IHSB-BB-NAT - Natural Horsehide Jacket - The Bareback

I think that looks like the correct size. I think if you sized up the shoulders will be too dropped and your sleeves maybe a shade long @Link-Of-Time

[Matt]

I think it looks good as well. The stiffness of that leather when new also makes it feel smaller than it actually is. I also think it would look better with just a tee. Strictly my personal opinion though.

[Link-Of-Time]

@Alex I'm still up in the air on it. I recently got back into powerlifting after a couple years so my concern is it becoming too tight over time. I'll think on it for the next few days!

You’ll probably be happy with either size. Maybe look at photos in clutch magazine or something similar to have a more confident sense of how you want it to look.

@Link-Of-Time THIS! Going thru this now. What an ironic consequence of trying to better yourself, right? It requires a brand new wardrobe. Even the slightest bit of gains, and the re-apportionment of muscle and fat throws EVERYTHING off. I suppose it’s a good problem to have, but catastrophic for my bank account.

Beautiful Jacket!

I used Obenaufs oil…

Did you use the standard oil or the LP? Curious if it's the former if you dabbed it on with a rag or something, seems like it'd be tough with the little swab. I find that thing tedious / hard to control but frankly I only really use it on leather patches so I just deal with it. I imagine you did something different on such a huge area but whatever the case, I'd love to know the details.

Fantastic looking Jacket, first i was a little off put because of the color but seeing how many of you look great in it and seeing outdoor pictures things changed.

Very nice and very outstanding.

I just picked one up but sadly it's gonna have to go back, XL too snug in the shoulders for me. Wonder how an XXL would be (whenever they're in stock, SB behind on orders iirc) — everywhere else fits me well but arms pretty immobilized.

@popvulture
You send it back?

[Kfactor]

Will there be more of these soon? I need an xl

[popvulture]

@Kfactor yep it's back in Gosport unless someone else bought it already

[Kfactor]

Oooh. Hopefully someone will chime in

Then you @popvulture

[endo]

how it evolves: September 2022 in Gosport and now

@endo
Awesome , did you use any care ?

[endo]

two treatments with mustang paste (plus a lot of sun)

[popvulture]

Looks so good, man!

I still want one of these, bummed that the XL ended up being so tight on me. What size did you get, @endo ? Definitely will be checking the measurements if these come around again — I guess could be the first thing I buy an XXL in.

[endo]

thanks @popvulture this is an XXL, I was fortunate to be able to try it on at the anni party in Gosport, and it just fitted. actually didn't plan to buy a leather jacket, but with the party discount and this wonderful material it was an easy decision

[popvulture]

Right on! Looks like a perfect fit on you. I'll definitely keep my eyes peeled for a restock of these — I love aging veg-tan leather.
