                        How are you getting on with it given the lack of pockets?

                          Man. Is my love of pockets that clear on here?  😃

                          It’s not much of an issue now. I have the campus jacket, and because of the pocket placement/size I don’t use them. In a way, it has trained me to not “rely” on hand warmer pockets. Also, I like the look on this particular jacket without them. The gun pockets are nice for carrying things.

                            @Wlemon - I have had my IHJ-54 since Dec 2017 and literally unzipped the handwarmer pockets for the first time this winter.. The gun pocket is the only one you need on a leather jacket IMHO. and I'm with you.. My campus jacket pockets are unusable.

                              As much as I love pockets, I just don’t seem to use them in leather jackets. Maybe that’s because they aren’t functional or where I wear my leather jackets. I tend to wear my leather jackets when I go out or am at work, both times when I don’t have as much of a need for hand warmer pockets. I was thinking about getting the Self Edge version, but I liked the lining and silhouette of this one better.

                                I think you made the right choice. The mandarin collar + pockets throws the silhouette off for me, and the flannel lining would make it a deal breaker in my climate, and I'm guessing yours as well.

                                I would kill for an unlined version of the J-35, but that would also lose the gun pocket..

                                  Wlemon and Chap are really suited for this jacket. Looking great.

                                  I have the Self Edge edition and it's fantastic.

                                    @Appfaff you have the campus jacket, right? I almost feel like it not being lined makes it hotter. I know that's not the case, but it sure feels that way sometimes.

                                    @daltmeyer Thanks! Loving it so far.

                                      @Wlemon congrats to an awesome fit, wear it in good health!

                                      @Chap I find it difficult to compare my Schott 519, Ihj35, Flat Head DPocket, FCl Leon 2mm and the Simmons Bilt. All have a unique and different character, the leathers also are very different. For example you'd think that the (I think) drum dyed steer hide of the Schott can't compete, but when I wear it I feel like it's an awesome and well aged jacket. Actually I think that every one of the jackets feels awesome when I wear it. In terms of just the leather I would say however that out of the box the flat Head is my favorite and I think it actually is shinki. It smelled the nicest, was very smooth and shiny yet you could already tell that there is a hidden structure waiting to give a great patina. The fcl looked flat and not as interesting by far when New, but now the patina is my favorite of all them. The ihj 35 has kept a lot of the shine and feels thicker and heavier than the shinki fh which is the same weight.

                                      So you see it's hard to choose a favorite or even compare them. Regarding the weight, smell and patina I think I'd choose the flat Head or maybe a fcl 1.3mm which I don't own yet.

                                      Thx @Max Power for sharing your thoughts… I agree in every point.

                                      God has blessed you richly, so get down on your knees and thank him. Don’t forget the less fortunate or God will personally kick your ass. I’d love to do it for him, but I can’t be everywhere. Willie Nelson

                                          The pockets on the Self Egde version are very convenient for storing things when you take the jacket off.  I mostly use them for my hat and gloves.
