I've spent two years asking 1,000 questions about leather jackets, but here is one I have never asked…

How "warm" is this one? the weather around me is very weird. It never gets super cold, but high humidity makes even moderate temperatures seem frigid. Example - I can be wearing a 6.5oz Tee + UHF + UHR and boots in 55F degree weather and shivering because of the damp air. However, the Whipcord N1 felt like a sauna even at 30 degrees.

Is this leather something that will keep out the wind + retain heat, all without making me boil with a flannel on?

Sorry to ask a dumb question, but this thread did need some reviving lol

[Giles]

Mine is warm, but not as warm as an N1…

Is this leather something that will keep out the wind + retain heat YES
all without making me boil with a flannel on? DUNNO

Thanks Giles - that what I was expecting, but having never owned anything leather (other than boots), I didn’t know the real answer

I wear mine from fall through late spring and I have never had an issue with keeping warm…I'm in Michigan and we can definitely get some cold, snowy/wet weather up here.

I realize some prefer with just a tshirt, but I like mine with a UHF under and or a hoodie.

In the winter, I do sometimes throw a thick vest over top and that gives me some extra warmth if needed during the coldest months.

Sweet!  Thanks guys!

Can anyone ( @Giles ? ) speak to how the horsehide on this and the IHJ-35 compares to the horsehide used on the arms of the IHW-11. I don't know enough about leather in general or horsehide in particular to envisage how this jacket looks and feels in the flesh (so to speak) and need some reference points… (asking for a friend  ::) )

[Giles]

@Sam Please can you take a look for @neph93 's "friend"

The main difference for me is the suppleness of the leather on the varsity. They feel about the same thickness (which they probably are) and all three of the leathers have a nice healthy shine to them but the horsehide on the IHJ-35 and the 54 have that "never been worn" stiffness. Whereas the varsity leather has a worn-in feel whilst still looking brand new.

Hope that makes sense… @neph93
