IHSB-EXT-NAT - Iron Heart x Simmons Bilt Natural Horsehide Type III Jacket

[chadstone30]

@ihukcrew Is it so!?

[Mizmazzle]

Interesting

[natefreezy]

How do you choose between this, pale rider and natural big buck?!?

[Alex]

None of these are in the works currently for IHUK, but they will come soon enough after the PR and Big Bucks are made. There are only so many things a few hands can make at once..

[jeremychlee]

How does this compare to the IHJ-49 in terms of warmth?

[Alex]

@jeremychlee This is heavier, IMO

[mapotofu]

Don't mean to disagree with @Alex but I actually find the IHJ-49 split steer type iii noticeably heavier and warmer.

Especially the older ones they are crazy heavy as feck.

We received a few jackets from Simmons Bilt. Unfortunately, the number of sizes is very limited.

That's cool! I'd assume IHUK will be getting some then as well. Shoulders seem narrow on this though, no? Any feedback on how sizing shakes out for this?

[Larkens]

@natefreezy I’m usually a large in IH, got this in XL and the shoulders are fine for me. The guys in Hamburg helped me with sizing.

Ps: love this jacket already. Just got it today. Thanks @Shane-B and @Axel-HH for all their help

[Shane B]

@Larkens Wow, that looks really great!

[Larkens]

@Shane-B thanks! I was worried about the shoulders. But it fits like a glove

[natefreezy]

@Larkens Looks good! Do you think you needed to size up to an XL if just wearing over t-shirt? Or is that to allow layering? My IH Type III is an L with similar chest measurements but the shoulders are wider by over an inch.

[Larkens]

@natefreezy It fits nice with just a tee, though must say that I’m wearing my bib, so there is some extra denim in the mix on my back and front.

My guess is that size large would not be it for me. I intend on layering it with uhf/ shirt. And maybe some days with just a tee.

@Larkens Hi Erik, Fit is spot-on!
I am really glad that you like this beauty! Enjoy!

[popvulture]

@ShopatIronHeart what leather is this using now? Color sort of looks like Blattwerk but texturally not so much. IHG's site said Italian horsehide I think. I'd love to know more.

Also a little bewildered by the small shoulder measurements on these. XXL is under 18" which would def make it a no-go for me, sadly, especially considering this one doesn't have a bi-swing back. I've been eyeing a natural jacket for years and wouldn't mind this being the one, but it'd have to have bigger shoulders, I'd imagine.

[Larkens]

@Axel-HH it sure is thanks!
