This has happened to me too. It doesn't make sense, but it's true.

How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

Monitor,
I ordered the XXXL, and if it works it will be a trim fit! I’m glad to hear that you like this take on the 101J as I consider you pretty knowledgeable when it comes to denim jackets. I am not sure how quickly it will ship, nor how long it will be in transit. Tomorrow wouldn’t be soon enough (as always!).

PN and Barnabus,
I’m glad to hear that I’m not alone in this experience. I guess it shouldn’t be so surprising that this can happen with a jacket, after all it has happened with plenty of people that I’ve met over the years as well. First impressions are valuable, but sometimes I guess they need to be revisited

That’s beautiful. I’d be tempted to keep it. I said this to another member who posted photos of the same try-on jacket. However you go, you’re set.
I wore my Highwayman when I stayed on the Queen Mary. There is all kinds of sunburst deco art in that ship. Made me want a Sunburst. And it was built in Scotland too!

Haha, no, I'm really not. I'm new to them, though I did wear an old Levi's for years a decade ago. I just did a little research on the 101J and IMO, the IH version is the one to go for. As for the Type III, I've no clue what's right or wrong but the IH makes a damn fine jacket (for example, the inside pockets have smaller openings and are angled so stuff can't fall out, something I've only seen done on an IH) and that's good enough for me.
Can't wait for you to get the 101J. Post plenty of pics! Not many around.

@El Marro,
IHUK quotes 3 working days delivery to most places globally, so you should be waiting too long if you purchased from there..

IH should pay you a commission. i bought the overdyed left hand type 3. the only thing i don’t like about it is that can’t wear it with jeans!

Lol! I should. But yeah, that left hand denim looks best and it ages like no other (check out the IH thread: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=5004.1005 ). Love that jacket. The size would've been perfect for me but only reason I didn't get that one is because it supposedly shrinks so I was afraid it might end up being a bit small if I decide to wash it... Which would've eventually happen, of course.
I've got another IH on the way. The holy grail I still can't believe I managed to score. Pics and review will follow.

Thought i was done buying jackets....teach me to think!! As my Dad used to say.
In the mail...i think?
Hoping it’s nice as or nicer than my other one. Otherwise it’s gone.
Be well. Bowen
Dirt cheap Sherpa & suede rancher/ trucker, fit is OK but man it reeks of a long while in a basement. Time to bust out the deodorizing tricks and hope they work. Otherwise I'll likely donate it. Any tips for removing odor? Was thinking of sealing it in a bag with coffee or charcoal...

Perfect fit, perfect jacket. Worth the effort it takes to get rid of the stench. At least you've got plenty of time to figure something out. Just leaving it on a hanger outside for four months ought to do the job.
Aaaand I chucked it in the washer

Boyo,
I did purchase from IHUK and I was pleasantly surprised to see that the item should be arriving on my doorstep this Monday!

That looks familiar. I communicated with the seller and think you will be happy. Fingers crossed for you. It was a smidgen too small for me, or I would have jacked up the price for one of us.
still too soon for another leather, but I'm seriously thinking about denim jacket
still considering if I want 1 button or 2 buttons on the cuff, because I would unbutton the lower one, yet without another button it will flare too much, hence the other button, but then it is not on the cuff band... zipper is much simpler....
I also can't find serious denim material, so I would likely paint the thing afterward with acrylic paint as " fake overdye" and also to give it some rigidity when later some wear patterns appear after several months and washes, then I would seal it with matte varnish also make it more rigid again.

Lol what's happening! Jean jackets are suddenly becoming very popular on TFL! It's epidemic!
You won't be adding any chest pockets?
Also, I'm not sure you'll like those pleats. They'll bulge out of the jacket if you do anything other than stand straight! If you're not standing completely straight, they just pop out. Especially at the belly and from a side, it looks really stupid, especially on a thin person. Check it out...
