@Mister_Brue me too, I just feel a little out of my comfort zone in a riders style jacket. Here’s hoping for a type 3

@Mister_Brue me either to be honest… a shirt then eh? You can never have too many indigo shirts, that’s just a fact

How’s the sizing on this jacket if I wear a medium size flannel shirt should I size up from a medium to large

[krebsy]

It will depend, at least in part, on how you want to wear it. I'm almost always between large and medium in IH shirts. I usually go M in work shirts and L in westerns depending on the measurements. That said, I went M in this and it's a trim fit which is traditional for a rider. A UHF under this is pushing the limits but doable if I'm wearing it zipped up. Unzipped is not a problem. If you want a more relaxed fit, or if you need/want more length in the sleeves or body then you may want to size up. I hope that's helpful.

This is over a 7.5oz tee. I'm 5'9" and it hits right at my waistband.

The fabric has a rustic feel with plenty of texture.

@krebsy that looks like it’s going to fade like crazy! Congratulations on the pick up and please let us see some progress updates!

@krebsy this size looks just right on you,
I think the L would be to long in the arms for me medium sizing would work,like a work shirt on me.

@krebsy Nice, very cool jacket. I think this one will age incredibly well. I'm a sucker for the shorter jacket cuts myself.

I now llive in Texas where the weather is super hot 8 months of the year and warm the rest of the time. Should I get this one or the 21oz model in order not to suffocate when I'm at a red light or a slow moving situation under the sun?

[Alex]

This will be slightly cooler, but the 21oz is breathable as you well know, so both could be workable. I would be going for 13oz, having spent a couple of days in Austin this year

@Alex It was hot as could be when you were here too!

@gbougard 21 might be good for riding in the winter. It does get pretty cold when you’re not in the sun light.

New snaps from Johnny, some BTS from me, and Courtney once again looking absolutely spot on with the fit

The jacket quite obviously looking mint.

BTS...

@Nick Courtney wears IH so damn well!! Send him our compliments

[Nick]

@goosehd I'll let him know for sure. Even his beanie wearing abilities are skilled-up. Looks great no matter the style

[gbougard]

@Danimal506 sorry for the late reply. We're now in the middle of the "cold" season here in Austin.

I was hoping to score a leather jacket in time for the "cold" season from a brand in Scotland (wink wink) but the skin they ordered for it hasnt arrived yet...

So I ride with a modified type III IH jacket (the one dyed in indigo) over a tshirt, a thin merino hoodie and a regular hoodie with a scarf to block out the drafts and it's very, very bearable.

I just arrived back home from a 50 mile ride and it was beautiful. Man I love Texas

[Danimal506]

@gbougard That’s awesome. Glad to hear you’re enjoying the riding here. Texas really makes me want a motorcycle. Other than all the crazy drivers on the 35 haha

I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled for a Type III out there!
