IHAL-J100 - Iron Heart/Alexander Leathers J100

[Chris]

Just out of curiosity, why do these two have black lining, rather than red, like the first jacket?  Just an aesthetic decision?  I prefer the red, though I concede it might be a bit much with the red leather (despite what @gbougard might think ).

The natural Essex actually has Olive Drab Ventile lining…... @Axel is taking decent pics at the mo.  I really did not want a clash of reds and so thought black was safer…...

That Essex is going to age beautifully.

Ah, now that you've told me that, I can see it's olive.  That's a good color, too.  Black linings are a bit boring, IMO.

[Giles]

^ I agree, but I thought the red goat was already unboring enough…..

Damn, Feck & Blast it…...

Natty Essex sold.  Will be stencilled before shipping with IH-j100/02

Thank you to whoever bought the natural. The voices in my head were telling me to buy it.

[Chris]

Same here.

I PM'ed Giles about it minutes before it sold.  He reassured me that I did not want to buy it.

Mine is ready to go:D

The natural is superb. They are all red hot.

[georgeel]

Black remains the best. IMHO.

Looking good.

@Giles:

That "Genuine Goatskin" badge is quite amusing. Probably the main reason @Giles kept the red jacket.

[superfuzz]

So cool!

[Dion]

Tyler Durden would grab the red one ;).

@georgeel: I have to agree with you there:)

Love the stencil. Now hurry up, UPS! Thanks so much Giles!

Look what showed up this afternoon! The leather is amazing, as soft as deerskin, and smells incredible.

6'1" 200lb in the size 42 sample.  Definitely longer than a traditional J-100 as many have stated.  For a length compare, the last pic has the bottom 1.5" or so folded up.  Shorter looks very good with only socks, but with boots the added length may be more balanced.  34" inseam - the pics make it look like 24"
