Could you explain what pushes up the cost of this jacket, especially for a steer-hide jacket, which are usually cheaper than those from horse-hide. Are the perforations extremely labor intensive? Is the leather treated in a special way to qualify it as a technical jacket?

Dream of a jacket.
Wow! -
This is rad.
Looks like the varsity version of a Dainese jacket that I own, minus the armour.

We are dumping the gallery.
We have made some performance improvements to the website, so we can load more images without screwing up load-times. This allows us not to bother with the extra hassle of loading everything up to the gallery. Plus, it is not particularly good practice to take customers/browser to external domains.
We asked forum members whether they used the gallery or not recently, the responsed was deafeningly luke-warm.
We used to have between 12 and 16 images on each product page and a link to the gallery. Now we will put as many images as we feel necessary on the web page. In the case of this jacket, there are 24 images on the product page, if we had loaded them to the gallery, there would still only be 24 images….

Fair enough. I was hoping to see a couple more fit pics on others, particularly those with a smaller frame than the model pictured. No stress though.
You are always welcome to tag a staff memeber asking to see a fit pic of them in any item we have to help you gauge sizing, you've just got to ask.

It's well overpriced. That's it.

Please elaborate.

I'd rather not. To each his own. Its business after all. I stick to Denim when it comes to Iron Heart.
-
So if it is each to his own, why are you being judgmental?
The vast majority of the population would say our denim is overpriced, but you are happy to buy that.
I truly believe in to each his own, so will not comment on peoples looks, style or what they like spending their money on, it's their businees, not mine.
I'd happily spend $1,000 on a fishing rod, but anything over 10 cents for a golf bat would be money wasted. Oh, and why spend $1,000 on a fishing rod when you can buy one from Asda for £10?

We make less margin on the IHJ-94 than we do on a pair of jeans, and I do not mean that to say we overprice our jeans either. We don't overinflate prices, we sell things at a fair price to turn a profit becasue we are a business. Our margin, and Haraki's margin is far lower than the norm for retail, we price things fairly, they just happen to cost a lot to make.
