IH-527J-SP - Blanket Lined Indigo Riders Jacket
-
This has been my main daily jacket for the past 2 winters. About 10 months total wear. No washes. I got a XXL, but could have gone with an XL. I've received more compliments on this jacket than any other single article of clothing I own.
Overall, I love this jacket. However, being that it is specialized for moto riding, there are some draw backs using it as a daily. Mainly, the sleeves are too long, and I always have the cuffs rolled back. The fabric lining the cuffs isn't that durable and the edges are fraying. It's also a bit short in the body; IH western shirts in XL are a bit long on me and hang down quite far below the jacket hem. The button on the neck strap is annoying as f**k, as it constantly rattles close to my ear. I'm seriously considering cutting off the strap. The leather pull straps on the cuff zippers ripped off after a couple of weeks. They were a nice sentiment, tho.
Not very good pics. First is from 11/17 when it was brand new, on a trip to FR, with new 888-NT's and IHSH-13. Last pics are current wear, as of 03/19, same jeans.

Time to post some pics of this special jacket. I don’t wear mine much due to a local weather deficiency which I hope self-corrects itself soon.
Perfect cool weather bike wear!
