Those XXL measurements are looking pretty much perfect! Are the "Opening" measurements zipped or unzipped?

[Giles]

Ah, sorry.  Let me sort that out tomorrow, we should have both like with the IHJ-35….

So its on line now and temptation is a Cruel Mistress.
I am really happy with the other Iron Heart leather jackets that I've got so buying this one seems like a good idea.
Normal high-speed Gosport service means it hits Europe tomorrow.
Looking forward to the inbound Jacket!

[Broark]

Wow, this really came out great.
I think this will be my first leather jacket. Just need some time to save money and practice self-control.
It's hard when all this great stuff keeps coming out. Damn you stubborn crew!

It's glorious! I also really like that the side zips were retained alongside the handwarmer pockets.

[superfuzz]

Stupid question, but what do the side zips do?

[Giles]

Sam says "they're for releasing your parachute", but the real reason is to allow you to flare the botton of the jacket out if you need to when on a bike…..

Ordered the Jacket yesterday lunchtime. It arrived in Europe today at 8:45am, its unpacked and I am wearing it for todays meetings.

Its a Fantastic jacket and quite different from the black version as it has hand pockets and a collar.

Seems to be 'The Normal' Iron Heart quality with a leather that is really on a different level and a zip that looks and feels like it will last forever. Classic cut and style means its going to be a great long term addition to my everyday wear wardrobe.

I’m a fan of these jackets and have a few of them now. They are not cheap that is for certain, but value for money wise they are exceptional. They exude style and quality. I personally feel that they are at a different level to any other jacket at this price point as an overall package. I think a lot is personal preference at this level however.

The colour is a personal thing and I really like black jackets as a rule. This brown is great though and I am certain that it will bed in and age in a lovely way. More so than my normal black jackets do.

Great comparison shots and review, Tempvs! Thanks for sharing!

[Dstauffer]

Mine is scheduled to be here tomorrow.

The body length may be a bit to short, but I am crossing my fingers that it falls within the threshold of acceptable length as I love everything about this jacket and have been searching for years for leather jacket such as this.

Tomorrow has the potential to be life changing or devastating (did I mention First World Problems?)…

[Manticore]

Great comparison @Tempvs ! I'm also normally a black leather-only guy but that brown really does look tempting.

Nice Dark Side of the Moon also!
