        Thanks @ARNC
        Difficult to capture the deep brown of the leather with a phone! Here are some more accurate detailed shot!

          Thanks for all the pictures. I think I'm nearly ready now. Not much to be pushed over the cliff 😜

          Edit: Still 5 left in XXL. I'll watch that number closely. It's a long way to the September party, but trying it on before purchase may be a smart move on a 2k jacket.

            @Dimi congratulations great looking fit on you.

            The sleeves look perfect and as you said with Horsehide they should pull up a bit with sleeve tunneling as you wear it more.

                      Fit: 38 (M). 38 chest, 162 lbs., 5’9. Snug, but good. Can def fit a UHF but not much more. Sizing up may have been more practical, however, it’s too soon to tell as the jacket is still pretty stiff (approx. 40 hours of wear). Went with average IH size (M), however, sized down from type 3 (typically large).

                        Is pigment dyed the same as chrome dyed? How does pigment dye vary from veg tanned in how they both age and wear?

                          @PJS Here is an article from Heddels that explains tanning processes and terminology used associated with tanning:

                          I will add more information as I find the appropriate resources.

                                @PJS You are welcome. Here is another article discussing leather grades: https://www.heddels.com/2014/06/overview-guide-leather-grades/

                                There is quite a bit of information to work through, but all are essential to understanding some of the terminology used.

                                  This IHJ-129-BRN is "premium vegetable tanned horsehide" that has been "pigment dyed brown - meaning that once the pigment fades out, the natural leather will begin to show underneath."

                                      THIS.IS.AMAZING.

                                      It is a jacket out of this world - that horsehide is something else. Buttery soft right from the start. The colour is beautiful, I was a little hesitant to get a brown leather jacket first.
                                      I think I nailed the fit with my (shirt size) XXL. Sleeve length is spot on, shoulders and chest, too. Waist feels a little restrictive when zipped up, but not too bad.
