IHJ-128-BLK - Japanese Horsehide Double Motorcycle Jacket - Black

[goosehd]

@akmu You might want to look at size small as well. The jacket you have on, is very large on you.

[akmu]

Thanks for the suggestion guys. I have returned my jacket to Iron heart Hamburg ( Germany ) and awaiting for the refund and was told I can order it by myself on iron heart europe. Also another qtn, in the above pics my shoulders are perfect but everything else is a bit large like the sleeves. if I opt for the size M, what if the jacket gets too small at the shoulders ?confused now.

[Eza]

can this be ordered with the sleeves altered they seem long in every picture I have seen....

@Eza no, IH do not offer sleeve alterations.

Sleeves are long by design due to the the jacket being designed for bikers, as sleeves can ride up when riding a bike.

@akmu I think medium shoulder would look better, but sadly sometimes you have to accept that a certain garment/brand may not be cut in a way that suits your body type.

I tried numerous brands before finding IH fit me perfectly (generally in size large, but once you become acquainted with your own measurements, it makes picking out appropriate sizes based on the charts much easier)

@T4920 Been riding for years all my jackets finish at the break of the wrist to show a full hand and the inner liner cuff acts as a buffer so the sleeves won't ride up, I don't like the look of the sleeves being almost at the knuckles reason I was asking thanks for your answer!

Also with Horsehide I imagine the sleeves will shorten 1 to 1.5 inches when the creasing sets in

Oh yes, she will be mine.

Does anyone know the thickness of the leather on this jacket? Normally it's listed in details, e.g. 1.3 mm, but with this one it's not.

[AdamJ]

@ghostlyparsley Hides vary between 1.2 and 1.6mm, and are chosen on a panel by panel basis. I will update the product pages shortly. Thanks for pointing out

I pulled the trigger!! Should be here tomorrow. I’m so surprised these didn’t fly off the shelf. I love my denim collarless riders jackets and I have a feeling I’ll love this even more. I feel like the collarless element kind of updates the look of your standard biker jacket while also making the whole asymmetrical look a bit more subdued. Suffice to say I’ve been eyeing it ever since I knew of its existence. The only down side I foresee is my fine creek jacket getting a lot less love. I’ll make sure to post some fit pics once I have it in hand.

[Smiladon]

Got it. Love it! It layers perfectly and honestly felt pretty comfy by day 2. Can’t wait to really break it in this coming fall. Highly recommend. I have a Fine Creek asymmetrical jacket also and this ih one holds up just fine. I actually like the unique yet timeless look of the rider/asymmetric jacket combo.
I was bummed when I sold my horsehide type 3 IH jacket but I already know I’m goi g to get more wear out of this new one.

Another winner! I Was surprised these hadn’t flown off the shelves but it afforded me the to
Time to save up for this jacket.
Kinda wanted the blue one but I’ll just live vicariously though another lucky ducky. Bbgġ

@Smiladon Great fit. also the leather has a nice shine to it. Wear a lot this fall & winter.

[Smiladon]

@twin
I def will. My ih hoody fits under it pretty well so that should be warm. I had forgotten how shiny and stiff they are at first, but honestly by day two this one had already kind of loosened up. Just need to go around in some hot sun for a bit.

@Smiladon What size is your jacket? I may order one also.

[Smiladon]

Sorry I haven’t really been on here much but @twin this is a 44, which I believe is an xxxl? But not totally sure which size I ordered.
