IH-9527J - 21oz Denim Rider's Jacket - Superblack Non-Fade

[Seul]

The arms will shrink once the denim settles… As you create set creases (what's the term for honeycombs on a jacket???) they'll become 0.5 - 1 " shorter...

[FurattoHeddo]

Seul is correct, I wouldn't worry about the length of the sleeves + the arm combs on this jacket are some nicest you will ever see (this is true for any superblack item IH makes btw.)…

sidenote:

it's riders jacket, so I assume it's meant for ridin' a motorcycle. (or at least to mimick one) In that perspective the sleeves are just correct lenght. When you rise your arms straight forward and grab imagined handlebar the sleeves should end at the wrist, and no tightness should be felt in back.

This is just how proper riding jackets are built. (my Vansons sleeves end almost to my knuckles when unzipped)

All this without having tried on that particular jacket and seen only pics of it. Styling is after classic Cafe Racer jacket to my eye.

yeah, even with my arms raised it is still a tad long. i'm glad to hear that the sleeves will shrink a little eventually.

thank you guys so much for your invaluable input!

I usually wear a leather jacket. This is my first denim jacket. Can't wait to see how it fades and wear out over time.

Cheers.

A superb jacket, but don't expect the supablack denim to fade and/or wear out, unless you work that thing supa hard core - you'll develop nice combs and creases with the denim, but it's not gonna fade.

Hi, just wondering whats your "medium" on actual jacket tag size? coz I've ordered a medium and it came in today as "38" on jacket tag size?!

its a very tight fit…

[babyknight]

38 is Medium.

Looking at the sleeves in particular I think you have the right size… it is intended to be a fitted jacket.  Does it feel uncomfortable?

[jz714]

The reason I ask, normally medium is 40.
sleeves are spot on, its still new the jacket is stiff and quite tight, maybe some wear will stretch a bit.

[Katsushin]

Almost all new IH gear is SUPER stiff (especially the super black material)…
That's why everyone is always congratulating a new purchase then following by saying something to the effect of "now beat the piss out it, wear it hard", etc....

[jz714]

no problem, I'm still a newbie…
I'm wearing it now with zip on doing some kung-fu moves to break it in
