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

@juicydeeluxe looks like a good fit to me! Did you end up buying it?

For anyone with this jacket and the N1, how does the sizing compare? I noticed Adam C and Graham wear an XL in this, but a L in the N1.

@Graham Thank you!
