The Definitive Jacket thread.

UPS says mine will be here next week. We shall see.

 

[INEOS OG]

Well this happened today. As a 2X guy I opted for the second to the largest size listed (58?). It fits like a 1X.

The patch is cool.

Maybe you are a 3X!

 

[INEOS OG]

Maybe you are a 3X!

Maybe. 38 pants and a 52 chest makes me a beast. The 58 was supposed to be 4x in the UK.

Mine is avaliable for $6,900 with the limited edition patch and garment bag .

Well, what do we have here………

Looky looky - a day early even. Well done UPS.

This could be my new favourite raincoat.

If I lose another 20kg before winter.

Mine arrived today as well. I ordered a size 60 and it fits in the sleeves, shoulder and chest but damn…the rest fits me like a tent

If I ever wear it, I’ll definitely need a belt, haha

And it's mozzie and dingo proof!

You must have read the attached card?
I’ll worry about that when it eventually fits.

I have to say though, it’s identical to the one I had in the 80’s when I first started riding bikes. Although I recall that being a bit of a heavier grade cotton. Now it’s more of a fashion item it’s probably nowhere near as waterproof either. Although that thing left a bloody stain on everything it touched - hopefully this one doesn’t.

I think I’ll stick to my Hunter’s Element waterproof pants with my Mont jacket when it’s really pissing down though - new tech breathable has its advantages.

I think most waxed jackets these days use a drier version that also doesn’t stink. At least my Barbour jackets are that way now. My original one would leave stains and also stink

Jacket just arrived.

Jacket just arrived.

Does it fit?

 

[Rupert]

Mine arrived yesterday.

 

[Rupert]

Mine arrived yesterday. I received a size 46(US) it fits in the sleeves but the belly cannot be zipped or buttoned. If anyone in the Dallas are received a 60 and it is too big, let me know and perhaps we cano work out a swap.....

 

[TheDocAUS]

Does it fit?

I have not fitted it yet. Probably going to my nephew and I will keep the patch.

It may not fit me, my chest (not belly) is to big, it will be borderline. I knew this when I did my measurements.

Received the jacket today. Or, rather, my wife received the jacket today. Women's Trialmaster. Looks great.

No patch, though.

 

[bigleonski]

Subliminally Ineos is sending us all a message to stop being fat bastards.

It’s obviously bad for their image, despite the Ineos being a fat bastard (well at least heavy) itself.

Did you look in the jacket pockets?

 

[grnamin]

Did you look in the jacket pockets?

Bingo! Thank you!

 

[holdmybeer]

Did you look in the jacket pockets?

Oh for f**k's sake. YES! There it is. THANK YOU!

 

[TheDocAUS]

I made the same mistake, so I thought I would check.
