@Giles - Any chance you remember if any retailers bought these?  I know it's a long shot. and once again, my own damn fault.

I know it's a long shot, and it's my own damn fault, but does there happen to be a Large (possibly XL) brown or Burgundy hiding anywhere?  I skipped buying this last year and snagged the deck coat, which is now too big on me, so I need another winter jacket… to wear under the deck jacket lol

I doubt you could wear an IHAL-01 under anything unless that thing is at least two sizes too large for you. If your deck coat really is that big, and your climate really is that cold, then I guess you could order an equivalent jacket from Simmons Bilt. That would probably be a 4-pocket Roadster with Ventile lining and a moleskin mid-layer. Putting that monstrosity under a deck coat still sounds kinda ridiculous though. The IHAL-01 isn't exactly a good layering piece.

I was more so joking. However, the IHM-10 is indeed ridiculously sized on me Now that I've lost some weight.

My intention is to sell off the Deck Jacket and slide into a leather jacket of some sort. Our climate isn't that cold but it's extremely humid, so anything under 55 degrees gets bone chilling. The Thick FQHH + Moleskin + Ventile is what has had me looking at this jacket for more than a year now and still Wanting it. Figured I'd better get it now while I'm a bit slimmer as Inspiration not to gain much back haha

Ah, good. Well, I'd recommend an XL if there's any doubt on sizing. I was tempted to go with a small based on the measurements, but I don't think I could go any smaller than my medium in this. Good luck!

Keep up posted regarding whatever you end up getting. I'm looking for a leather jacket too and we are similar sizes.

Hey G-man, do you recommend using (OR NOT USING) any particular type of leather care cream/paste/oil on this bad boy? I'm squeaking up a storm when I wear it, and I want to protect my investment. Any thoughts?

Time to revive. It was a bit of a cool, blustery day for a ride. So, I brought out the proper gear…..
