IHJ-129-BRN - Japanese Horsehide Riders Jacket - Brown
-
@ARNC haha all sound suggestions. Def posting some fit pics for some honest feedback. It was a quick try on before I left yesterday but gut instinct is telling me i’m between sizes/to size down
-
-
@tody I’ve always been in between M and L. Own a mix of M and L UHFs but have been going w large of late for comfort. Certainly be interested in your thoughts when I post some fit pics Monday

@flannel-slut Seems that were sized very similarly. Looking forward to pics.
-
Fairly certain I’m going to size down to the Medium but looking for some sincere feedback -sleeves look long but am avoiding bending me arms/creating stacks pending a return, my hangup is a little boxy and the upper arms/bicep area too full
-
There is another part of me saying, you’re overthinking it and will work once broken in
-
The angle of the pics makes it really hard to tell, but judging from the amount of play in the back, I think you could probably size down. How do you like a leather to fit, though? And how free do you want your range of motion? Are you going to wear it with layers? The shoulders look about right.
-
@sabergirl Sooooo hard to decide on this one. Very good check points to work through. I think I was being too greedy and try and get something that could work both layered and w a tee. I think this fit mostly achieves this but having it on do find myself wishing it were more fitted
-
@goosehd thank you sir. I looked through the blk thread just now and and saw @pechelman first pics -a size up (which worked) and then seeing pics a few post down -sized down FTW. Feel like I’m in a very similar camp.
-
@flannel-slut I really think you will be happier with a size down. The shoulders are borderline too big as well as the chest. With the bi-swing pleated shoulders you will have all of the room you need for mobility if that is a concern.
-
@goosehd thank you for confirming the voice in my head. This jacket is too good to not dial the fit in
-
@flannel-slut I think you could go either way, however, it’s a bit difficult to tell from the angle. Have you tried zipping the cuffs all the way down? Keep in mind you will also lose a bit of length in the sleeves after wear.. As mentioned, if you plan on layering, I think the size works. How does the bottom hem feel when zipping it up?
-
@tody @Spectrum156 much appreciated on the feedback. Stubborn crew has me taken care of and has a medium coming my way but for comparisons sake did take a couple more pics at a straight on angle
-
Still think you could go either way. It’s really going to depend on your plans for layering and how you would like it to fit overall. I think you could def pull this off over just a tee and having the ability to throw on a UHF is a plus. As I’m sure @tody and @ARNC can attest, this jacket evolves pretty dramatically through wear and it’s tough to get an initial impression when brand new.
-
@flannel-slut the second set of pics is clearer. It doesn’t look bad from the front but it looks like there’s a lot of room at the back in the first set. My guess is you would still have room to spare even if you added a layer underneath - not sure if it would be more or less noticeable as the leather softens up. I expect the medium will be better for you, but I guess we’ll find out in a few days!
