The main things which I like about the IH clothes are the trust….Then I really get a good set of emotions which each item, I am happy to wear these things and never regret about spend money.
All of this ^^^

Agreed, congratulations. That’s a killer jacket and a killer fit.
-
Perfect fit @Bulatik85. I would love to see a photo with just a tee. I have this thing where I have leather that I layer and leather than fits a bit more snug for simpler, lighter fit and feel. I sorta' struggle to get both right in the same jacket. Just curious your impression of the jacket less layered.
-
Definitely works perfectly both layered and here just with the tee. Nicely done. I look forward to seeing more photos as the jacket breaks in and gains patina. Please don't forget us, I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to see the progress, @Bulatik85 !

yes, I will post pictures after some wear.
now I am waiting for the suitable weather conditions, I live in cold climate(during the winter season), so need to wait for warmer days… ::)couple of questions, since this is my fist horsehide leather jacket:
the leather is "not soft"(don't know correct english word for this characteristic) out of the box, this is might not be the correct description, because it is soft in general, but still has some "carton feel", I believe it is common for horsehide leather and it will break in with wear.
from the patina point of view, does this leather created to have patina? like tea core leathers? of cause any leather would have some patina with wear, but just wondering if this leather specially made to gain patina quicker? -
Job well done @Bulatik85 , you got that fit spot on!
Given that this is the same leather as the IHJ-35, it definitely starts out slightly stiff but quickly softens up. Regarding patina, this version hasn't been out for long enough but @DrPat and @Max Power had some great patina shots in the IHJ-35 thread. Below is the most recent patina post.

Works brilliantly with the hoodie layer yo.

A few shots of the jacket on the way out this morning. If anyone cares also: IH-634, Levis shirt, Vaurnet rx glasses, and that's our brand new pup below, Neela.

^ Superb jacket @profdbrk and Neela the puppy is gorgeous ^
-
Has everyone ordered the same size as their shirts?
If so, can you fit an UHF underneath?
I’d like to layer but moving up a size throws some numbers out of whack. -
I wear XXL UHFs and have an XL jacket. I can wear it over a UHF but can't really zip it up with any degree of comfort, plus extra snug through the sleeves anyway. The jacket is fairly fitted and not really something I would wear over a UHF - plenty of other options if I want to layer as such.
However I think there are others for whom this layering works well, just not for me.
-
Can anyone in a size small chime in? I want to pull the trigger but I’m afraid the shoulder and sleeve numbers add up too long for me.
Also, is everyone able to fully zip the sleeves or is the thickness of the gusset obtrusive? -
It’s on the way to me now. Thanks all who have contributed to the thread and pushed me over the edge.
