IHJ-129-BRN - Japanese Horsehide Riders Jacket - Brown

[ARNC]

Thanks @goosehd @Daniel-San @DrPat! At the moment I think it looks great but I’m still getting used to how it feels. I’ve seen comments on the threads for previous iterations of these jackets that they feel smaller than they really are at first and that going too big initially is a mistake, so I think I’m good. Appreciate having confirmation that I’m not deluding myself!

It’s that horse hide thing , it just takes time to mould. feels strange when new cause it’s so stubborn even worse than a Lefty
But this will significantly change after some wear.

[ARNC]

@Daniel-San thanks. I haven’t experienced the lefty yet, but makes sense. It also ties in with my decision to go with dimensions similar to my type iii jackets (and this is the point I should probably give a nod to @Bailey for pre-sale guidance).

Couldn't agree more with the previous sentiments, perfect fit!

[ARNC]

@T4920 thanks. I think I just need to get used to it (like you with your wabby pants - they look great btw)!

[Twistlock]

Perfect fit. Looks rad @ARNC !

[ARNC]

@Twistlock thanks!

[jerkules]

Add a slow clap from me, @ARNC

Awesome

[dinobarnesberlin]

dude--you nailed it

[doubletee]

@ARNC looks perfect to me. Any bigger and some of the proportions will be off. Got to try this on the other day and ‘that’s a f*cking jacket’ was the general consensus

[ARNC]

Thanks guys!

@doubletee it definitely is – you weren’t tempted?

[Giles]

I'd be more than happy with that......Congrats....

[ARNC]

@Giles I am, I just need to get used to it. Thanks!

[Giles]

Yeah, you will love it more each time you wear it.....

[Nik]

Looks really cool @ARNC

[ARNC]

Thanks @Nik. I find myself trying it on most times I go past the coat cupboard and (as G said) each time I love it more!

[weftyarn]

Hell yeah @ARNC this looks impeccable! Wear it well and welcome to the horse team

[ARNC]

@weftyarn thanks! You won’t be surprised to hear I spent a lot of time looking at your 54 before ordering this. If I get half as much enjoyment out of mine as you do from yours it’s a solid win (and early signs are I’ll get way more than that)!

@ARNC

Congratulations on the jacket, and perfect looking fit IMHO.

I’ve burned through a lot of money on HH leather jackets, trying to get the perfect fit, I’ve done bespoke, off the rack, multiple brands, patterns you name it.

My conclusion, you need one leather jacket to wear over a tee shirt, and one leather jacket if you want to layer lol.
