IHJ-35-BLK - Japanese Horsehide Rider’s Jacket - Black (Tea-Core Dyed)

[Red Devil]

So…

[Red Devil]

Please let me know what you think about this.
The leather is fantastic, so there is definitely room to be creative

[tmg]

Think that'll look amazing once it breaks in!

[Red Devil]

Here are more pics to see the fit, hope I'm not killing this thread with too many pics

I got this to try on, I am actually very interested in the Turquoise one… Although this black really looks very good!

I'm no expert in leather jackets but think it looks rather big in the body, shoulder and the arms are pretty long.Might just be the stiffness of an unbroken leather but I'd like to see it sized down one.

Update.  The black version of this jacket is chrome tanned not veg tanned as I had heard (in a lost for translation moment)…..Still some of the nicest horsehide I have seen - period.

Yes, I am thinking I need to try one size lower to see how it fits, thanks

I'll second that the leather looks amazing when you have it in hand

Me too. Size down one, will be perfect!
Superb Jacket, nothing to say.

This looks like a very beautiful jacket.  I have one very much like this from Flat Head and love it.  I also have a Simmons Bilt from IH and it is a proper MC jacket with an amazing fit.  Had a custom built.

I'll be keeping my eye on this for colors and custom fits.  Nice work IH on picking such a beautiful leather and zippers.  The zippers look awesome and functional!

MC stands for?
Sorry new to these acronyms 

The zippers are huge and don't look as they'd ever break

Thanks!
Sometimes you have to look for the simplest ones

Red Devil - did you grab that XL, or waiting to see turquoise in the flesh?

I am definitely copping this jacket but must wait until the I can order with longer sleeves…

[kr3ll]

Sorry Red Devil.  I hate acronyms.  Don't know why I used one

Will be most likely waiting for the XL in turquoise so I can see how it looks at hand. It wasn't my initial colour of choice, but I kept going back to this thread to check the picture
If that happens, you need to pay attention, plus I think it can be a very versatile colour

@kr3ll: no worries, need to learn the acronyms in any case

[Joule]

Or doing this during conference calls?
