IHJ-54-BLK - Japanese Horsehide Rider's Jacket with Collar - Black (Tea-Core Dye

[hbg1]

@weftyarn the jacket looks great, still debating this one based on our convo at the party
I should have tried it on but if it was a perfect fit I’d be so broke now

Spam it! I wore mine today in San Diego (for part of the day). I need to put some time in with it. It still looks too new. Pics to follow!

@weftyarn what size did you get? looks great.

XXL, which is my regular UHF / shirt size with few exceptions where I go XL

[RubyRae]

@weftyarn Thanks! I never know on IH jackets if you are supposed to go with shirt sizing or go up because it's a jacket. I finally got the shirt sizing dialed in, but jackets I'm still uncertain.

To the long-time owners of this jacket: Does it stop squeaking?

[pechelman]

not sure ive ever noticed what I'd call squeaking

It definitely creaks in a very satisfying way.

@seawolf
My brown one still squeaking after many years. Not a big deal for me. Not at all.

[seawolf]

@pechelman Creaking is probably a better word!

@hajduk It's not a big deal, but when I first had the jacket, I wore it to a reading of a friend's new novel. I was sitting in the audience next to my wife, and it was creaking every time I breathed. Afterwards me and my wife were dying laughing because it was so quiet in that room, and all we could hear was a gentle, rhythmic creaking every time I inhaled or exhaled.

@seawolf Please tell me the novel had a similar storyline to the "Tell-Tale Heart"...

[seawolf]

@goosehd I had the same thought when I was writing that out! Unfortunately, I'm not friend's with Poe, but this is my friend Luke Dumas' book The Paleontologist https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Paleontologist/Luke-Dumas/9781668018262

It's a horror/thriller type of book, so when he was reading an excerpt, you could hear a pin drop in the room. And also the gentle sound of my creaking jacket.

@seawolf That story sounds great and I'm positive that your jacket only added to the ambience of the evening

creak
