IHJ-49 - Split Steer Modified Type III Jacket - Black or Brown

[Giles]

I dont think those are "unfinished", I think some of the interlining (the white stuff) has not been cleaned up properly.n Try cutting the white threads away and see what happens, the buttonhole should be fine…..

Checked mine (black) and yes I think that is the interlining… nothing I would be worried about

I cut away the hanging threads. It's still quite difficult to button those buttons (maybe the holes aren't as wide as the others), but I assume they'll loosen up over time.

They will…...

For what it is worth, I checked my jacket and those same button holes look the same.  Interlining showing through.  As Giles said, ease of buttoning gets easier with use and time.

I just received mine a couple days ago and i have the same white treads on the same two holes.

And the first time it was almost impossible to get it buttoned up but Graham ensured me it’ll get easier with time and it’s getting easier already with only a couple wears.

I really love the jacket and the ordering and size checks through emails were perfect, love the service you get.

I was kind of in between a size L and XL so Graham picket me the size L with the biggest shoulder measurements as that was the main reason to consider an XL.

Perfect fit now.

Ive had mine since the summer last year. The buttons get a lot easier to use with time, the leather softens a bit as well. My example is slightly on the large size on the body which allows for layering, looks fab with a UHF underneath.

Those look fantastic!

I am new proud owner of this beautiful jacket. I have trouble buttoning the jacket. The holes and buttons seem very stiff. Is this normal? Any advice on how to button the jacket?

[goosehd]

I experienced the same with the stiffness of the holes/buttons and it does get better with time and wear…

[Bums_Fan]

Same, same. Doesn't take too long for it to get easier. If I remember correctly, the button hole with the most material in the location takes the longest to wear in.

How does the fit on this jacket change over time? Does it get bigger or smaller? It fits pretty perfect new, so just want to judge how and if it will change overtime. Thanks!

Nice looks great

[Bums_Fan]

Yup, that's a winner. Sometimes wish I picked up the black one instead of brown, but they are both nice!
