        This is an absolute STUNNING jacket! Every detail is done perfectly.

        I must ask(if anyone knows), is there a term for the process of what they did with the leather? Chromed, chrome taken off then veg tanned? I never heard of this done and I am intrigued! Purpose of doing this? Have the look of a chrome leather but a lot softer?

        Wish I could add this to my collection, but absolutely no way for me.

        Enjoy to the lucky ones!

          Damn, this is definitely a 'grail' jacket. Would love to own one.

            Could we see a  picture of  Sam with  the mouton collar (which I love) off?  I am interested in how it would look for summer wear too.

              There's loads of images in the gallery, there is a link to the gallery from all new and a lot of old product pages.

              The link looks like this:

                  I put this image on our instagram and it's caused a bit of "fuss" with the folks on there.

                  I couldn't resist and had to have a butchers. Just written the longest comment ever on instagram in defence of IH pricing (it's actually more like me calling some guy a bellend in a more or less passive/aggressive fashion).

                            You're probably right but I just couldn't let it go  😉

                            Your continued wonderful service is appreciation enough  😘 . As far as more babies are concerned, upon receiving news of the forthcoming arrival I gave my wife a hug and a smile and got in touch with the nearest private clinic. If they don't book me in soon I'm going out to the shed with two bricks and a mallet  😞

                              Been looking forward to this arriving.
                              Where do I start?
                              The leather is off the scale in terms of quality and feel.The finish is perfect and really takes Iron heart to the top of the tree for this kind of jacket. The zip is the same quality and looks like it will last forever plus a few extra years for good luck!
                              For me one of the best things is that its ready to wear and needs zero breaking in which is a massive bonus. The leather is supple.
                              Its clever that the belt is made from a different leather. This means it will last as long as the jacket its self and not stretch.
                              The price of this jacket makes it one of the highest value items for the brand. I use the term high value but not expensive.
                              This  jacket is going to be worn on a daily basis as my winter wear and will last for years. I think it will age really well and the style means it will always be a bit of a classic. So on that basis its going to be value for money. Its not item an to leave in the wardrobe.
                              It needs wearing and more importantly enjoying.

                              I am not strange. I'm just not normal!
