IHSB-EXT-NAT - Iron Heart x Simmons Bilt Natural Horsehide Type III Jacket
-
Looking forward to a restock on this one as I’m on the hunt for a horse hide jacket (question - is ‘leather’ defined as cow skin in the garment world or is this too a leather jacket, albeit from a horse?).
I was torn between this and the pale rider but the love I have for my IHJ-86 makes me think this is the one for me. For those lucky folks that own one of these how did you size it relative to your other IH jackets? Thanks!

Leather is made from the skin of an animal. Gator, Roo, Cow, Horse, Rat - basically anything, so yes....

@Inorganic I typically wear XXL and XXXL in IH tops. I went with XXXL with my Extractor so I can layer it. The next batch might have different measurements tough so my answer may not help you.

@Giles when is the rat jacket due for release?!

Gator, Roo, Cow, Horse, Rat ....
me also curious
-
I guess I can wait for the rat leather jacket, it's waiting for this beauty to be back in stock that I'm most concerned with - any updates with this one?
-
Wondering if this release will have the adjuster tabs on the back, like a traditional type 3? Really like the idea of those.

@Oaktavia I have a jacket made with this same leather. I used his method and have had good results: http://vintageengineerboots.blogspot.com/2021/12/the-randall-jacket-by-mister-freedom.html
Curious which jacket this is?
-
I think it’s the Vanishing Point. Sold by Standard and Strange. Made by Simmons Bilt. Special order minus the hand pocket zips.
-
It’s the bareback: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/jackets/ihsb-bb-nat.html
-
I don’t know if it’s the Vanishing Point, but I do know from those old convos that it’s a Simmons Bilt in basically the same config as the Bareback, just not IH branded. Wlemon’s not on here as much these days but maybe he’ll chime in since he was tagged. IIRC @Max-Power has or had one too.

@Mizmazzle @popvulture this is my jacket bought second hand from @Wlemon years ago. I believe he bought another in a different size.

No, with leather this thick, they are just a decoration....
