IHAL-J100 - Iron Heart/Alexander Leathers J100

[davito]

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.

@Giles:

And if you find that goat I sent you too stiff, then I'm going to start calling you @Rafaela

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!

Thanks for the info about the horsehide, G!

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.

[Giles]

@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.

Thanks mate

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

Black goat and red Ventile…

Damn! - this measurements would be perfect … the colour also  ::)  .....

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.

[Giles]

Normally about 3 weeks.  I will chase in the morning…..
