I've come to the realization that signing up for promotional emails and following IH on Insta was some of the worse decisions I've made this year. I honestly thought that after last year I was done with UHF purchases, but seeing this piece, I'm drawn back in.

I ordered 3 pairs of 634s.

I may not be the smartest man when it comes to online shopping, but I have nice tastes in denim.

I'm sure it's been mentioned here previously, but for those who are on the fence about this piece, be forewarned, it is INCREDIBLY stiff and rigid upon delivery. It was incredibly uncomfortable to wear with just a t-shirt, as the material was rough on the inside of my forearms/inside of my elbows. I tossed on a flannel or a hoody and was much more comfortable. As time wore on and a couple of washes later, the jacket became more soft and easier to wear. I still layer for comfort, as it's a bit rigid, even after a ton of wear. For reference, I own multiple IH jackets, and this was the most difficult to "conquer" per se. It may be in your best interest to keep a layer in mind when ordering/sizing.

One thing that attracts me to IH UHF is the bright vibrant colors and unique patterns. While I do like the red stitching, the rest of it seems so......dark (duh). I'm going to ponder this one for a bit and see if there is space in my wardrobe for a darker shirt.

@Oaktavia, so you know, your pics/content pushed me to that terribly uncomfortable purchase.

Mine arrived earlier this week, and I had the copper buttons added as well. During Fall/Winter, all I wear to work is IH jeans and a UHF/other overshirt. This month I'm breaking in a new pair of SBG 634s paired with a 235-GRY from last season. When I get home at night, I change into sweats and have been wearing this new shirt over a t-shirt. One thing that has not been mentioned is the noise this thing makes when it rubs against itself. The first night we were watching TV, my wife asked "Why is that shirt so damn noisy?"....that turned into a solid ten minute conversation. Anyways, I'm going to get this broken in a bit better, as I'll be switching over into some blue denim for March and will replace the 235-GRY with this at the same time.

This is one of my most worn pieces, as I sized up a bit to layer over a thin hoodie. Sorry for not including pics, but this is a fantastic jacket.

I'll try that this evening and report back tommorow.

I did make it to the bedroom....lol

@selvedgeosaurus, I have one of those and it's great. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

@Mizmazzle , I had to sell my lefty due to how uncomfortable it was. I washed it, threw it in the drier, wore the hell out of it, and no matter what I did, it never became soft enough to be comfortable.

@Alex , bro at this point I don't care the color of the W, I just need this jacket in my life.

@Giles, I think I'll be reaching out to the crew Monday morning with a sizing request and see if y'all have something close to my needs. There is a few in stock in my target size, hopefully something works.

I really wish the P2P and waist wasn't so slim in this. I love the fabric (I've got he N1 and more recent cargos in this material), and I'd love it in a jacket, but I can't see a way for it to fit.

If I go with my standard XXL size, I won't get it fastened, where if I go up a size, the arms are far too long and the shoulder is too wide.

This is the first item I've ever added my email to for the notifications, as I really want this!

@Alex Thank you Sir!

Is this similar to a 777 or 555 cut?

I did make it to the bedroom....lol

Update: The shirt did not make it to the bedroom.
