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

[Giles]

If you have tried on the XL, then you must have a reference which will be far better than me trying to advise blind. No?

@Giles I’ve never worn a leather jacket before. I wasn’t sure if some snugness in the upper back/shoulder might be expected if extending out the arms to a 90 degree angle or there about or if this was an indication of an ill fitting jacket. I should’ve been more clear. It felt like a well fitting jacket otherwise.

[Giles]

The snugness may indicate that it is a tad small. Does it look good, feel good, if so it should be OK. Sizing up may make it feel a little better, but may just end up looking too large.? It's a very difficult question to answer with certainty.

So I went back and was able to try on both the 44 and 42. I ended up leaving with the 42. The 42 fits great and even allows me to add a couple of layers if needed. The 44 was too roomy. Idk why I thought it was too tight when I last tried it on.

@juicydeeluxe looks like a good fit to me! Did you end up buying it?

[juicydeeluxe]

@goosehd Yes, this one was 25% off because there was some black dye transferred to it from the black one hanging next to it. Got the black too lol

For anyone with this jacket and the N1, how does the sizing compare? I noticed Adam C and Graham wear an XL in this, but a L in the N1.

[Graham]

Hey Gunnar,

The N1 does indeed run a bit bigger so if you want to layer or button your J-49, you will want to look at 1 size larger than your N1. Same size will most likely only work open over a tee.

@Graham Thank you!
