IH x Simmons Bilt Savannah Jacket - Black Concerns
-
Wanted to get some second options as I just received in the mail my first leather jacket from IH x Simmons Bilt in their Savannah cut which from what I asked CS is basically just the Roadster. Mainly got this version instead of the standard for the horsehide leather and the dual zipper.
As this is my first ever leather jacket and I’ve never really tried on one in person I had to compare it to my best fitting jacket which very closely fits the measurements for their XL size guide. Even the CS rep recommend that I get the XL when I gave him my measurements. But after receiving it and trying it on it actually fits a tad slimmer than what they stated… which isn’t entirely the end of the world but I was as hoping it would fit a tad looser. Included some fit pics of how it fits on me (6’0” 195lbs for reference). Is this how a leather jacket should fit or should’ve I sized up to an XXL? I’m hoping the leather would soften over time and flex a tad.
Also, I noticed that there were a myriad of scrapes and scuffs all over the jacket right after I opened it from my mail. Is this normal wear & tear from the actual leather? Or did it get damaged in shipping? A tad concerned as something this expensive should’ve been QA’d prior to shipping.
Other than that, let me know your guys thoughts on sizing and if my concerns are actually worth sending it back lol.

@SinnimonStick Hey man, sorry that you are not totally happy with your jacket. Looking at the photos, I do not think you need to size up, size is subjective though so you need to have a jacket you feel fits you right. I think the XL looks like the right size though.
In regards to the blemishes, you can have slight imperfections on the hides but I do think the images you have shown, definitely the first image, is excessive and sorry that this was missed prior to shipping. When @Graham and his team are back in the office, they can look at the other XLs we have to check for blemishes and scarring, and liaise via email. Obviously that is if you are happy with the size XL

Hi @AdamC, appreciate the quick response and feedback to sizing. This is my first rodeo so I wasn’t too sure what normal looks like in leather jackets. I would appreciate it if the team could provide me an actual P2P measurement of the XXL just to verify how it compares to the size chart. @Graham was actually the original person who helped me size the XL, but I should’ve asked for additional details then so my apologies.
In regards to the blemishes, totally understand the slight imperfections and I even read that on the care label inside but as you saw there were some that looked out of the norm. Totally would appreciate if the guys looked over the other pairs just to gauge how the others compare. I also understand that inventory is limited, as I saw there was only 3 XLs in stock.
From there we can discuss further. Appreciate the help!
