IHJ-35-BLK - Japanese Horsehide Rider’s Jacket - Black (Tea-Core Dyed)

@Powerband:

Just arrived. And exactly as I remembered: easy to wear right out of the box. I sold a previous one, but this one is permanent.

Looks fantastic. Thanks for posting those pics. Do you mind telling us your shoulder, chest, sleeve measurements?

I'm in the ballpark of your dimensions by the looks. I'm in Australia where return shipping is a pricey PITA if I order the wrong size. I'm looking at ordering something in the 36 or 38 range.

I prefer the Selfedge edition (I prefer that setup pocket-wise) but there seems to be a disparity between either the IH and Selfedge jackets or measurements or both.

Selfedge and IH measure differently, thus the discrepancy.

Heysys,

I do not remember the actual measurements of this jacket but the jacket specs I’m most comfortable in are:

Pit-2-pit:  21 inch
Shoulders (straight across): 17.5
Sleeves: 24.5
Back length: 25

My chest measures 39, waist 31, height 170 cm, and body weight 65 kg.

This jacket fits damn comfortably.

Hope that helps.

We're very close indeed thanks. The SE edition that you sold because it was too big - was that a 36/small as well or a 38/medium?

I don’t remember the specs for the SE version and I want to avoid giving you inaccurate info.

EDIT: actually, I just looked back at the sale post. The SE version was a 38 and labeled as a Medium. It was 21.75 inches P2P, 18.75 in shoulders, and slightly over 25 inches in length.

Thanks for that. I'm imagining the sleeve length was an issue on the mediums for you as well. The difference between you and me is I'm about 176cm. I'm a bit torn here. I think I'd rather it look like it fits well in the body and shoulders and be one or two cm short in the sleeve. Then again I'm inexperienced with leather jackets.

Either way, I'm going to sit on this for a while unless there is some massive markdown that forces my hand.

Cool. Having owned jackets whose costs were north of this one, I can tell you that this one is more than worth its regular price.

Thanks

[Jett129]

Dude,That jacket is soooo you. Nice score! Can you get the 25OZ vest over it?

[Kasi]

@Jett129

Here you go my vest is a size medium and jacket is large

Can wear over it but not closed the button

Thanks

[Jett129]

I love that look,Cool AF. If you were wearing that combo on a bike,since it has snaps, you could use vest extenders to keep the vest from flapping around in the wind.    https://images.app.goo.gl/Fgep6gt49BbYLWm17
