IH-9527J - 21oz Denim Rider's Jacket - Superblack Non-Fade
-
I finally got around to wearing the jacket these last couple of days, and I love it. The 40 / Large is a really good fit for me when wearing a t-shirt and a medium weight hooded sweat underneath it. For the record, I am 192 cm (6'3") and a mighty 71 kg (156). Fit pics when I get around to it, my camera is busted at the moment.
This might be sacrilege and I would like to apologize in advance, but I will try to dye the fabric that the pocket is made from. Not big on colored details, no matter how tasteful it might be.
Are these warm enough to be worn in winter??
If you wear something underneath it, yes. Last winter, I wore my black Type III with a heavy wool commando sweater underneath it, and it worked fine unless it was snowing or below five degrees (Celsius). The fabric also holds up surprisingly well against water.

LOL I just moved from Indonesia to Perth so i thought this was cold! No problems with the jacket then
Well i just ordered one…Once it got to about 0 degrees..But never colder than that..

Hey folks,
Can anyone help, thinking of getting one of these (finally) but would like it snug but comfy, so in all measurements the XXXL looks right (XXL would be good but just right and not allow me to layer). There is one problem thouhg…
I'm worried about the sleeves! As far as I can tell from measurements they are a good 3-5cm too long, in comparisons to similar 'cafe racer' style jackets I have had or tried.
So, can anyone reassure me it'll be OK?

Yeah I'm sorry lad… It's just that I have 2 of these rider jackets (indigo and duck), and on both the sleeves are a tad too long (more so on the indigo), but honestly I could not give one fuck less... These jackets are, simply put, ART... Mindblowing... I love 'm to bits and can't wait for it to get colder so I can wear 'm!..
All in all: useless advice

Nooo…it's good advice! My reply was a more smiling "well, obviously!"
P.s. that last bit of the comment. The cotton is that substantial that you need it to get colder?! Nice!

The sleeves are long because it's designed to be worn while riding a motorcycle. If you are like me and don't ride, you can cuff the sleeves to make them approximately 2cm shorter. With this cuff, the sleeves fit perfectly. There is a pic of me somewhere in this thread demonstrating this.

I get that. My worry was that they are long, according to the measurements, compared to other bike jackets with long sleeves - I've had Dainese and Belstaff jackets both with shorter sleeves, though other measurements being slightly larger. But, it depends where the measurements are taken from I guess.

the sleeve roll . . .
rough & fast fit
less lip & more flicks

yeah, but i'm short as the curb & as wide as the block Reds. i'm pretty sure you are taller & slimmer than me, so i doubt your cuffs will look like mine . . . but if it does, at least the cuff doesn't make the fit look sloppy (to me at least) :).
*almost forgot you are one of the many new iron Heart Daddies this year, congrats if i didn't already say so.
