IHJ-49 - Split Steer Modified Type III Jacket - Black or Brown
-
Thankyou Miizmazzle.
Looked back on the thread and saw your postings and comments.
Goin to try the smaller Large as opposed to the XL first I think.
If the other measurements work for me in the Large I may not require to get the sleeves altered whereas the XL would definitely need them altered.
I'm not convinced that I would be able to find someone locally that would make a decent job of shortening the sleeves for me.
Thanks Again.

@M800sct1 It's one hell of a jacket. Hope you get it all sorted. Let me know if I can help with anything specific.
I was able to get mine sized so that it works great as both a layering piece as well as just over a tee (though it is a bit oversized with just a tee but totally doable still) -

This jacket is the shit!!
Wow that look is awesome!
BTW, what boots are those? They are perfectly in place with the rugged but refined feel. -
@Mizmazzle What is your typical sleeve length?
I wear a L in virtually all of my IH shirts, so I'm thinking I want a L in this jacket. The sleeve length is pretty crazy, though. I have kinda long arms, so maybe the L will work. Even the Medium has a long sleeve length, but for me, a little too long is better than a sleeve that rides up when you reach across a table. Thanks!

@singletrack Hey man. My prefered sleeve length is 25.5 give or take...
The sleeves on my split steer were really long, and you're right, they are long across all sizes on this jacket. I had my sleeves shortened because they were just way too long for my preference. After I had them altered, the jacket was absolute perfection. -
@Mizmazzle Well, I'm about where you are. 25-26" (or 34" in a dress shirt) is my general sleeve length. I'll have to think on this one and see if we have someone local that I would trust to alter. Thanks for the quick reply!

@singletrack If you're curious you can read back in this thread a ways..I documented the whole journey of getting the jacket and finding a furrier to do the alteration.

Hey everyone! I’m loving the look and feel of my new split steer, but the dye transfer is really bad. Does anyone have any experience with this? I’m wearing it with just a tee today and my hands and neck are covered in black dye transfer.
Custom leather belts, wallets, and bags.

@Daniel-San it’s really bad.

@seawolf I had the same problem, don't wear anything white and give your skin that touches it a good wash afterwards. I was left with a very black neck line ,apart from that it is an amazing jacket enjoy.

Can't help there I've only worn it three times I have a lot of jackets.

Mine shed some dye when I first got it onto a white tee...but didn't notice much more transfer after that...though I never wore another white shirt with it since.
Granted, mine was lightly used when I bought it, so hard to say exactly how much wear was required for it to stop. I've worn mine a bunch at this point and haven't noticed any transfer of dye for quite a while now....
Also, the tanning, chemical smell from the leather is 95% gone. -
Wearing the split steer tonight…
Just wow! The split steer is incredible -
Hello. I’m unsure of sizing for this jacket. I’m pretty 50/50 with most of my IH shirts. UHF is usually XL and OD’d shirts are always XXL. I have an OD’d 17oz Type 3 that’s XXL but had a 14oz OD Type 3 that was XL. Iron heart N1 is XL.
I’d like to wear this with some layers to wear in the coldest of weather (NY) but not look like a sloppy mess in a T shirt. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

@juicydeeluxe Your best bet is to watch this video: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/topic/5664/video-how-measure-to-jackets-the-iron-heart-method
Measure your jackets (especially your best fitting one) and compare those measurements to the product chart listed here: Brown Jacket or Black Jacket
Take notes and see which size will work better for you and if you have additional questions, email the IHUK Crew for assistance at: shop@ironheart.co.uk
Hope this helps.
