@Brandrea my leather jacket fits good. It’s a size 46 and my RJ1 is an XL so the fits are very similar. I will say the leather jacket is a bit smaller though around the chest. It’s my first leather jacket and I’ve read that it’s normal for them to be a little tight at first. It’s not uncomfortably snug though. I would recommend their leather jackets all day. The fit and finish is second to none

Thank you so much for this, great information.

Sounds like you and I wear the same size as I’m also an XL RJ1 wearer. I was thinking the 46 in leather might do the trick.

Great looking jacket on you, congrats!

I haven’t made a purchase in a bit and I’ve been specifically looking for something like this all year. I really need them to get their sizing a bit more standardized or offer the range of size.

The xl wells I have fits pretty solid so I went with xl Dayton as it looks like it should be relaxed (even though the shoulder seems to run a little smaller than usual)

Should be here this week.

@iammortalcombat nice man! Looks like a great shirt.

[Brandrea]

@iammortalcombat looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Congratulations!

We got in a few heater pieces from the fellas at Freenote Cloth this week.

The waxed RJ-1 in Tumbleweed w/ a very sick red Southwestern printed cotton liner and satin sleeves.

Then the 11oz Benson Heavy Flannel in a beautiful Picante color.

I'm a huge fan of Freenote Cloth shirts. I don't own any of their pants but their heavy flannels are fantastic. The Benson I have is really heavy and warm. They can be picked up on sale quite often which makes them a steal. They are an excellent value at full price but IIRC I picked this up for under $200 USD.... This pic was taken on a cold day here in Pennsylvania US and I was perfectly comfortable all day, even when riding horses.

I just purchased a pair of Wilkes in Kaihara 14.5 denim, very interesting construction for jeans with the double stitch outer and inner leg seams. Look forward to seeing how they fade

@SaddleSC we got some snow today and dropped down to 19f. Perfect weather for this bad boy. Must have been all the good vibes we sent this jackets way!

[Choko]

@Mizmazzle dope jacket man! Freenotes quality is so good. I love what they’re doing. I’m sure that thing is crazy warm with the fur

[Mizmazzle]

@Choko it’s so plush dude! I’ve been waiting since May to break it back out again!!

[edgarallanpoe]

Just picked this one up today...took advantage of Franklin & Poe's BF sale which includes items already on sale. Shirt was around $150usd...wow. The color on this is just stunning in person. This was a steal....

[SaddleSC]

@Mizmazzle That looks amazing!!! I can't wait for mine to be delivered...tt definitely looks up to the task in the snow...love it...thanks for posting that pic!

Love this Freenote jacket. The quality is unreal and the fabric is so unique. Should keep me warm this winter

[Mizmazzle]

@travisxray that jacket is sick man!! What kind of fabric is that? Love how Freenote can add all that plush lining but still keep the jacket so trim fitting. Pretty incredible.

[travisxray]

@Mizmazzle It’s a 15 ounce pigment dyed fabric. Almost has a waxed canvas type feel but it’s not waxed. It’s really impressive in person. It’s “black” but has a almost faded color that makes it go with literally anything.

[travisxray]

@Mizmazzle and yeah the fit is nice! This is a medium and it fits very well. For being so insulated it really does stay super trim fitting.

@SaddleSC I’m stoked to have another forum member rocking this jacket. It’s always cool to get pumped on another members fade progress. Case in point the Lefty Trucker thread. Mad heads raging that one! Got mine on as I type this chillin on the couch. Not really possible in the RJ2 haha

Thanks! It is always fun to share new pieces with other IH brothers! How long have you had the Lefty Trucker? Is yours OD or non-OD?

I recently bought the OD version fo the Lefty and it is surprisingly a very wearable beast of a jacket...I am loving it so far! I am also trying to break in a IHSH-293 18oz OD CPO shirt...so every night my hands are stained blue and I am loving it.

I also grabbed one of the new IH A2 Deck Jackets so I look forward to comparing it to the both the RJ2 and the N1...exciting times!

[Mizmazzle]

@SaddleSC really curious to see what you think of the RJ2 in comparison to the N1. I’d love to pick up an N1 someday. Not sure if these two fill the same need. But when has “need” ever mattered to the jacket obsessed??
