IHAL-01 - Horsehide Cafe Racer with Collar

[davito]

Jacket looks great G

I love the jacket, including the collar, for both functional and stylistic reasons. As a non-rider, collarless cafe racers are a bit too "motocycley" for me. Would sort of feel like a poseur wearing one. The collar makes this a mainstream jacket to me.

Spot on McLain. I have a belstaff one and it never feels right being collarless unless I throw a hoodie over the top! Love the Ih one.

G, so will H tweak this sample and then there will be changes before the final version? Just curious.

I think we are probably there, size-wise.  I will know for sure in 2-3 days….Positioning of the labels will change, that I do know.....

Hi, this might be too long ago, but @Giles do you know if this jacket was tea-core tanned? (i.e. does the black color (shed) its outer layer to reveal the brown patina underneath?
I tried to look at the archived listing but idk if we use "tea core" as a marketing term 10 years ago.
