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

I can't stop looking at this jacket right now

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

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

Didn't you have to raise prices after the spike in cotton prices in 2011?  I think silver spiked around the same time.  I guess the reductions undid those increases though.

If we did, I forgot….....

Yep, I can give you heads up and tell you that you have until last July to buy at this price.  Or I don't and then you risk paying more for the same thing…

How heavy and warm would you rate this leather and how soft do you think i can get?

[Giles]

The leather is about 1.2mm thick.

The other two questions are a little subjective.

[Max Power]

Thanks. Yes, that's true. I figure it's not as heavy as FQHH, just thinking weather it will be a jacket for moderate temperatures (October) or rather cold months. It's really tempting.

It's not very warm.  It's thin leather and a thin lining.  I would wear it between 7 and 20 deg, with a thicker base layer when cold and t shirt when warm.

[Max Power]

You're pushing it eh? 

Seriously, thank you. Do you own one personally?

It's not stiff like a FQHH Aero jacket.  But it's not soft like goat skin either.  It hasn't softened up too much in the 1.5 years I've had it.

I have the Self Edge version.  You even commented on one of the pics I posted

[Max Power]

Ah, I'm getting old obviously. Thanks a lot for the replies. I actually could use a jacket in that temperature range. But how to tell the wife? I need a strategy here…and might have to sell some items.

"Hey, look what I've bought.  I thought I owed it to myself after the AMAZING present I gave you recently.
I think you'd agree, that it is more than fair"…...

[Max Power]

And by amazing present you think a child would count? 

[Giles]

That is what I meant….

[Signal11]

I agree with the 7 to 20 deg.
Below 7 the N1 and above 20 no jacket.
It is a great jacket. You won't regret it if you play your cards right.

[Max Power]

Thanks for the Affirmation. Just Need somebody to buy my stuff in the sales thread then.
