@Darth-fader Damn, that's a beauty! I'm going to need to get in on the next preorder. What's the lining like? I couldn't tell from the product listing if the quilted lining is insulated or not.
-
@WhiskeySandwich holy cow (or horse) this thing is absolutely glorious.
-
Love this thing more every day
-
First signs on the elbow. I hadn’t realized til I got this btw that the thread is chocolate, really like this design choice
-
@WhiskeySandwich looks so good already!
-
@SonnyTheElder its quilted but not insulated, so not as warm as the alpaca version (doesn't have the storm cuffs either) but it does make it a bit roomier so better for layering if needed.....I like the way its a different option than the regular version, so can be worn more in spring/autumn
-
IB-140 with about a seasons worth of wear. It gets softer and more matte each day. I’m rotating between this and the KB-140 so they are both only getting half the wear.
-
@WhiskeySandwich Looks very nice on you.
-
@bigwaterbobby Nice combo with the jeans.
-
@twin Thanks. Some IH-555-XHSib starting to finally break in and show some fades.
-
@bigwaterbobby Welcome. All it takes is wearing the XHSib a lot.
-
@twin thank you kind sir!
@Darth-fader appreciated!
I enjoy it full time. Keeps getting better. The shine is dulling and I’m already seeing some brown coming thru, way faster than I expected. It’s softening a lot, gonna be good on the bike I’m sure, if I can get up the driveway thru the snow lol
-
@Darth-fader That's exactly what I was hoping for regarding the lining. I've wanted an N1 but can't do the wool/alpaca lined versions as I run way too warm so this sounds like it may work. Thanks!

@Darth-fader - Amazing, just picked this up myself (in transit)! No preorder but snagged the last 38/M at suggestion of Ben and that I’m a solid 40 in the rest of my Y2’s (size large shirts in iron heart and a medium in iron hearts N-1). I’m worried about the shoulders. Similar to the Kakishibu Scar Chore I went with a 40 and it’s good w/ a t-shirt, but I def snug and filled out if I layer a t-shirt and a UHF. Wish I could have tried on both sizes but they only had the 38M left.
What did you size to vs. normal sizing? What kinds of layers can you get under it comfortably?
-
@Kjunx I am sort of inbetween XL and L in iron heart shirts, and M and L in the N1, so can go either way for a snugger fitted look or a little roomier fit.....I have the standard Y2 N1 (with the thicker alpaca lining) in size 42 and it fits well, but I can only wear it with a t-shirt (which is fine as the jacket is so warm) so it fits me like a Medium iron heart N1 would.....the Sop n1 is also a 42 but has the thinner lining, so it fits well but has some extra room if I wanted to layer (uhf or even a hoodie) - it fits me more like the Large iron heart N1 would. So it's hard to say as body type plays a factor, but the sop one is a bit more forgiving than the standard one fit wise.

@Darth-fader helpful; Thank you.
I’ll report back here with where I landed with my fit. Hopefully will be helpful to others as they look to guide any preorder decisions.
Update: Received the size 38 today and unfortunately it’s a tight fit in the shoulders and upper chest with a t-shirt when zipped - severely limiting mobility. no way I could wear with a hoodie or UHF. I’ll have to size up to a 40 (not currently in stock). Otherwise it’s a gorgeous jacket; wish it fit me on this go around; very different cut than say the Iron Heart N-1 in size Medium.
-
For folks who have the roughout steer chore jacket, how are you liking it? Do you find it pretty versatile to wear? And did you go true to size or size up one? I'd originally been looking at suede chore jackets but this one looks pretty nice, I like that it's not quite as long as standard for some chore jackets.
-
Beside myself at how nice this piece is. Thanks again @thooy05
