IH-101J - 1946 101J Riders Jacket
-
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.
-
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.
Wow!!! This is great, I love this 18 OZ, what is this size? Also like to see back side length picture
Enjoy!!! -
^was just about to ask you for pictures. Looking very forward to them.
-
Here's mine. Size XXXL

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

Here are the pre and post measurements of the sample 101J i've been wearing for a while….it's an XL.
It's just had it's first wash since the initial soak so i'll grab some more measurements and photos and add them soon.
Thanks a lot, that will be interesting and helpful!!! BTW do you find this tapering a lot, I am not that flat belly
-
It does taper but it doesn't bother me, despite my beer belly, as I rarely button it up.
-
The fit of this jacket is not for me (I have a lefty trucker), but the pics you guys have put up are great!!
-
I'm so tempted by this one…will have to try it on (XXL :()
-
@Winchy Excellent, loved all pictures, enjoy!!!
BTW what shirt is that? -
-
Awesome jacket! Did try it on yesterday and found XL too tight and XXL too loose. But I envy you you can pull it off so well.
-
Yeh that's the TWSH-08; a real favourite and the ideal weight for this time of year in the UK. I think i've had the 101J for around 6 months….give or take. If I tried to do up the buttons the fit wouldn't look too good!
