@UnTucked:

Have you seen the green moose hide pea coat he made a few years back?!

Damn, I don't really like pea coats, but that thing is beautiful.  I have a weakness for green leather, apparently.

I'm gonna have to find some moose hide, too…

“Iron Heart Racing Shirt”

Inspired by the new perforated IHUSA jacket, how about an unlined IHJ-35 made with the split steer from the IHJ-49.

Brass hardware, red ventile pockets.

Love that.  Anyone else?

[Appfaff]

Was looking through old Moto racing pics and saw something similar from back in the ‘40s and though how cool, usable, and perfectly iron Heart it might be.

Plus, no one else does a quality Two-Way zipper on an unlined Cafe Racer, so the fruits are ripe for the picking.

PSS . It’s a purely selfish move as a lightweight leather CR would be ideal for spring and autumn for me lol [emoji23]

The split steer looks fantastic. Pretty much anything you make from it would catch my eye. And I certainly approve of the hardware selection. Combined with a kickass pattern, what’s not to love?

[rocket]

think that would look pretty cool...

If you're looking for any more visual references to @Appfaff 's suggestion, the Schott Mission is a lightweight, unlined Café Racer. Snake Oil Provisions have better photos on their website.

Rather than having zipped pockets on the chest, it has a pair of hand warmers done as patches.

The pockets in unlined jackets can look a mess. This Himel isn't too bad, but I've seen others from him that are worse.

(I'm a bit OCD about unlined jackets. I don't have a spreadsheet, yet…)

How much lighter are unlined jackets? Are they comfortable in spring / early summer?

[UnTucked]

And a fabric version of the same thing would look great as well…

Maybe duck, or the 14oz denim?

@JDelage:

Depends on the thickness of the leather I presume. The Split Street is a “Split Hide” anyways, so it is presumably thinner than the leather used in the J-35 and J-54, but I bet it’s beefier than the thin leathers used on Schott or other jackets.

I think a Suede Cafe is an elegant offering in either the chocolate or brown. It would look great with a smart kit like the new Silk shirts or great over a T-shirt.

Plus, the addition of Zipper chest pockets would make it 1,000x more desirable than the Schott IMHO - jackets deserve pockets to create the right lines.

I am not sure if this has been mentioned on here… buttons. I love your selection but I would love to see a plan brushed brass button, small or large would be fine.

I would love to see IH make a peacoat using leather such as the Ezo Deerskin (Black or White).  Although horsehide or the suede would also be very nice.  Hmmm, chocolate suede peacoat…  Just a thought.

[Mario3309]

I would love to see the pea coat with contrast stitching. And maybe in a darker denim - double indigo would be amazing.

[JDelage]

I'd like to see (but I cannot say I would buy…) some outerwear in waxed denim.

Really nice Idea, almost bought a white Type 1 the other Day.

[Appfaff]

Thanks @Steffen - I am one of the “white jeans enthusiasts” on the forum, so I will no doubt be in the minority, but I would rock the shit out of a white Type 3, and the paraffin coating would make it pretty resistant to dirt etc

I still mourn the fact that the ivory pique type III never happened. Somewhere in the world there’s a sample of that jacket…. [emoji22]

It is on the back of one of my best friends.  A guy in his mid 70's who was on HMS Glamorgan when she took an Exocet in the Falklands.  I wore it one BBQ and Boules evening and he fell in love with it..
