IHJ-35-BLK - Japanese Horsehide Rider’s Jacket - Black (Tea-Core Dyed)

[Manticore]

Arrived late today so only got to try it on at home. A beautiful jacket and the fit is excellent given the style with the minor exception that the sleeves could be 0.5-1 inch shorter. The flannel lining is the perfect weight - hope to see the same in the brown version also.

Perhaps I missed it but I never read what the leather thickness is on these jackets - can someone confirm? It feels comparable to approximately 2.5-3oz.

Will once you have worn it for a week or 2

Won't happen.  I'm afraid H and I prefer a twill lining in this type of jacket

You did not miss it because we have never said what it is because we don't know…..What I do know is that H selected it to do a job (he would have selected by feel not a spec sheet) and do it well, that's good enough for me....

Copy that Giles, thank you for the responses. I must say I really appreciate your level of engagement on the forum!

I also wish I had found IH sooner. My wallet may not agree. Perhaps I should get a new oxblood cordovan wallet to put the current one in its place…

[Giles]

I would

[Chris]

Only way to teach that wallet who's boss is to let it know it can be replaced.

[Giles]

Now endangered I am afraid.

[Broark]

Does this mean the brown version is up in the air or are we still going to see a sample of it?

[Giles]

No, that's 100% happening…..

[Broark]

Good news. 

[Dion]

Really looking forward to how the brown one turns out to be!

@Giles:

There was indeed a 46 made.  I've just checked with H that we can make a 46 in the brown collared version…Will still have both chest pockets. Flannel lining - possibly......

@Giles Do you know if there will be any 46s in Monday's delivery?

[Giles]

IHJ-54 is the model number for the brown version with collar.  There will be 2 size 46 arriving on Monday….

[Dstauffer]

Perfect! I'll direct further inquiries to that thread. Thanks for the update!!

[Giles]

That thread will not exist until I get some images…...

[Dstauffer]

Good point…I'll wait till then

[superfuzz]

Haha! I went looking for the thread!

[Giles]

XXXL stocked for the first time….

[Dstauffer]

Those XXXL measurements make me sooo happy!

This thread needs more pics so I can live vicariously through you guys. I'm hoping there is still a XXL this summer when I can afford one.

Glad I was able to grab one of these.  The horsehide is impeccable.  So thick, so heavy, a bit stiff at first like all thick leather but it softens up nicely after wear.
