    Hey guys, looking for some tips here.

    I have a Flat Head demin jacket (size 40), it’s their storm rider. I love it, but it’s quite fitted, and I can only really wear a T shirt or a thin pullover under it which is fine, the Jacket is pretty warm and the fit is what I’m looking for.

    I was down town on Friday and tried the single riders jacket from the Flat Head because I’ve been eyeing it for a while (also size 40). It feels amazing but I was wearing a UHF that day and I couldn't even get my arm in the sleeve. I wear a medium in IH and the size 40 jacket was rather small. I got the UHF off and with only a Henley on it fit real noice, but with the zip up, I couldn’t reach the side pockets 😂

    So, I am doing it right, the jacket is supposed to look amazing, but you can’t really move in it? Or, do you all generally size up in these? Will the hide soften over time to a degree where moving your arms in a functional way can be realized?

      I’d 100% size up and have something that I can actually wear (and will conform to my body), rather than something that’ll look great in pics but can’t practically be worn. Horsehide will crease and ‘shrink’, but won’t stretch and get larger.

        Actually I have double rider. Got size 40 it tight. Loosen up a bit and gone way soft.

        Having to size up will be look wonky.

        I can get a hoodie under mine

          I had to size up to a 42 in my double rider jacket, the 40 was too short and a little tight. I’m a medium in IH.

          I wanted to be able to layer a shirt or sweatshirt underneath and there was no chance with the 40, but the main thing was the length for me.

              @NickD Nice, thank you. I see your post up there and that is the 42? Fits you like a glove. I like the idea of a leather jacket, but only being able to wear a Tee under it limits it's use in my opinion. Normally if it's warm enough for only a Tee, then it's not really leather jacket weather...or is it always leather jacket weather!?

              @Kasi thanks for the comments, I see most guys my height and weight wear a 40 but I really can't imagine it's going to loosen to the point where I can fit a shirt or a sweater underneath it.

              Cross question to IH leather Jackets: Does a M IH leather = 40 in the Flat Head? Anyone able to comment on that?

                @BalticBob yes, that's the 42 in my pic above, there are some other pictures in the WAYWT thread. I'm probably lucky that the 42 works for me whether I layer or not.

                If possible I'd try more than one jacket as well, the fit will be different even between the same size and brand - when I bought my double rider I tried on 3 or 4 42s, and the one I bought was the smallest of the ones they had available.

                  @BalticBob Depends on the model of the Flat Head. I’d say that the single rider has wider shoulders, a slightly narrower chest, and a narrower waist than the IH equivalent size. The Flat Head Type 2 fits slightly looser in all dimensions. Can’t speak to the J24, but the IH sizing and fit appears much, much looser than the equivalent Flat Head numerical size.

                    Have the flat head type 2 in leather bigger than the double rider both size 40.

                    Have a type 3 size 38 in IH leather the fit is bigger

                            @Kasi Like that Blackhawk's hat also. Did you get to see a game at Chicago Stadium before the United Center?

                              Never watch any sport. Just like the caps. Any team like the design I buy it.

                                  Does anyone have the 10oz Flat Head denim work shirt? I really like some of the details on it but I have never seen one and I am curious to know how to stacks up to a 10 or 12 oz IH demin shirt.

                                  I have the 12 oz work shirt from IH and I really like it, especially with the snaps, but I do have my eye on this Flat Head piece too. Can never have too many shirts, right? 🙂
