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

[Seul]

Sick looking jacket - even on a Padmore…

What size are you wearing Alex? Looks great!

XXL @Signal11 & thank you

A better representation of the shine of the leather.

Great shots @Sam - they capture the look much better IMO. This beauty has supplanted all others as my go-to leather jacket.

@Dion:

Not a cool move trying to make a sale with such a bold claim at the expense of the original IH product.

I would like to think that he was repeating information he obtained from someone else and not trying to directly swindle me.  But I didn't need a sales pitch since I had already made up my mind to buy the jacket before I entered the store and wanted to try in on in person to make sure it fit.

Now I'm interested in having more information regarding the leather.  The IH website simply says "Chrome tanned horsehide from a tiny tannery in Himeji".

We're simple people…..

Or as Alex just suggested.  Why don't you ask that guy, he obviously knows more about the leather than we do......

I would, but I can't remember which one it was.  Of course, I would never forget who it was if you told me something  :-*.

Quick pics of this great jacket!

Same outfit as @Alex I think. 666D and 1600.

Thanks all. I was surprised myself about how well size L fitted. 

@manufc10  measurements table and pictures of Sam with this jacket. He is about the same size as I am, only my chest size is bigger. I was a little worried about that. I knew it would be a snug fit, maybe too snug… But it turned out quite well.
Size XL was too large.

Thanks… So did size up/down/same as your normal IH shirt size?  Sorry, should have been more clear in my question.

Jacket looks amazing on you.

[Signal11]

Most of my shirts are size L, so same.

Just bought the SE version of this jacket and absolutely love it.  I have a question about leather care, though.  I know Aero say to do nothing at all with their horsehide jackets – no conditioner, no babying, just wear them hard.  Is the same true for this jacket?  If not, anything I should be doing now or in the future to take care of my investment?  Thanks!

I can't stop looking at this jacket right now

[Giles]

Heads up - after 12 years of pretty static prices and in fact a couple of price reductions, we are having to increase the price of many of our items.  We'll be doing this late July.  This jacket is one of the items that will be affected

[Max Power]

You're doing that on purpose right? Looking at the measurements I know I would love that jacket.
