How did you size?
XXL, which is usually my size in westerns.

@DrBabyhorse that is a really great fit man! As you know I have the brown version, but have had my eye on the Selfedge version of this one…that black is so stunning!

Thanks guys! @Dstauffer I go to the thread for the brown one about once a day to see your pictures. I'm excited to break this bad boy in.

@DrBabyhorse Now that's a perfect fit. Nice shine on the leather also.

Great fit @DrBabyhorse ! I also wear XXLs in the Westerns but sized down to XL on this.
@Dstauffer - I have the SE version and I love it, wore it today in fact. Weather is getting warmer though so I'm trying to squeeze in as many days as possible before it starts blazing again.

Hey all, very strongly considering the SE version of this due to their longer arm/body length (which I need and matches the brown IH version of this which fits like a glove). Unfortunately no thread for that jacket so I figured it would be ok to post here.
@summ3rhays and @Manticore I know you both have the SE version, anyone else? Any feedback and pics on the fit anyone could share.
-
I have one, and I wasn't aware that the SE version was made any longer. In fact, the measurements for my size are actually shorter than the IH version according to Self Edge. It's a great jacket, but I'd choose it for the features rather than any potential difference in length. If that's your main concern though, you could ask for measurements of the longest SE jacket and the last remaining IH jacket and go from there.
-
And I would add that the IH version has pretty long sleeves.

@Dstauffer I don't think the measurements of the SE version are all that different, just the, pockets, lack of side zips, and the lining. The flannel lining may make it slightly warmer than the IH version but not sure. I got it primarily because of the side pockets. If the brown config was offered in black I'd get that also since I like the pockets AND side zips - unfortunate that SE chose to delete them.
I have fairly long arms and most of my leather jackets are MC jackets. The SE sleeves fit perfectly, just a tad long and perfect for riding.

Thanks for all the feedback fellas. I just re-checked the product measurements and it looks like the newest run of the IH version (I think it was released in March) has slightly longer arms. Previously the IH XXL was at like 26.5(ish) for arms and now its at 27. The SE XXL version is listed at 27.5 for arms. The brown version of this that I own has 27.5 arms, which I find to be perfect given my gorilla arms.
All that being said, I am a huge fan of the pockets on the SE version as well.
Appreciate all the feedback on this. Many thanks!

WTF
High school buddy is big a Billy Idol fan and bought a VIP package for his concert in Las Vegas, including this 'meet and great' photo op before the show. I specifically wore the IHJ-35 to the show (on an 80 degree day) to post the resulting pic in this thread. You're welcome…
edit: G, I had planned it as a joke for the forum, but the pic actually turned out great.

Badass shot there @Joule ! Love it.

Such a badass photo!
