IHJ-64-BLK - Horsehide Modified Type III Jacket - Black (Tea-Core Dyed)

@jdixon1974 great write up! Looks incredible on you!!

[travisxray]

@jdixon1974 That looks like it fits you very well! Just wait till you get that leather softened up and shaped more to your body.

@jdixon1974 mine was from Re-Loved so didn't have to endure the break-in process, but I can assure you it softens up nicely..

Can be buttoned/unbuttoned effortlessly with one hand now!

Scuffed the elbow on a brick wall yesterday.

Was initially pissed off and a bit upset, but then I managed to convince myself it was a good thing, wabi-sabi and all that...

Tea core speedrun, you might say...

It's all a matter of perspective

@T4920 Absolutely! no point babying a leather jacket or you'll always be too scared of hurting it to wear it! Get the scrapes and scars and have the stories to tell later

[T4920]

Trying out the leather with lighter jeans today, as my ODs got mudded up over the weekend

Kinda diggin' it, I won't lie!

@T4920
have you done something against the shiny look they usually have ? or was it a result of the rain ?
Looks awesome

[T4920]

@Daniel-San I've been caught in the rain numerous times in it, wear it once or twice a week, and am definitely not babying it, but to my eyes at least, it looks the same as when I got it a couple of months ago.

It was from Re-Loved though (lightly used), so potentially the natural sheen could've been slightly dulled from prior wear..

Or maybe it's just the bad lighting in my dingy little office

[Daniel San]

what ever , great catch

[doubletee]

@T4920 like a glove mate

[T4920]

@doubletee I know right
When I saw the measurements I just knew it was gonna be perfect. Genuinely don't think I could get a better fit if it was made to measure... Perfectly fitted, and does not hinder any aspect of movement in my upper body, had no idea it was possible for a jacket to fit so well!

Fit pics - 188 lbs, 5’11”, XXL.

Fellas, I'm 5"10, 190lbs, 42 Chest. Wear a 44 Y2 Western shirt jacket. I've poured over this entire thread, the remaining internet, size charts from multiple sources and still need advice. Think I can fit the large? The P2P size is the only thing that concerns me. The Shop Vancouver says shoulders for Large are 18.8" and p2p is 22.3". Is this accurate? If so, this would be quit form fitting for me but doable. If Large is smaller than this, I'm not so sure it will stretch enough to ever be comfortable. Thanks for any insights that can be shared.

@Rooney-04 looking at the measurements on the IH website those figures could be accurate. Your best bet will be to reach out to the shop to clarify any open questions on your side

[Rooney-04]

@Tago-Mago
Fair enough. I'll try to get exact measurements of the item in stock. Thanks and cheers.

[T4920]

@Rooney-04 don't expect any stretch with this beast, it'll mould to your body for sure though!

If you do end up sizing up to an XL, pay attention to the sleeve length, as they're cut quite long.

[indigostiff]

@Rooney-04 I am a 44 chest and wear an XXL. From wearing this on and off, I can honestly tell you it doesn't want to stretch an inch.

[Rooney-04]

Thanks guys!

To add, the horsehide will crease and fold, meaning that the arms will get shorter and you’ll probably lose (a little) in the chest, waist, and length, too
