Absolutely Giles. It is just incredible. I am proud to wear it and feel lucky to have it!
This was my first wear. I just had to get some photos before I took it off.

Looks great @daltmeyer
Thinking to getting a XL Black for myself.
How SM did you Size compared to your IHSB-WJ -
Thank you kindly @thomas01
I went with a 3X in the IHJ-64. I have 21oz super black denim type 3 IH-9526PJ that fits just how I like except would like longer arms. The 3X measurements of these two jackets are a spot on match except the 64 has the longer arms(Edit*- The 64 also has about one inch more in both waist and hem. I use the waist cinches to snug it up).
Possibly could've sized down to get the more fashionable looking slim fit but maybe then would have a hard time buttoning up. It's not real easy to button already. I'm very pleased with my choice.
As for the IHSB-WJ I actually have 2 of them. A L and an XL. I like the XL fit the best and use the L for times when just an undershirt or other short sleeve lighter shirt is being worn. The measurements are deceiving on this jacket in comparison to my other IH jackets. The shoulder and P2P measurements of the XL IHSB-WJ are larger than the measurements of my 3X IHJ-64 and yet it fits more snug. Probably due to leather thickness or arm hole measurements differences or just the different cut.
I would dare say size up from your usual IH jacket measurements on this one. Even for those who like a snug, slim fit. Or if You already own the IHSB-WJ, then size down for 64.
I like a little room to wear a UHF or 18oz denim shirt under my jackets and and generally comfortable unrestricted movement in my fits.
Hope it helps!

@daltmeyer Thanks a lot!
That are exactly my feelings. I also have a IH-9526PJ wich fits very comfortable over a uhf or hoody. So I would go for the same in the the IhJ-64.

Glad to help @thomas01 but I just reread my post and it gave me a migraine. Haha.

I thought it interesting enough to photograph and share the front placket. Both front packets look doubled up. So there's 4 layers of horse hide on each placket so that's 8 layers thick on the front placket when buttoned up!
I think it's a great example of the Iron Heart saying: Over engineered is our starting point.
