        Shoulder shaped wooden hangers for the leather jacket, keep it hanging at an unnatural angle and stop deep creases.

          @Kasi - To maintain the shape of a leather jacket whilst on a hanger and to prevent deep creases forming I use pipe insulation. Works a treat

            Great idea but the shoulders side a are down, suppose to be up, then again people have their options and opinions.

                      IHJ-64-BLK - Horsehide Modified Type III Jacket - Black

                      Modified Type III Jacket, made from horsehide which is chrome-tanned in Himeji, Japan. Modified with a slightly longer body than the original Levi's version, and with the addition of two external hand-warmer pockets, two internal "gun" pockets, and an olive cotton twill lining. This is seriously the nicest horsehide leather we have ever seen from any tannery anywhere.

                      S - XXXL

                      USD 1300

                      Awesome

                        Does anybody has a photo with well worn jacket?
                        With some patina… or this jacket is not showing any patina at all?

                            I was curious how this leather will age:
                            will it be less shiny?
                            or will it show some colors of the core?

                                          @den1mhead Good eye!

                                          I was gonna try to get by with just saying the jacket evo is the result of abuse. Of course there's more to it than that but I am reluctant to reveal what happened to this jacket and also one of my brown versions of the IHJ-64.

                                          Iron Heart purists and those easily offended please look away now! Spoilers and stories of abuse ahead!

                                          At first I liked the fit but then later decided they were slightly large and a bit poofy in places.

                                          After some research, I experimented on the two jackets by soaking them in water for over an hour submerged,  and then dried them partially in the clothes drier. Also did my XXXL brown version… Took them out while still wet and wore them dry. BUT I may have overcooked them a little. Haha. But, it made them fit better. Wanted to shrink them a little. The brown did... A lot! The black maybe a little. The result is they both fit much better. Especially wearing them as they dry works wonders for the fit.

                                          I used Mr. Leather spray all over them as they were drying to try to re-hydrate the leather.

                                          They also look old and well worn now. Distressed. That's the term I should use, not abused. A side effect I welcomed as it's awesome to have a couple distressed IH IHJ-64 leathers! This jacket fits perfect now and is an absolute favorite. Just perfection.

                                            @daltmeyer thank you for the photos, this is exactly what I wanted to see…  😎
                                            looks like the leather is evolving very fast(also according to other pictures on the forum) and black color is pilling out quite easily.

                                            now I will try to understand if it is something that I would like to have...  :-\
