IHJ-54 - Brown Chrome Tanned Japanese Horsehide Riders Jacket With Collar

[Giles]

Sorry…...

[Appfaff]

Anyone that met @formulapfaff and I at the Austin meet up will know how close we are. We share a lot of the interests, yet have very different styles.

I recently had a birthday, and I was lucky enough to have him surprise me for a weekend filled with great food, tasty beer, and family, and I was blown away by the thought and generosity it took for him to come visit me for my special weekend the week before his last finals of his collegiate career.

While I didn’t think the weekend could be topped, Greg outdid himself again, and bought me the IHJ-54 as a Christmas gift. I am blown away by his generosity, and humbled by the act.

I’m beyond lucky to finally have my dream jacket.

Thank you Gregory,

@Appfaff Adam, so glad one of these made its way to you. I can assure you from experience, it was worth the wait. This thing is in a league of its own. The details are perfection and too many to list!

From the pic above, the fit looks killer! Please post some more when you get a chance so we can all ogle over your new favorite rugged gear

Must be a bit upsetting that you “have” to wear the tour jacket for a whole month @Appfaff [emoji23]

^^Rules are rules. Horsey must wait.

I think even the toughest denim jacket will appear like a child's play after wearing a heavy horsehide jacket.

@Giles - what type of hangers do you guys use for these?  Even my wooden “jacket” hangers are flexing more than I care to test.

how heavy is the jacket? are you worried that the hanger is too short and will leave dimples in the shoulders?

[Dstauffer]

@Appfaff that fit is spot on and if you think you love that jacket now…you just wait because it only gets better!

When I got this jacket and some other heavy weight outwear, I realized I had to step up my hanger game.

These are what I got off Amazon to start with and they have been perfect. I really like the wide shoulders which help to minimize some of the shoulder creasing when these are hanging for a longer period of time. There may be some better options in terms of brands, but these have done the job fantastically for me.

They were like $40 for 6 I think, but for me it was well worth the cost.
