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

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

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

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

                  Has anybody by any chance ever treated this leather in an attempt to make it less shiny? From what I’ve gathered seeing people’s extended wear pics, the shine really tends to stick around. I wouldn’t mind if mine were a bit more matte, so I’m wondering if there’s any way to knock that down a bit.

                    @popvulture I really like the tea-core black but it does look a bit shiny for my taste. If I had one, I'd be looking to do the same. I'd be a bit worried about using products that would dry it out bad. The deglazer I used on my wallet, for example, does dry out the leather and makes it look a bit parched. Nothing a little buff with some leather balm can't fix but it'd be a lot of work on a jacket. Maybe something a little more mild at first like a soapy wet washcloth? If you used something mildly abrasive you'd probably end up with a bit of fauxtina. Just spitballin here....you could always roll around in the mud or gravel.

                      @WhiskeySandwich thank you my dude! I thought your leather skills would def come in handy here. I read some stuff about deglazing online — some people online said with alcohol — but that sorta felt like too much of a big move, and I’m not sure I’d wanna push it that far. The soap and water thing does seem like a great way to just dull any shiny topcoat. I’m gonna try that! I’ve been just throwing it around and being fairly careless with it, but short of dragging it through gravel I think it’s gonna stay shiny as-is.

                        @popvulture I am by no means skilled in leather, but I dabble and experiment bit. I think the trick here would be to alter the surface texture of it by ever so slightly abrading it, rather than taking chemicals or anything to it, for sure. Good luck and be sure to show us how it goes!

                          Wiped it down with a little bit of Dawn and water, let it sit for a sec then used just water to wipe it down again. It’s hanging up in the sun. Still shiny, but I definitely think this took it down at least a notch or two.

                            @popvulture i'm interested in how things go. Def better to incrementally adjust than to just hit it with some rubbing compound on an orbital 😉

                              If UH flannels fit me well in a large, should I go with a large in this jacket? Thanks

                                  @Neru-6 you might want to check out the parallel thread for the 54 here. If you need more pics I’m sure @weftyarn would be happy to oblige 🙂

                                      @weftyarn thank you mate. How have you size this jacket ?

                                      I checked the chart, and seems like I should take an XL (usually wear XL in Western UHF).

                                        been wearing my horse a lot too and noticed a week or two back the first bit of tea core is showing through on the pocket. Likely a result of the cuff zips scuffing up the surface. Been treating it generally without regard or rather no different than a denim jacket. This is my first leather jacket and first tea core anything, but it seems like it's gonna take a lot of wear to get more character.

                                        For sizing, I had a little trouble getting it right. I'm mostly a solid XL in western UHF's and went with a Large in the 54 after first getting an XL. The opening/waist and lengths were the deciding factors for me. (5'10 and 175)

                                          I went for XXL in the 54 (same as my typical UHF western shirt size).

                                          I could have downsized to XL, but that would have been on the short side for my long torso. Also I love that I’m now able to layer the horse over the 14Oz hoodie or a Waffle + UHF.

                                          Best bet is always to go by the measurement charts paired with how you want to wear it. 🙂

                                          Use it or lose it.

                                            Hello, new around and wanted to ask a specific question.

                                            Waldes vs YKK zips on a jacket like this one….does this come down to simply YKK was put on for the North American market and Waldes for everywhere else, or how does that work with Iron Heart? Is one more coveted than the other?

                                            Thanks!
