          Hi, what's the average thickness on the leather for this jacket?  In the natural if it makes a difference.  I've seen a few people refer to it more as a shirt, I like how it looks but would want it to be 1.3mm or greater.

            I'll ask the question.  It feels like a jacket and whoever refers to it as a shirt simply has no idea what they are talking about…..And probably has not even seen/touched/wore one....It may look a bit "shirty" but it's a jacket....

              It was me referring to a leather shirt for j100s used by dirtracers back in the 50s 😉 i was not talking about the IH take being a shirt

              Cheers,

                I misunderstood then, thank you for clarifying about the shirt comment! Still interested in the thickness though, thick enough leather has saved my skin a few times in crashes so I pay attention to it.

                  Simmons Bilt tend to use 3 oz or 4 oz leather. There's about 0.4 mm to an ounce, so I'd expect somewhere between 1.2 and 1.6 mm thickness.

                      This jacket gets better every day. It is breaking in nicely.

                        I must say I have never had an item of clothing get so much attention. So many of my friends and colleagues have asked me about it and complimented it.

                        The best buy I have made in a long long time. Sad its no longer on the site

                        Finally I just want to thank Giles for the excellent customer service.

                                So I took the plunge on an IHAL-J100 and after some swapping and changing with two different size jackets I ended up settling with this one and I've got to say its a winner. Pictured alongside my Aero Leather Board Racer which is the jacket on the RHS. Apologies for poor pic quality
