Thanks, guys. The jacket is completely great

Owners! Any updated detail shots of the wear of your jackets? Very curious to the wear of the brown hh in heavy wear areas (cuffs, seat, zippers).

@Wander:

Last time I wore a leather jacket was in my mid-twenties, as I turn fourty the 35 is my first leather jacket since. I like it. I wear it without much thought = versatile? Since then, I got ANJ4 and someday want to try something like IHJ-53.

This will be my first leather [for now] and and tying to achieve that versatility aspect. I would have likely purchased already if the ihj54 had a mandarin collar.

@Giles:

I cant remember if Kiya specced the measurement to be different.

He confirmed they stock the jacket in the NY store and I plan to drive up to give it a go in the near future. Are you still wearing the 54? Im curious how its aged so far, if you wouldnt mind sharing pictures (understand f you'd prefer the dedicated thread).

@Wander:

@kpdarb, if someone has one version, most likely they don’t have the other. I was in your position when I looked into the Jacket. First, I decided I wanted the pockets and contacted the guys at Selfedge, Kiya was very helpful in deciding the right size for me. Everything worked out well. ️

Great to know, thanks! How do you like the jacket so far? Did you look at any others?

@neph93:

SE and IHUK take measurements in different ways with regards to shirts and jeans. I bet it is the same with jackets. Otherwise, these things being made the way they are, there are often variations.

I don’t know about SE but IHUK have videos on their website demonstrating how they measure.

@DrBabyhorse:

We’ve discussed this a few times and if I remember correctly the only thing we were sure of is that the SE version had longer sleeves. Personally I think that with this kind of investment you might have to consider buying one to try the fit (assuming you don’t live near a SE) and sending it back if it doesn’t work for you as part of the process. I have the IH methods for measuring so ingrained in my brain that the SE numbers don’t mean much to me.

Thanks, guys. I reviewed the measurement video provided and its most helpful. Now i guess my question is more specifically, is the IHJ-35 and SExIH collaboration made to the same measurements and the difference is the methods used? The sleeves do seem unusually long on the SE version but fortunately one inch makes little difference to me.

Im not far from NYC and once i have a free weekend I will drive up to try it on in person (assuming when I call they confirm they stock it).

Anyway, I'm still on the fence between this jacket and the IHJ-54.

Again, appreciate the feedback, gents

New guy here with the question. First off, beautiful jackets, everyone. Im looking at the SE version with hand warmer and lack of side zips. I've been reading this thread and while it was hinted at but not outwardly said I figured id ask. Are the measurements the same between the two? SE has different ones listed than Its website.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there IH forum! From NY and now live in Philly area. Came for the flannels but stayed for a leather jacket. Looking to take the plunge on a HH rider soon.

Look forward to learning about the brand and members
