IHJ-129-BRN - Japanese Horsehide Riders Jacket - Brown

[doubletee]

@ARNC looks perfect to me. Any bigger and some of the proportions will be off. Got to try this on the other day and ‘that’s a f*cking jacket’ was the general consensus

[ARNC]

Thanks guys!

@doubletee it definitely is – you weren’t tempted?

[Giles]

I'd be more than happy with that......Congrats....

[ARNC]

@Giles I am, I just need to get used to it. Thanks!

[Giles]

Yeah, you will love it more each time you wear it.....

[Nik]

Looks really cool @ARNC

[ARNC]

Thanks @Nik. I find myself trying it on most times I go past the coat cupboard and (as G said) each time I love it more!

[weftyarn]

Hell yeah @ARNC this looks impeccable! Wear it well and welcome to the horse team

[ARNC]

@weftyarn thanks! You won’t be surprised to hear I spent a lot of time looking at your 54 before ordering this. If I get half as much enjoyment out of mine as you do from yours it’s a solid win (and early signs are I’ll get way more than that)!

@ARNC

Congratulations on the jacket, and perfect looking fit IMHO.

I’ve burned through a lot of money on HH leather jackets, trying to get the perfect fit, I’ve done bespoke, off the rack, multiple brands, patterns you name it.

My conclusion, you need one leather jacket to wear over a tee shirt, and one leather jacket if you want to layer lol.

[Giles]

Now, that is sage advice indeed.....

[ARNC]

@Brandrea the fit just took a little getting used to - 100% happy now - and I always thought there was a chance that serious layering might be something for the next one. I’m learning there’s always a next one, whatever we might think

[Dimi]

Received mine also! Awesome jacket! Even intimidating at first… Seems to good to be true… I’ve been waiting to pull the trigger on a leather jacket for so long. Wanted to get it right, and felt in love with this one.
I took my usual IH size ( Large )
I can fit a UHF under it ( a bit snug ), comfortable over a T-Shirt.
Wasn’t sure about the sleeve lenght at first, but they will probably come up a bit.
Thank you to James who found my the shorter sleeve lenght in my size.

[ARNC]

@Dimi good to have some company on here! Enjoy!

[Dimi]

Thanks @ARNC
Difficult to capture the deep brown of the leather with a phone! Here are some more accurate detailed shot!

[tody]

Thanks for all the pictures. I think I'm nearly ready now. Not much to be pushed over the cliff

Edit: Still 5 left in XXL. I'll watch that number closely. It's a long way to the September party, but trying it on before purchase may be a smart move on a 2k jacket.

[Brandrea]

@Dimi congratulations great looking fit on you.

The sleeves look perfect and as you said with Horsehide they should pull up a bit with sleeve tunneling as you wear it more.
