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

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.
-
Catching up here… that looks like a beautiful fit @Wlemon ! I have the SE version and it can be a bit warm for LA but, given the weather currently, it's perfect. These pics are inspiring me to wear mine out to dinner tonight now!
-
This is the SE version but no doubt they are both equally fantastic motorcycle jackets; well worth their price. I have mine since 2017. I use it on the bike for around town runs, and accepting the lack of protective inserts, I can’t imagine a better jacket for that.
I picked a size larger than the one advised by the SE salesperson in NYC because I’m used to loose jackets and always worn them this way but I now reckon he was probably right and I should’ve listened.
-
Fit check please. Thanks
-
Looks pretty tight. Don’t think you could get much more than a t-shirt under it. Do you plan on riding with it?
Thanks I plan on wearing it with a tee. No I don't ride.
-
@cooldude_abe I would size up even with a T
-
If you don't ride and only plan on a T underneath, you might be fine. Concern would be the sleeves coming up a bit short once creases set in. Sizing up may be a better option provided all the other measurements fall in line.
-
size up
-
If it's unlikely you'll zip it then it fits like a rock star. Otherwise size up. I think both are viable choices. (Get another and keep both…because why not?)
-
Thanks everyone, I will see if I can get a larger size up.
-
@cooldude_abe just from the looks I think it's spot on. Unless you want to layer a heavy shirt underneath it seems like a great fit. Also you should have some room through the zips on the side? They give a lot extra space
-
Hi it's quite comfortable with a t-shirt but I would like to be able to wear it with a hoodie. Thanks.

While visiting home and family back in July I hit up Self Edge and snagged one of these guys in 38/M. Absolutely amazing jacket!

Incredible fit! And a Monsters Bash pinball machine!! Insane dude. Is that yours?? Looks pristine!

@Giles I see early references (~2015) to this jacket being veg tanned instead of chrome tanned - was there a change made to the production process? if so, can you share why?
-
There was some false info floating around back then regarding this jacket, including that the Self Edge version had a higher quality leather. If I remember correctly, it was first listed as veg tanned and then corrected at some point to chrome tanned. Additionally, there were no references to tea core at that time.
I bought mine in 2016 and it was already listed as chrome tanned at that point.
