    We did not take many because our technical stuff just does not sell very well. There may be a few more arriving in about 10 days if Haraki allows us to steal some of his…....

      @Giles:

      …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?

        Whatever the machine spins at on those temp cycles.  Probably pretty fast.

          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.

            The journey is the objective.

                  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 @Giles

                          Edit: 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?

                                    This is explicitly a riders jacket, the M65 is not.  I don’t disagree that functionality would be increased for the casual wearer, but if you are going to design a jacket that should act as an insulating layer, under leathers, for a rider, this is it, and a hood is superfluous to that design.

                                      If it had a hidden hood it would not be my most worn piece. I don't need the shag and hassle and compromise.  You want one, I don't.

                                      Personally, I think the hidden hood in the M65 is a complete waste of time.  Obviously, lots of people don't.

                                      The thing is that we all want different stuff from our stuff.  If we all wanted the same shit, life would be very boring….

                                        Fully agree with @neph93 on this point…for a motorcyclist, a collar made thicker by a rolled up hood will never be as comfortable under a full face helmet as a thin, windproof collar which slides easily under the helmet. The reason I say this is a dream ‘motorcycle inner layer. Haraki san absolutely nailed this one perfectly for the motorcycle riders!

                                          The example I gave with the M-65 was to underline the fact that IH does not only make jackets for riders. This is evident, since jackets like the M65, if not for riders, are meant for casual wearers. Thus, this means that IH does indeed make jackets for casual wearers. If so, the IHJ-79 can be designed both for riders and for casual wearers only by adding a hidden hood. Win-Win.

                                          Regarding the argument of a hood beeing superflous: I don't ride so I wouldn't know but let's assume that when you're riding you don't use the hood. But if you are not riding (since you wouldn't always be riding to everywhere at all times I assume) and it rains, the "superflous" hood could come in handy. And if it doesn't; tuck it back in.
