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

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

@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.

@Axel-HH it sure is
thanks! -

Will leave to the experts, but I ordered this on the assumption that it’s the prior Italian Horsehide (the old Pale Rider leather), rather than the new Blattwerk leather. I’m an XXL in almost all IH tops and went with an XXL in this jacket (as all non-shoulder measurements were ideal). The widest shoulder they had was 44 cm. I’ve got 2 other IH Simmons Bilt jackets and the XXL was perfect in both (and slightly roomy for layering), so I’m hoping that’ll continue. We’ll see if I’ve made a horribly expensive mistake!

@Shane-B Not really sure. If you're referring to the belt that was too small that I returned, that was over two years ago now, right? That wasn't a VAT question, but a timely processing of a return question, from what I remember.

Oh yes, I remember, I mistook you for another customer from the US.
