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

[Dstauffer]

Thanks for all the feedback fellas. I just re-checked the product measurements and it looks like the newest run of the IH version (I think it was released in March) has slightly longer arms. Previously the IH XXL was at like 26.5(ish) for arms and now its at 27. The SE XXL version is listed at 27.5 for arms. The brown version of this that I own has 27.5 arms, which I find to be perfect given my gorilla arms.

All that being said, I am a huge fan of the pockets on the SE version as well.

Appreciate all the feedback on this. Many thanks!

The basic body shape of the 2 versions should be the same.  If one is longer that the other it is either unintentional or they have been measured differently.

[Dstauffer]

I am thinking it's the latter of the two. I have taken evil twins advice and have asked for specific measurements for both. Trying to get the same fit I got with the IHJ 54, which is spot on

@Giles:

WTF

High school buddy is big a Billy Idol fan and bought a VIP package for his concert in Las Vegas, including this 'meet and great' photo op before the show.  I specifically wore the IHJ-35 to the show (on an 80 degree day) to post the resulting pic in this thread.  You're welcome… 

edit:  G, I had planned it as a joke for the forum, but the pic actually turned out great.

Fits great @Dstauffer !

I spy a Saddleback product on the lower hook…?

[Dstauffer]

Sharp eyes!

That is their messenger bag and I use it for work EDC and I absolutely love it!

[Manticore]

I have one of those myself. Used it for work for a bit but then transitioned it to wine transport duty. Fits three bottles perfectly.

They are not made to measure.  And if H thought that was functionally important, they would all have a one piece back, he always puts function over form…

A bit of nice weather meant i could get out and shoot this stunner of a jacket!

[Manticore]

Great shot @Sam ! Still ridiculously warm in LA but plan to break this one out this weekend regardless.

Excellent photo @Sam . Everything is perfect.

Just had a look at the Boss' blog: is a cowhide edition coming?

[Giles]

I hope so…..
