IHJ-155-BLK - Horsehide Suede Modified Type III Jacket - Black

[tvaillant75]

Interested in it but find the sleeve length really long, even for IH standard (up to 1-2 inch more than their denim counterparts). Do you guys know if it's a leather thing, e.g. expected to crease more and therefore a longer sleeve length is needed to account for that?
Basically I want to know if I will loose the extra inch with creases down the road?
Thanks!

The sleeves will crease for sure, I am not sure if they will stack up more than a thick denim, but perhaps. I would expect similar to a 21oz Type III in tems of stacking, but i have never owned a leather type iii, so I cannot say for certain

I wonder if @goosehd’s initial experience with the sleeves on his 156 might be enlightening as it’s the same leather.

@ARNC Thanks for tagging me:

I don’t know how much this leather will stack as it is very soft and pliable. Here is my jacket with about 5 hours of wear so far.

[goosehd]

Given that bit of info, I have never had a leather garment not stack with time.

I laugh when I remember @Filthy2123ozjunkie talking about wanting to touch his denim as he liked the way it felt...I feel the same about this leather. Just an unbelievable feel in hand.

Vik wears XS

where did that XS come from

[AdamJ]

@louisbosco typo! have amended

[Buckeye]

Did anyone size down in this from their typical IH type 3 sizing?

[ARNC]

@Buckeye, I did (we know it’s about measurements not tag size, and the L measurements in this aligned with the measurements for my existing type IIIs in XL). I think it worked for me and I hope it does for you (assuming you managed to order one).

Mine is now here and everyone was right about the look, the smell and the feel of the leather, and the sleeves don’t feel as long as the measurements suggest. It will leave little bits of black fluff on whatever you wear underneath, but I expect that won’t last.

Pics will have to wait. If I get out of the office tonight before the light goes I have more time-sensitive pics to take.

[louisbosco]

have to wait. flight from Germany was delayed and it's a long weekend..

also couldn't size down even if I wanted to..

I really like this one but can anyone explain why this costs approximately 1000 more than the split steer type 3?

[goosehd]

@Ton horsehide is generally more expensive as it takes longer to tan and is not as readily available as steer being the most significant factor.
