IH-101J - 1946 101J Riders Jacket

The old brass ones rotate and rattle, and whilst they look cool, we think it will be better to have non-rattling buttons on it.

Yes they do big time but I kind of like it. Looking forward to see the copper ones too.

@Giles:

We got the sample today. It looks amazing in the 18oz vintage denim. The sample is made with the brass tack buttons, but I think we will change to copper. The old brass ones rotate and rattle, and whilst they look cool, we think it will be better to have non-rattling buttons on it.

If you can have a small batch made with the original brass buttons that would be great. It's really what seals the deal for me. Looking forward to more updates on this.

2+ years by now–zero washes. My first and still most-loved IH piece! My only concern is that the fabric at the elbows is wearing really thin (see close-up), and I'm worried I'll have holes in them before long. Can these be reinforced or something like that, @Giles?

Oaktavia

@Lowlander jacket is looking amazing dude. I ended up selling mine bc I have grown to large for it. Love the fades on yours!!!

Lowlander

Thanks @Oaktavia! I'm sorry you had to sell yours, though I've seen you in the replacement (the 19 is LHT right?), which looked really good. Do you stil have that type 2 I saw you in or did you get rid of that too?

You are correct and the 19oz Lefty I absolutely love it- I see you have one as well. We must have the same taste!.

Oh yes I still have the type II indigo/indigo but have not worn it since the Lefty came in. I'll wear them both this fall. For now, I will wear the Lefty until it is too warm.

@Lowlander jacket looks amazing man! Chesson who deals with the repairs and reinforcement is off on annual leave for the next week. I am sure he will be able to add some reinforcement to the sleeves but I am not sure how easy it is to access those areas on the darning machine. I will make a note for him to get back to you with some firm details when he is back

Lowlander

Excellent! Thanks a lot @AdamC!

Any update or timeline?

Currently scheduled for the middle of July…..

Can’t wait! Is it the same vintage denim used in some of the other denim?

Giles

We only make one type of 18oz vintage denim

:face palm:

That’s what I figured. Looking forward to this!

Lowlander

Saw this hanging on my coat rack, had to take a pic. I love this jacket and this denim.

Lowlander

Though I don't look it, I am very happy to be wearing this jacket again, after it has had some expert repairs done to the elbows by @JoshC (thank you again, Josh!).

A little closer:

@Lowlander cool progress dude!

Lowlander

Thanks man. I really love this jacket. It's my first IH piece and still my favorite.

Few years late to the game but just scored one in Grailed. Fit check? Also it’s a bit tight in the chest and elbows. It should stretch in those areas, yeah?
