  I’d love to see them.

You convinced me, @finkster.  I'd rather wear it than haul it in a wheel barrow.

You’re rockin’ it @marlin!  It looks great.

Here’s an XXL 526PJ - just purchased last month (I love this jacket  :)) — I returned the XXXL because it was too big all over.

Here’s an XXXL IHJ-69 corduroy in black — I returned the XXL because it was too tight in the chest and waist. Great jacket too!

The point is you need to try them on to be sure.

@JimBobTTD, the bottom line is measurements are deceiving and you have to try it on to be sure.  I have an XXL 526PJ that fits perfectly.  I have an XXXL IHJ-69 that fits perfectly.  The measurements of the two jackets are very different.  I bought an IHSH-213 @Kentaurus last week in XXL.  I tried to fit into XXXL heavy flannels, but they were too small.

I'm about your size 5'11", 90Kgs (and need to lose a couple on the waist!), and I wear an XXL perfectly.  I'd stop wringing my hands and order an XXL and an XL.  Send back the one that doesn't fit.  Or keep one for layering and one for wearing with just a t-shirt.  You know, so you never have to be without it!!!  Trust me, you'll want to! 

I can upload a picture later, but I'm not home right now.
