Thanks for taking the time to share your experience! I appreciate it!!

@Rooney-04 you are welcome. The invoices have been digital in all instances for me.

Hey Boss. If you see this, would you mind commenting on how your journey with the Indigo Chore shirt has been going? I think this one is next up on my list because of availability and price point but I see most of the guys going with the camel. Just interested to hear what you might have to say. Thanks for your time and anything you have to share! -
Pretty clear tan lines after a couple of hours each the last 3 days. May stop here for now. Digging the honey color.

@Rooney-04 directly to your question, I really like the chore shirt in navy/indigo. It’s unlike any other leather goods I have that I own.
The longer answer…I live in Southern California. My Y’2 leather stuff has not see the light of day since late April or early May. If pressed for my preference, I wear my two Y’2 western shirts (camel steerhide and black tea core) more often. The chore shirt has its place in my rotation, I just prefer the western shirts more. -
i recently bought the IB-141 new, and also picked up an EB-140 second hand (although it was practically new) and i absolutely love the pair of them.
Both size 40, and i am usually a large in most iron heart shirts and jackets.I especially find the colour of both jackets really beautiful, the green one has some real depth to it that is hard to see in photos.
The Eb 140 is also a bit thicker/heavier than the IB141, so is better if its a bit colder outside with the indigo more of a lighter, everyday jacket

Beauties!

@Darth-fader Both gorgeous
, congratulations mate

@Daniel-San That jacket must be unlined? It's the best look.

@popvulture
it’s the LB-140 ANILINE BLACK HORSE HIDE TYPE 1 JACKET.
the leather is a little thinner than the usual eco horse and feels/ looks different because it’s aniline dyed and not tea core. I absolutely love this leather !@indigostiff
it’s lined
-
Just came in today and I’m beyond stoked on it. This is a 52 I have the camel I got a year ago in a 50 as well. They fit similarly in the chest but this has a wider waist so it’ll be more comfortable with a shirt or hoody under it. I need a leather next but finding one my size is a bit tough
-
Man, I'm disappointed to report that I can barely wear my KAK 140 without discomfort. The worst part is the inside of my arms at the elbows. I dont have massive biceps and arms. I don't work out at all. But man, the leather there seems to bunch up, seemingly because it's thick horsehide, and it bruises the ish out of me. I picked up the size 42 which is quite form fitting. I wonder if the 44 would be any better. Is this an issue with most HH jackets or does anyone else have a similar experience? Thanks again for everyone's time and any insights they can share.

@Rooney-04
Are you talking about the KB 140? -
@Rooney-04 sorry to hear that… If it’s a matter of the leather being rigid, and needing the soften up, or to have more mobility at your elbows or shoulders… The leather will do that. If you need the leather to stretch or get bigger, it won’t do that unfortunately
My best advice would be to wear it, every day, for a few weeks and see what happens! The resale value will not be too different now if you do that
-
Mine isn’t completely uncomfortable, I just can’t try to drink a beer or coffee, or drive a windy road. Isn’t this normal when wearing a thick leather HH jacket?
-
@99Tjadams I think that is normal for the first 50-100 wears, but should improve after that!
