Ok… Here we go, this about the best I can do right now... When I'm relaxed the sleeves still sit about 1/2" lower but its so stiff in the shoulder area right now any moving (even just bending my arm up to take the pic) changes the fit and boosts the jacket up off my shoulders... Needs breaking in obviously; however after about 20 pics these were the best to show the approximate length and this is with a couple layers on as I wanted to make sure that was possible as well. I'm personally very happy with the fit. Could they be longer?? Of course, but also feel like this is more of a traditional fit which is how I like it.
Thanks for all the comments guys I'm really stoked in this beauty!!! Will hopefully become a family heirloom! Details of the jacket to follow this evening when I have more time

Love it! Gotta get me one. Probably next year. Kiya, open another store and have a sale!
-
Looks dope dude. I also think the haircut looks good too!
Thanks on both accounts Ben!

It is a tagged 42.

Wow…..that jacket was made for you. Seeing it on self edge I always thought "who the fuck is going to wear this?" but you totally changed my mind. Also, I think shorter sleeves look really cool so that's a + from me. Enjoy this thing, you wear it very well!
The Heron is in my long term plans. I just need to get one direct from Himel because I'm not a camo guy. Other than that, the Heron is my dream jacket...
-
I would like a heron in the future as well but will proly wait until next year and have himel do it himself as well as I don't believe the SE OTR measurements in that particular jacket will work for me

If you haven't been on himels page lately and looking for a beautiful studded belt, look now… One of these may be in my near future

Warning, chrome tanned lovers may not appreciate this, or it may cause you to reconsider your allegiance.
here is a glimpse at how the veg tanned semi aniline dyed Shinki HH patinas…. this is going to be a very interesting jacket to watch over time. enjoy
-
Wait a minute, will the heron look like that eventually as well?
-
if it is the same semianiline wax dyed hh it will.
**just looked at the one on SE, which does not use the wax surface dye so I do not believe it will have the same type of patina, but it still is a semi an. dye
-
Yeah I would imagine that the wax exacerbates that evo. This makes the decision harder, I like more subtle patina in my clothes….
-
Indeed it is, most the Evo has occurred where my back pack rubs , snd since I where it a good portion of the day 5 days a week there you have it… The elbows are probably my favorite as they are really coming in nice.
GMB- I hear ya, it's a bit more specific to jackets of this type. If you look up old j100 or any old bucks for that matter you will see similar Evo though I agree it is not for every type if leather jacket. I think it would look almost silly on a heron but just my 2cents
