    Hey Gunnar,

    The N1 does indeed run a bit bigger so if you want to layer or button your J-49, you will want to look at 1 size larger than your N1. Same size will most likely only work open over a tee.

          @juicydeeluxe I have a brown one but was looking at black too, what are your thoughts on the black one since you have both?

            Killer jacket indeed. Upsized to XXL to layer and had the sleeves shortened 3” to better fit. Comfortable straight away. The jacket has a great drape to it, heavy and buttery soft, even a light shirt or t-shirt works as well.

              @Transporter good on you, yeah!! Looks great. I had the sleeves shortened on mine too and it was a game changer.

              In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                @Mizmazzle Thanks, brother. I actually kept the cuffs on after shortening on this one and glad I did. I can still wear my watches with it when unbuttoning the cuffs. On my J-64, I cut the cuffs away on that one but the horsehide is so different than this roughout so works out for both. Damn fine jacket this one--no break-in at all. Pretty awesome steerhide and construction too and the ever-important gun pockets. And of course painful fingers--hurts so good.

                  @Transporter I must have a newer one or something because mine has really nicely finished button holes and the buttons are like butter from brand new.

                    @borosillykid Good on ya, mate. Mine is pretty new as well, bought a month ago. I actually don't mind the nice, tight specs. Much easier after only a few days with this one. My J-64 was one tight virgin for a few weeks.

                      @Transporter I bet that's a sick jacket though wow. I'm trying to decide if I want the black split steer too but I probably don't need it I have 8 IH jackets and my gf kinda said I'm cut off for the time being lol. Plus I have two OD jackets already so blacks kinda covered haha. I wish I had a horse hide to check out as I absolutely love a stiff firm jacket.

                        @borosillykid Hahaha, hey gfs don't count! Tell her if and when you get married, she has a say. A man needs his jackets, jeans, boots, knives, tools, bikes, trucks, gear, toys of all varieties. Once you get married, far more complicated finding more space, for example, for those must-have, custom Viberg marbled black shell cordovan boots and Black Jack elephant boots that arrive in the same week. Ugh! When the wife sees them, I reply "these old things? Got them used from a guy on the boot forum." LOL

                        Having said that. Giles wasn't just marketing when he says that IH's chrome-tanned horsehide is the best he's found. Smells glorious and takes a serious lickin' as bikers would want and looks great. The J-64 is beast of a jacket armor with a great break-in that molds to the body like the 21 oz jeans. I also have the SB Blattwerk work jacket horsehide that smells like olives and velvety smooth and no break-in from day 1. Two totally different vibes.

                          Oh another thing about the brown split steerhide. I wore it for a day with only a t-shirt, and noticed that after about 8 hours, a black ring around the collar. This material absorbs any oil (including natural sweat) readily. Best to give it a Saphir Super Invulner spray coat when you first get it if that would bother you.

                            @Mizmazzle How do you like / wear this compared to the 14oz 295? I know fairly different, I want both but need to prioritize and not sure what should be first!

                              @natefreezy well, they are two completely different garments with their own attributes.
                              The 295 is a shirt (albeit a pretty thick one and can definitely be used as a light jacket during the warmer months’ cooler evening) But I wear it like a shirt, often times with the split steer layered over it in the colder months.

                              The IHJ-49 split steer is a full on, heavy weight jacket. I’d say with a tee only it could live in the 50-65° range. Layered over a UHF I find it comfortable down to 32°. Of course this varies based on personal tolerances, but maybe gives you an idea.

                              Is this the type of info you’re looking for? They are both top tier in their respective categories for sure.

                              In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...

                                @Mizmazzle Yeah thanks! Totally understood very different pieces, just wondering if you found yourself getting more usage out of one or other or fit in your wardrobe any differently from how you thought.

                                Do you have any pics wearing two together? That would be cool to see!

                                On split steer, for fit with a tshirt would you still take same size as UHF or go down size? Same size is probably more versatile, would be nice to be able to try both on but not practical.

                                  @natefreezy I’m a large in all my IH shirts and jackets. But if I was only going to wear the split steer with a t shirt, I would size down to a medium.

                                  With my size large, I think it looks ok with just a tee, but much better with a layer underneath.

                                    Does anyone in here own the Type 3 that 3sixteen did with Schott? Either the Copper Roughout or the Goatskin? I'm just wondering what the weight of this feels like compared to those.

                                      @thread-and-steel this jacket weighs around 4-1/2 pounds. Hope that helps.

                                        @thread-and-steel said in IHJ-49 - Split Steer Modified Type III Jacket - Black or Brown:

                                        I own the 3sixteen type iii collab they did with Simmons Bilt in chocolate suede (and the IH split steer in black). Both the 3sixteen and IH split steer are substantial in weight and quality but the IH Split Steer feels heavier and thicker.
