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

[flannel slut]

@twin thanks man, looking fwd to breaking it in. Does appear black but it’s because pic is in backyard/cast shadow
self conscious of taking a pic in the front of the house, (where there was light) at the risk of my neighbor seeing a middle aged man taking leather jacket selfies in the dead of summer

@Spectrum156 thanks my dude
Edit: and back at yea

[twin]

@flannel-slut I may buy one some time also.

[flannel slut]

@twin do you own the black one? Pretty sure I remember seeing you rocking one a few months ago
Edit: just took a look at your profile. Black Type 3. Very nice btw

[twin]

@flannel-slut No I do not have this jacket. The only IH. leather jacket I have is the IH-64.

@flannel-slut congratulations, great looking fit.

I’ve tried a bunch of leather jackets from many of the Japanese and North American makers … my two cents, is that you need one jacket for tee shirts, and another jacket for layering.

[flannel slut]

@Brandrea thanks man! And completely agree on your sizing comment. I was trying to do EXACTLY that when first purchased the large… like I could shrink it down some in the wash if it was a little too big
There are some of you lucky few out there (and you know who you are) who have been able to balance that fine line between hoody and tshirt.
My two cents or @futureconsumer; horsehide, better off w a tighter than looser fit. Steerhide/roughouts or leather w more of a “drape”, lends to sizing up and pry the better layering option.

Taking advantage of a much welcomed mid summer cold front

Got about 15 hours of wear in yesterday and noticed that the folds above the cuffs are starting to settle.

Also some of the natural leather is starting to show through. I assume this is exactly what I should expect but I hope the second one is the shape of things to come (I prefer the more feathered edges) Maybe that’s just a function of location (cuff vs armpit).

Looking good @ARNC
The scuffs will look more faded and natural with time

[ARNC]

Thanks @weftyarn, that’s good to hear (always good to get guidance from Oberststallmeister Emil)!

Oberststallmeister Emil!

Love it

[Tago Mago]

@weftyarn you might want to get in touch with @jordanscollected. Maybe you can send some of his fancy food supplememts @ARNC' s way

[ARNC]

The horse got quite fulsome compliments from two random people when I was on a mission to collect something I had ordered (more on that tomorrow ). It never happens when I wear anything else so I guess I’ll have to accept the horse looks better than I do
