IH-101J - 1946 101J Riders Jacket

[georgeel]

I've been waiting for this for a lifetime, but now  I own too many jackets.

BUT
I might change my mind, sooner or later: it's EXTANT!

Great jacket, though! I would buy myself an M (38).

[georgeel]

To be honest, I would prefer (maybe) a label like that:

… But also the good old W has its own charm! 

[Finkster]

I'm also very satisfied about the 'extant status' of this Jacket 
There's too much other fantastic stuff in the pipeline this year.  ::)

Jacket looks awesome!! I was waiting for this one, but it ended up a lil small and a lil short and no pockets. dammit

Wow!!! Most of us think alike but this 18 OZ creating too much distraction, Monday I guess we are getting more choices, otherwise I am gonna pull it!!!

[pillowPANTS]

The 18oz is nice denim and i love the chest pockets and total design of this. Unfortunately the fit wont work.

[rohitsingh]

IMO 526L and this 101J are best jackets so far, I was looking for hand warmers otherwise this one too is hard to find !!!

This fabric definitely stretches a lot, Giles could confirm this, length is more like 1966, not that short!!!

[Giles]

It's our take on a 1946, like the IHxVS-T1-DD is our take on a Type I.  We try to make them useable today, not be a total slave to repro.

18oz stretches, but then all denim does.

I am totally with Giles & I am totally in for IH 101J, I am just waiting to check on Monday … have doubts tho, this is it, HELL YEAH!!

I'm so tempted by this jacket, but holding off until I see some fit pics from those who've bought it

[louisbosco]

here's mine.

to me this jacket is very different from a type 3 FH jacket i owned. the sleeves and cut was much fuller and i've found the sleeves length a little long for my linking. however the details are really nice, and i probably could see myself adjusting to it. mine's a size 36/S. perhaps i should've gone for the 34/XS, but the p2p was the same as the flathead i measured, so i stuck with these.

Louis…looks great...just needs breaking in a bit....love the look of the jacket. I really like the ric rac stitch down the front placket.

[louisbosco]

yeah the zigzig stitching, the buttons and the selvage line. fantastic details. though i must say, i would love additional selvage line across the sleeve, visible when you cuff. and i reckon it definitely needs breaking in, these are very stiff. havent worn a new denim jacket in awhile, so these brought me back to square one.

Wow!!! This is great, I love this 18 OZ, what is this size? Also like to see back side length picture Enjoy!!!

[Max Power]

[ROman]

[rohitsingh]

@Sam/IH:

Here's mine. Size XXXL

Wow!!! Classic!!! Thanks for the pictures!!!

[ROman]

No problem. It's a nice jacket, heavy, soft, and no struggles with the buttons.

[rohitsingh]

pretty tapering tho, very much like good old riders pretty tempting too, I am somewhere between ecto & mesomorph so not sure @Giles how about 40% father's day off just kidding!!!

My eyes on you … never know!!!
