Not yet man. I still have 5 years to goTony, have your 50th birthday and appreciate how longer jackets and tubular profiles can obscure the advances of time.
And let’s be honest man. I’ve seen your fit pics. You aren’t giving in or giving up. I’ll fight that shit with you ‘til the bitter end.
Yeah I'm not of the mind that I want to throw 500 plus bones in the washing machine and hope it comes out fitting better. I'd be afraid of ruining the blanket that way too. If anything the vintage 18oz denim feels much more prone to stretch out over time. That only serves to exacerbate the already too largeness of it...
What's odd is that the IH sizing model adds 1" or more of length (sleeve and back) incrementally up the size chart. The jackets seem to be fitted for folks 6'2" or taller when you get in the size XL and up. It's odd b/c that kind of lengthening doesn't occur, in Vanson for example, where the length increment is more like 1/4-1/2" up as you move through the size range. There is no way a storm rider should have a 27" back length to begin with in any size but when you add a 2" front drop...it gets REALLY messy.
In a need of feedback - what do you guys think? The jacket arrived this very second. Sorry for the stupid poses, I'm trying not to set the creases in if I decide it doesn't work.
