IHJ-49 - Split Steer Modified Type III Jacket - Black or Brown

@Mizmazzle What is your typical sleeve length?
I wear a L in virtually all of my IH shirts, so I'm thinking I want a L in this jacket. The sleeve length is pretty crazy, though. I have kinda long arms, so maybe the L will work. Even the Medium has a long sleeve length, but for me, a little too long is better than a sleeve that rides up when you reach across a table. Thanks!

@singletrack Hey man. My prefered sleeve length is 25.5 give or take...
The sleeves on my split steer were really long, and you're right, they are long across all sizes on this jacket. I had my sleeves shortened because they were just way too long for my preference. After I had them altered, the jacket was absolute perfection. -
@Mizmazzle Well, I'm about where you are. 25-26" (or 34" in a dress shirt) is my general sleeve length. I'll have to think on this one and see if we have someone local that I would trust to alter. Thanks for the quick reply!

@singletrack If you're curious you can read back in this thread a ways..I documented the whole journey of getting the jacket and finding a furrier to do the alteration.

Hey everyone! I’m loving the look and feel of my new split steer, but the dye transfer is really bad. Does anyone have any experience with this? I’m wearing it with just a tee today and my hands and neck are covered in black dye transfer.

@Daniel-San it’s really bad.

@seawolf I had the same problem, don't wear anything white and give your skin that touches it a good wash afterwards. I was left with a very black neck line ,apart from that it is an amazing jacket enjoy.

Can't help there I've only worn it three times I have a lot of jackets.
-
Mine shed some dye when I first got it onto a white tee...but didn't notice much more transfer after that...though I never wore another white shirt with it since.
Granted, mine was lightly used when I bought it, so hard to say exactly how much wear was required for it to stop. I've worn mine a bunch at this point and haven't noticed any transfer of dye for quite a while now....
Also, the tanning, chemical smell from the leather is 95% gone. -
Wearing the split steer tonight…
Just wow! The split steer is incredible -
Hello. I’m unsure of sizing for this jacket. I’m pretty 50/50 with most of my IH shirts. UHF is usually XL and OD’d shirts are always XXL. I have an OD’d 17oz Type 3 that’s XXL but had a 14oz OD Type 3 that was XL. Iron heart N1 is XL.
I’d like to wear this with some layers to wear in the coldest of weather (NY) but not look like a sloppy mess in a T shirt. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

@juicydeeluxe Your best bet is to watch this video: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/topic/5664/video-how-measure-to-jackets-the-iron-heart-method
Measure your jackets (especially your best fitting one) and compare those measurements to the product chart listed here: Brown Jacket or Black Jacket
Take notes and see which size will work better for you and if you have additional questions, email the IHUK Crew for assistance at: shop@ironheart.co.uk
Hope this helps.

I was able to try on an XL but not the XXL. What has me a little confused is the 17oz OD type 3 I have has narrower shoulders by .75” and chest by 2” but feels roomier than the XL IHJ-49 even though it measures larger. Its really only feels snug if my arms are in the “hugging” position. Maybe this is normal for leather jackets? I haven’t owned or worn a leather jacket before. It felt good otherwise just a little snug in the driving or hugging position. Only snug in the back of the shoulders area.
-
@juicydeeluxe that's funny I thought my leather type 3 was much much much roomier than my od 14 both in xl, especially in the chest and shoulders, which is weird because it has a lining so you'd think it'd be smaller.
-
@Giles I’ve never worn a leather jacket before. I wasn’t sure if some snugness in the upper back/shoulder might be expected if extending out the arms to a 90 degree angle or there about or if this was an indication of an ill fitting jacket. I should’ve been more clear. It felt like a well fitting jacket otherwise.
