              That fit looks spot on @Alex . As much as I probably won't layer under this, I would like the option.

              The XXL arrives tomorrow so will see how it compares to the XL on me.

                    Help me Obi-Wan… So the XXL arrived and I'd love some sizing feedback. The XL fit looks "cleaner" but is snug when layered and zipped. It's trimmer than my XL IHJ-35 but the look suits the jacket design IMO, especially since it would rarely (if ever) be zipped up. The XXL is roomier when layered/zipped. However I feel it looks somewhat oversized, both in the body and sleeves.

                    So... what say you all?

                    First comparison is with a 3sixteen heavyweight t-shirt only. Here is the XL:

                    And here is the XXL:

                      Second comparison is with the 3sixteen heavyweight t-shirt AND IHSH-168 White 7oz western (10oz is probably as thick as I'd go in shirts under this).

                      Here is the XL:

                        I think the XL looks way better but I prefer my jackets to be pretty fitted and I’ll deal with a bit less comfort to achieve a fitted look. I guess I’m a vain little bitch.  😃 😎

                            @Manticore, I have leathers that fit both ways. But it's the particular jacket's design that makes the difference.  This one begs for a slimmer fit, imo.  Given that it's a thick horsehide, that means it's going to be warm but it's so beautiful you don't need to take it off if you want to stay cozy.  Imagine sitting in the pub, you'll just wear the jacket with a proper tee.  So I too prefer the way the XL fits you here.  There are no bad calls here.

                              Thank you for the feedback gentlemen! I will stick with my original choice of XL.

                                @Manticore  XL looks better IMHO.

                                  does anybody use this side zippered gussets?
                                  what is their role and use case?

                                      is it widely used without motorbike? or even used at all?
                                      does anybody used it with this particular rider jacket?

                                      i would say that unzipping main zipper from the bottom is most obvious decision for me…

                                        Does it matter?  You don't have to undo the zips….And if you really don't like them, you can buy the Self Edge version that does not have them.....

                                          you are right, I am just trying to understand which version to buy  😉
                                          this or SF.

                                          to be clear, trying to guess if it matter…

                                            The gussets are valuable in my opinion though I understand the "cleaner" look idea.  I have removed the leather pulls though they would be useful with moto gloves on.  When you pull the zippers closed without the pulls, there's yet another "clean look."  I'm glad to have the IH version.
