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

[ARNC]

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

@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

Often does......

@flannel-slut that is a stellar shirt & jacket combo! Congrats sir!
Is that the IHSH-235? Envious peeps would like to know…

[tody]

@motojobobo see over in the dyeing clothes thread, he overdyed it!

[motojobobo]

Ahhhh…thanks @tody

[flannel slut]

@motojobobo thanks moto

@flannel-slut yeah that DIY emerald green is so nice! I really want a burgundy Serge shirt, but wouldn't wanna overdye my cherished grey one...

[flannel slut]

@T4920 thanks man. And a burgundy serge would look daaamn good but will say the dye was a little resistant to penetrating the serge material which might be why I have some streaking. Going from a light grey to a burgundy may create too much contrast if the dye does not take uniformly. Then again, it could have more of a tie dye effect and look sick… don’t mind me. Thinking out loud at this point.

Serge is such a great fabric it really does look good in most colours. A brick red/burgundy is not a bad shout at all, perhaps a navy or indigo would be cool too. Then a CPO, with copper snaps and.... to the "samples and things we should make" thread, I go

[Tago Mago]

@AdamJ if only you knew someone who makes and sells clothes

[ARNC]

To make @Tago-Mago perhaps feel a bit better, I discovered tonight that this horse bites!

[Tago Mago]

@ARNC I take no pleasure from your pain

[ARNC]

@Mister_Brue my own stupid fault. There are a few sets of steps linking streets where I live. I missed a step in the dark, instinctively pulled my hand out of my pocket for balance and got eaten by the zip!

[tody]

Ouch!
