IHAL-01 - Horse Hide Cafe Racer with Collar

[samnz]

Went into a pub on Sunday evening wearing my one of these. Hung it on the back of the chair half an hour later when  i got up to leave I picked it up. The weight had pulled the back of the chair off the frame. This is one bad ass jacket.

I thought about taking the back of the chair as a trophy to send in to Giles but decided the establishment wouldn't see the funny side.

Hahaha…

I applaud your ambition. People stop me in the street to compliment mine.

Found these cool pics on one of the JP blogs of a brown in action:

yap, great pics of a great jacket…even though the model doesn't look that comfortable posing in front off the cam!
he's trying a bit too hard imo

picked one of these up in the sale.  Havent been this excited about a new item of clothing in a long time.

[Giles]

And we're excited to be making you a custom fit….

Great combinations on the burgundy and brown. Very eye catching.

Remaining stock sent to @Kentaurus to go into the Iron Heart Pop-up…

Bye, bye! … I hate this jacket - one of my biggest mispurchasings  ::)

[daynym]

What´s wrong with it. It think it is a great cut? Got the size wrong?

[Finkster]

^ the size was o.k. .. but too heavy / stiff / uncomfy - for my taste. (Not my first horsehide J. - by the way)

But - that's my opinion

[Dion]

Too heavy and stiff sounds badass! Will it ever return or is the IHJ-35 its replacement??

[Giles]

They may return.  In the meantime they are available from Kentaurus.  These and the IHJ-35 are very different animals.  Just had a customer visit us, who has the IHAL-01, he has ordered an IHJ-35…

Anyone able to measure a 42/XL sleeve length for me? Is it dead on 25.5 or little longer? On the fence with ordering one.

Could anyone tell me how the sleeve pullback is when reaching straight forward? I would be using this on the bike all the time and don't want to have a sleeve going past my wrist really. Thanks!

@Giles - if the XXL in the IHJ-37 is perfect for me in terms of length of the body (it measures 28") would I be better off getting a "Long" version (in XXL) of this since the length is 26" on the standard?  I already consider the 37 to be a "short" jacket in terms of length… Or am I being dumb and this (IHAL-01) is designed to be shorter than a standard jacket.  How much longer are the "long" versions or is that simply custom based on the buyer?  Thanks,  Adam

[Giles]

It is meant to be a short jacket.  I would have thought the standard XXL would work on you.
