IHJ-64-BLK - Horsehide Modified Type III Jacket - Black (Tea-Core Dyed)
-
Personally, I prefer a slightly tighter fit on a TIII, BUT 99 out of 100 people put on a bit of weight as they get older, so as a lifetime jacket, perfect.
I have a load of expensive lifetime shit I bought before I knew better, and none of it fits now - including some very expensive bespoke suits (not that I would wear them now anyway).....

@ARNC feels like that I've peaked style-wise, and that I'll never own a piece of clothing that make me feels as good as this does...
When I saw the measurements on Re-Loved product page I thought it was absolutely inch perfect for me, and wearing it out this evening confirms this
Most expensive garment I've ever purchased, but I have zero regrets.

Also, no word of a lie... Last night waiting in the queue at McDonald for some Chicken Selects, I had a girl 9 years younger than me ask me if I was French, give me her a number, and call me Daddy whilst whilst wearing this jacket.
I have never been hit on so blatantly in my entire life, and can only put it down to the undeniable sex appeal of Horsehide.
Awful picture for reference, she demanded we took one together

Got caught in heavy rain for half an hour wearing this earlier, was able to literally shake it dry when I got into the office, and absolutely no water has seeped through to the lining.
I'm completely new to leather jackets, so maybe this is normal, but I was very impressed.
Did a better job of keeping me dry than my Ventile lined IH M-65

She never text me back though,
Maybe next time, don't start your text with "Hey, it's 'Daddy' from McDonalds with the black leather".

@T4920 When my fiance was pregnant i was at a lot of crazy places at midnight for her craving haha

After 20 years of buying various jackets online and being disappointed due to short sleeves or too big in the body, I found this Horsehide trucker jacket at an Iron Heart store a few blocks away from me. They had a size 42 (XL) in stock. I assumed it would be too big in the body but it fit perfectly in both the body and sleeve length (I take a 35/36 dress shirt sleeve). I'm so glad I found this jacket and now looking for more. I'm trying to break this one in and wear it around the house each evening. Still lots of snow on the ground so I have a few months before I'll start wearing it. It's my first Iron Heart product but so far I'm really impressed.

@jdixon1974 great to hear

@jdixon1974 share some pics man

@jdixon1974 That's awesome! I have this jacket also and it is such a good leather jacket. The leather breaks in so nicely and really softens up. I've had mine for about a year now (I think) and wear it while riding my bike mostly, which has helped break it in. I really plan on wearing it a lot during the spring time this year. Enjoy it man, and we need some pictures!!

@travisxray Any chance you have tried on the split steerhide version of this jacket? According to online measurements, they should fit similar but want to make sure before I order. I never thought about using this while riding my bike (I've got an old guzzi that likes to try and light itself on fire a few times a year) but it would be a good way to break it in on a warm day.
-
@jdixon1974 I have not tried the split steerhide version, however, if the measurements are about the same I'd assume the fit would be pretty close.
glad you're enjoying the jacket mate
