        @Anesthetist looks like a great fit. What size did you go with? I got an XXL but it’s roomier than I thought so have an XL inbound hopefully by Monday.

          Mine is an XL but I’m a large in IH for reference. It is a little snug in the arms but not uncomfortable.

              That’s interesting since I’m usually an XL or XXL in IH in order to fit the shoulders/chest. Sounds like you had to size up for the Sky Valley to fit stuff underneath?

              The XL arrived today and it fits trim the sleeves are a bit snug but the most I’ll wear underneath is a IHT-1600 or similar. I tried it with an IHTL-1501 but the sleeves were very tight given the lining. Wouldn’t be able to comfortably squeeze a thicker shirt underneath unless I kept the XXL but it’s much too large in all other dimensions. Plus being in LA I don’t really need to get all layered up too often (and have other options if needed).

              Beautiful jacket though and I look forward to wearing the hell out of it!

                  Has anyone ordered directly from Nine Lives via their website and how was your experience?

                  I placed an order a month ago for an item they only sell direct and, despite multiple email follow-ups, have yet to receive a response. I was also charged state sales tax which implies the order would be shipping from within California or the US in general. Not too overjoyed by the customer experience to be honest when compared to their stockists like RnH and Self Edge.

                  Is there any other way to contact them? Thanks all!

                    Don't they have a phone# listed on their site? I've never ordered from them but they seem active on IG. Maybe try contacting them that way? I don't know about sales tax but if you live in California then my guess is you'd see that charge. Out of state purchases though should not be charged sales tax.

                      There is no way to contact them via the website. I also sent @tokyoGringo a PM through the forum.

                        Well the good news is that I got the package today and I love the shirt. Zero notice that it was inbound so I didn’t know it was en route. Also was shipped direct from Japan so still don’t understand why I was charged state and local sales tax on the purchase.

                        All in all, a happy ending!

                          I'm not familiar with tax laws, so I can only assume that if Nine Lives is registered as a business in the state of California and sends a package to CA residents then any business transaction is taxable. I get taxed on Amazon orders because they have a physical presence here in MN.

                            Glad the shirt worked out.  The fact it took a month with zero communication is pretty inexcusable though.  I'll probably think twice before buying 9L again.

                              @gaseousclay Good point - I did an entity search and they are setup in Cali so it appears an inbound international shipment to a consumer still requires state/local taxation.

                              Mea culpa… it appears I got the dates wrong (mixed up with a completely different order) so the total time from order to receipt was about 2 weeks so not too bad. While it's true I did not receive any comms on the shipment status, I want to be fair to the 9L team given I'm sure they may have been slammed (given the number of 9L drops at stockists in the past 2wks).

                              So please don't use my misstated experience as a detractor @BloodnThunder if you see something you like! I picked up the long-sleeve Ascension Island shirt since retailers were only carrying the short-sleeve version. The fabric is thinner than I thought it would be but the design, pattern-matching, and overall fit are all excellent.

                              UPDATE: Just received a message from Ian on this that addressed my situation and reinforced my faith in both the brand and the people behind it.

                                Thanks for clarifying @Manticore.  9L is a brand I'm a fan of so it's nice to know they got you situated.

                                  Does anyone own the Yak leather Rider and can please comment on sizing? Going by online measurements I would need an XL but from other comments I'm thinking L.

                                  Normally need outerwear with 18.5-19" shoulders and 43" chest.. thanks in advance guys

                                    ^ Paging @Danny RnH.  He's probably the best man to answer this question.

                                      @NinjaTheorist what is your weight and height? Feel free to DM me.
                                      Do you have any other references to jackets that we sell?

                                        @NinjaTheorist I'd recommend the XL. I'm usually a medium, with 18" shoulders and a 40" chest, but I wear large in Nine Lives shirts, and they're still snug in the torso. I did get a medium rider's jacket, but it's tight when zipped up. I would have gone for a large if it weren't for the extra sleeve length. Since you're larger, I think XL is the way to go.
