IHJ-135-IND - 13oz Oxford Cloth Riders Jacket - Indigo

[gbougard]

I now llive in Texas where the weather is super hot 8 months of the year and warm the rest of the time. Should I get this one or the 21oz model in order not to suffocate when I'm at a red light or a slow moving situation under the sun?

[Alex]

This will be slightly cooler, but the 21oz is breathable as you well know, so both could be workable. I would be going for 13oz, having spent a couple of days in Austin this year

@Alex It was hot as could be when you were here too!

@gbougard 21 might be good for riding in the winter. It does get pretty cold when you’re not in the sun light.

New snaps from Johnny, some BTS from me, and Courtney once again looking absolutely spot on with the fit

The jacket quite obviously looking mint.

BTS...

@Nick Courtney wears IH so damn well!! Send him our compliments

[Nick]

@goosehd I'll let him know for sure. Even his beanie wearing abilities are skilled-up. Looks great no matter the style

[gbougard]

@Danimal506 sorry for the late reply. We're now in the middle of the "cold" season here in Austin.

I was hoping to score a leather jacket in time for the "cold" season from a brand in Scotland (wink wink) but the skin they ordered for it hasnt arrived yet...

So I ride with a modified type III IH jacket (the one dyed in indigo) over a tshirt, a thin merino hoodie and a regular hoodie with a scarf to block out the drafts and it's very, very bearable.

I just arrived back home from a 50 mile ride and it was beautiful. Man I love Texas

[Danimal506]

@gbougard That’s awesome. Glad to hear you’re enjoying the riding here. Texas really makes me want a motorcycle. Other than all the crazy drivers on the 35 haha

I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled for a Type III out there!

How is this great piece of gear not getting more attention?

[krebsy]

I've been wearing mine a bit more now that it's warming up where I live. Nothing too photo worthy happening just yet, but it's shedding more indigo than I would have expected for the limited wear I've put on it.

[RobeOfTheMagi]

Don't be too shy with the pictures :).

[krebsy]

The lighting on these makes it look like there's a whole lot more happening than there is, but I'm still surprised to see anything evolving at all considering the limited wear it's had.

[JunkPants]

Keep coming back and looking at this one, very nice piece.
(If my closet wasn't already overflowing with jackets, several even unworn, I'd be getting one for sure. So many great IH jackets.......).

[motojobobo]

I’m exactly in the same jackets-to-the-brim boat as you @JunkPants and yet itching for this one too.

[RobeOfTheMagi]

Is it possible to see the fit of jacket on a person that is about 180cm tall and roughly 80kg?

[Alex]

@RobeOfTheMagi have you had a look at the staff measurements?

If so, what size would you like to see what staff member try? If we have one in stock, we can oblige.

[RobeOfTheMagi]

That's cool! I suppose Ben is closest to my measurements :).

I'd portably go for size large.

A Large is definitely the size I'd go for in this for wearing over a t-shirt or lighter underlayer like a thermal, really hope these help

[RobeOfTheMagi]

Nice to meet you Ben :).
You guys are too cool; thank you @alex and @Ben!

[RobeOfTheMagi]

I'm still torn between this and the vintage CPO.
