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

[Giles]

The leather is about 1.2mm thick.

The other two questions are a little subjective.

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.

@Max:

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

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.

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.

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.

And by amazing present you think a child would count? 

[Giles]

That is what I meant….

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.

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

So I took the plunge.

Awesome pickup!

Can't wait to see how you rock it!

Thanks. I'm really looking Forward to it as the measurements suggest it could have been tailored to my measurements, at least compared to my UHF size.
