      I love the classic J100 and its heritage of 60years +, IH's take looks really great with nice options at a great price. with the goat leather you'll have a good option starting a bit "easier" to break in compared to horse or say steer like back in the days. still it take some years until it shapes and molds fully to your built.
      It was a leather shirt for the dirt racers during the 50s/60s and the riders customized their jackets with patches and paintings and the shirt evolved being padded for protection a bit later in these years.

      Cheers,
      David

            Goatskin Leather = stiff  😞  … Ähm .. what?

            You own a IHxVS Denim J. and surely some 21 / (25) oz.'s  ... Where is the problem with this piece of Leather.  🙂
            Horsehide can be a torment (my opinion) - but I never had uncomfortable times with Goat- or Steerhide Jackets (and I have/had a lot of Leather Stuff in the last 20 years) ... A few weeks / months of constant using - and all is well.

            Go @Rafa go!    😃

                Hi Giles,
                Can you please tell me the turn around for one of these in Essex? It will have to be a custom job as I'm about 48" around the chest.
                Cheers.

                  @Bunyip They're all custom made.  Normally about 3-4 weeks, but I am waiting for a delivery of Essex, so I think that'll add on another 4-5 weeks or so.

                      Unfortunately #1 did not work out for @dudewuttheheck .  So it's up for grabs at USD1,000.  XL.

                      Black goat and red Ventile…

                              Thanks, unfortunately everything is perfect apart from the sleeves that are a good inch to short for me…

                                      Has anybody got any advice/opinions on sizing for this jacket.

                                      I'm 5'8" and I was thinking of ordering in the following measurements

                                      Waist - 38 inches
                                      Chest - 41 inches
                                      Shoulders - 18.5 inches
                                      Arm -  25 inches
                                      Back - 26.6 inches

                                      The main area of concern in the back length and arm length. I've measured the back from one of my coats from where the back and the collar meet. This means the bottom would rest at the same level as the top of my jeans back pockets. Some of the pictures in this thread have them being worn about an inch longer.

                                      Any advice would be helpful

                                          Hi,

                                          Does anyone know how long it takes from order to delivery? I ordered about three weeks ago. Do I have much longer to wait? The suspense is kill me, I cannot wait until I get my jacket.
