The red beast getting some winter wear in. It's been a little while.

Indigo Pablo’s getting better w age

Finally warm enough to break out the indigo type 1! The only piece of clothing I get compliments on

Some scar Kakishibu chore shirt appreciation! Took it out from its winter rest. The weather has changed so much in the northern part of Sweden recently, so it could finally be back in the rotation!🤎

[NickD]

@mecken88 I can't wait till mine gets to that colour.

[mecken88]

@NickD it will, faster then you know. Wear it a lot, and wear it in the sun!🫶

A little HD-03 love for the spring time.

Anyone seen Y2 leathers, I think new styled “sibling” to the HR-55…?
The new jacket is called ITR-55, it looks very nice. Haven’t seen the actual measurements to compare the two jackets with each other. So I don’t know how much difference it is.
But it looks great on pictures. Seems as they have made the collar smaller on the ITR-55 which i personally like as a change. But don’t know if it’s just a visual deception on the pictures, or if that’s the case.
Either way, would be nice seeing actual measurements

@mecken88 if you are 42 in the chore, can I ask what size you typically are in IH shirts? Thanks!

[NickD]

@paulmtg I'm also a 42 in the chore - I'm a medium in IH shirts. I own a couple of Ls but M would have been optimum.

[mecken88]

@paulmtg I’m typically a size Large in the shirts and denim jackets from Iron Heart.

My chest circumference is 102cm =40,15 inches.

I could have chosen the Y2 chore in a size 44 too if I wanted more room for layering. But for me and what I wanted the size 42 is snug and nice

[tvaillant75]

not an easy one to size this jacket.. It seems it has shrunken quite a bit when compared to your first pic.
I have a 44 coming but I am wondering if I should not asked TJ to send me a 46.. I am most of the times a XL in IH shirts/jackets

[mecken88]

@tvaillant75 yeah it ”shrunk” or formed quite significantly from being brand new.

At least in my experience. Because the slightly heavy/stiff horsehide the creases in the arms stay in place. They became shorter for sure. Even if the jacket just hanging on a hanger, the arms are slightly bend and the creases are there.
And the total length also formed to my body and kind of shrunk too. Not nearly as much as the arms. But it changed alot for me. So buying a horsehide jackets slightly snug to begin with, is potentially not the best idea.
Mine felt bigger in the beginning and form “smaller”. So it kind of became perfect for me.

I often wear it open, with a denim shirt or hoodie. I can’t wear both layer under, it’s then too tight and feel restricted. But I didn’t buy it for many layering.

TJ helped a ton for me figuring out the right size for me. He is very good to elaborate on sizes, ideas and any concerns. I would totally send him a DM
