IHJ-125-BLK - Sheepskin Modified Type III Jacket - Black

[konadog]

I tried on this jacket at Self Edge yesterday. Wow, it's amazing. I need a 44 and sizing doesn't go that high else I would probably be purchasing it.

Would like to second @doubletee question and ask if this jacket is expected to fade at all?

[Mizmazzle]

@AdamJ
How does this compare to the split steer? Is this one a lot lighter? Or just a little lighter? Looking for a suede type 3. But the split steer seems like it’s a beefcake of a piece. Like to find something easy to wear.

[AdamJ]

@Mizmazzle It's a little bit lighter and the leather is more supple

[jackbrochill]

Echoing @J-IV here and would love to know anything about cleaning but also general care. the split steer seems indestructible but this one feels like something you should avoid wearing in the rain (though maybe not as delicate as typical suede).

[Alex]

I would treat it the same as our split steer..

[jackbrochill]

@Alex great, thank you! Would you recommend any kind of suede waterproofer on it like saphir invulner? Or is the juice not worth the squeeze?

Would be happy to treat it just to make any rain/errant beverage less of an issue but if it’s not needed then don’t what to muck up the texture or anything with treatment.

[Alex]

I would not personally bother, as they are dark in colour. If it was natural I may consider something.

[Chaintitch]

@Alex when is the brown coming?

[Alex]

@Chaintitch not a bad idea, but I think the leather may have been super limited so I don't know how easy a rerun / new colour would be

[Chaintitch]

NOOO!!!?!!!

I need this in my life. So. Badly.

Finally pulled the trigger on this sexy bitch. I had an IHJ-49 when first launched but eventually sold it, always thinking I would get another but sized down. And then this beauty showed up. Much better fit with my current wardrobe also.

Thanks @JamesB for the sizing assist!

[Manticore]

Well damn, this is spectacular.

[doubletee]

@Manticore looks awesome man congrats

[JamesB]

@Manticore No Worries! Always happy to help

[Luca79]

Is this one shorter than the IHJ-49? From the size chart it looks like it's around 3cm shorter but I guess they are about the same, no?

[Ross]

@Luca79 as always, the size charts dont lie - but they are broadly similar as they follow the same pattern

[thread.and.steel]

Will this be restocked?

[Graham]

No plans I am afraid. But never say never.

[thread.and.steel]

@Graham That's unfortunate. I love the split steer but it's probably too thick for a California winter.
