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

[weftyarn]

There’s one of these in „as new“ condition on German eBay for only 950€, if someone is interested.
If only it was my size

It’s a 40 (L?)

Well, I got mine today, or actually the second one… originally got it in L thinking I could pull it off, but I basically would have had no wiggle room if I put on any kind of weight, and well… I'm getting older, so dadbod is real, actual dad or not

XL fits like a dream, though. What a beautiful jacket, will post some pics when I can — thanks @Max Power and @Chap for giving me a little back n' forth on size questions

[Max Power]

Happy to hear that @popvulture

Can I please have some feedback on the fit here? Thanks guys.

[goosehd]

It looks big to me…

[Giles]

What's it like with the side gussets zippered?

[jeffrx]

@Giles it’s not bad with the side zippers done, snug but do-able. My main concern is the arm length seems just a bit long, but as others have said it might improve a little with creasing. There’s no way I could size down due to my dad bod.

[Giles]

Without meaning to be rude, that is what I am thinking. As you say, the arms will improve with creasing, but they are pretty long. Probably perfect on a bike....but......

[jeffrx]

Thanks!

[nilsson]

Yet another fit pic type of question. First impression is that it's bit too roomy at least with only t-shirt. On the other hand I'm afraid I can't loose any sleeve length as I planned to use it for riding also.

All feedback is welcome!

[Nik]

Looks great maybe a bit long in body, how does it feel sitting down?

[DrPat]

Shoulders, length, and sleeves, and waist look perfect.

I don’t think the chest looks too big either.

[nilsson]

Thanks, it feels a bit long when sitting but opening side gussets help. I'll have to try it on with more than just a t-shirt also but in picture there seems to be quite much room in the back.

[Dmart]

The arms look good to me, especially riding. Shoulders could be a bit narrower, body a bit shorter and more trim. It depends however how you like to wear it. I like them rather snug.

Holy cow! This jacket is incredible. Bought the SE version, and my mind is blown. That flannel liner is so sweet.

[louisbosco]

has it ever been asked why this jacket doesn't have zippered side pockets compared to the one with collar?

[Giles]

Because I designed the IHJ-54 (one with pockets), and I like pockets....

[louisbosco]

zipped pockets are brilliant for riding. maybe you could convince Haraki that this pair may be in need of pockets
