IHJ-49 - Split Steer Modified Type III Jacket - Black or Brown
-
@Mizmazzle looking forward to seeing the results, hope it turns out exactly as you envision. Fantastic piece!
-
@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot Thanks holmes! I know it's not the prefered way to go about it, but also, this jacket has notoriously long sleeves and that's not going to change, so....if I want it to work, gotta do it!
-
Love this jacket!! Went with brown because I don’t have any brown jackets. Man the black one looks great too! Can’t go wrong either way.
I wear a medium in the denim jacket and a small in the UHF. Ended up going with a small for this one. I live in NorCal so usually just wear a t-shirt or thermal underneath so don’t need to layer much. Like others have said, the buttons were really tight when new. I used a metal wine bottle stopper to stretch out the holes and that actually helped a lot!
-
@TheDefaultState that fekker looks damn good on ya playuh!!! Sleeves are just right too!! When did you pick it up?
-
@Mizmazzle thanks man! I got it about a month ago. Did you do your sleeves yet? I think it’s totally worth it to get it custom fit for you. It’s so beefy it’ll last forever…I think even a hundred years from now people will still wear this style of jacket. Just timeless.
-
@TheDefaultState very very and did i see very? Cool!!
-
@TheDefaultState mine should be ready to pick up any day now! Every call that hits my phone I’m hoping is the shop saying it’s ready!!!
-
@Heavy_blue haha thanks. This thing smells so good too. I take it off and my shirt smells like leather
-
@Mizmazzle yeah I bet the anticipation is killing! Did you get that white spot out? I’m guessing when they shorten the sleeve most of that will get cut out anyway??
-
@TheDefaultState this is interesting. Mine doesn’t smell very strongly at all. And not like opening a box with new boots in it. More like a subtle light smell.
-
@Mizmazzle yeah that’s right. It’s not a strong smell…how you described yours sounds about right. I notice it from time to time as I’m wearing it. Then when I take it off I can still pick it up on my shirt. It’s just like a clean leather smell.
I use this talc powder called Clubman/Pinaud on my upper body after I take a shower. It has an old school barbershop smell. I think the jacket smell may be mixing with that a little too.
-
@TheDefaultState just got the call from the furrier!! Jacket is ready!! Fingers crossed my friend. Fingers crossed!
-
@Mizmazzle WOW!!! Looks great man! I think the length is perfect! Huge improvement from before. Are you happy with it?
-
@TheDefaultState yeah man. Couldn’t be happier. Perfect sleeve length honestly.
-
@Mizmazzle yeah enjoy it! Looks great!
-
@Mizmazzle oh yeah brother! Very nice!
-
@Mizmazzle glad you're happy with it! I was curious how the cuffs would look after alteration, but seems flawless.
Texture of the suede really shining in this natural light too!
-
@Mizmazzle definitely better now. Any creative ideas for the off cuts?
