IHJ-79-BLK - Primaloft® Gold Quilted Riders Jacket - Black
-
I would say I'm going to buy one, but it's getting pretty close in price to the N1 I lust after, and i still haven't crossed that off the wish list.
I would love this for a start to winter jacket.
Do you own anything with the Primaloft in it? I have the CPO shacket and it is WARM! Like warm warm. If I wear it under my m65 I can take whatever our horrible upper midwest winters throw at us. Just saying… But I too have either an N-1 or one of those B-2 (oh no i just checked the outlet and they are gone!!! :'() on my list...
-
…But I could pop this in the wash now and it would come out looking brand new - it's amazing...
I read you machine wash your IHJ-38 at 30 or 40C.
Could you tell what spin cycle, if any? -
Thanks G.
I was thinking the wool/hand wash program (30C) since the label says hand wash.
The program has default 800rpm spin cycle, so should be okay.Btw, as stated many times before by others, it is an amazing jacket!

Back from a 10 day, 3000 km motorcycle trip in the mountains. Wore my 79 layered under a mesh jacket whenever temps dropped under 16 deg C. What a great looking, versatile and warm item it is!
Wish my home town weather would let me wear it more.
There is a super cool sticker somewhere in that image. -
This jacket is a jewel for motorcyclists:
- very wind resistant and warm under a motorbike jacket
- packs small and light (+ no wrinkles)
- thin & slippery so won’t bulk up at the arms, armpits nor chest while putting on your outer jacket
- looks GOOD on its own when you are off the bike without your outer jacket
Don’t hesitate…only downside is it makes me wish I lived somewhere cooler/colder!

I think this jacket would be damn nice and even more functional with a zippered pocket in collar that contains a hood just like the M-65 jackets.

@cityofdelusion I have some jackets with thin zip in hoods and rarely use them (I also understand that you didn't ask for my opinion on the idea). It does add some nice rigidity to the collar though.
On this topic, when Haraki debuted the FW/21 collection on Intagram in Japan, he showed an IHJ-79 with a hood. I asked @Giles about it and he said that they didn't bring it over here because they never got to get their hands on a sample before they ordered their collection. I think it was called the IHJ-102 or similar. I've tried to track down more info on it with no luck.

@jordanscollected Better to have something you may need one day than not to have it
I think this way, both customers that want a hood and that don't want one would be satisfied. It benefits both parties rather than just one (as it is right now). For me, it's only intuitive that a water-resistant functional (and light) jacket like the IHJ-79 should have a hood. But of course I respect your view on this.Regarding the new iteration of this jacket with the hood: I'm so excited about hearing this! Thank you for letting me know
I hope we can see more very soon, this is great news @GilesEdit: Are we talking about the IHJ-79 with a hood or a hood hidden in the collar? I was referring to the latter.

It isn’t if you’re riding a motorcycle.

@neph93 I was referring to my idea of having a hood hidden in the collar like the IH M-65 jackets. Don't want to create a large discussion here but: By that logic, if you're riding a motorcycle, you don't need the hood on the M-65 jackets, the IHJ-75 or IHJ-100 (?)
If you're riding a motorcycle and it bothers you, simply don't take out the hidden hood.
I understand that IH makes products for bikers. Then you simply don't use the hood if you're riding. And when you're not and you need a hood, you can consider yourself lucky that your jacket has one hidden in the hood. Intuitive, if we're talking about a functional jacket imo.
PS: Edited the message to express myself better.

IHJ-79-BLK is my most worn IH piece. If I want a hood, I'll wear a hat or something with a hood.
Exactly. So: If you want to wear something with a hood, how about the IHJ-79 with a (hidden) hood?
