Thank you @Max Power .

I was inspired by @Eisenherz and @Chesson ’s pics today to wear my IHJ 35. Mine is the Self Edge variant, with side pockets but no side zips. Pimped with a GAH snap cap
Chesson’s cool pic with the new snow UHF got me thinking of something similar to wear under it. The closest I could get was my IHSH 91. An IH groundbreaking shirt…the first work shirt with snaps! I love it.
Last pic is to show that I have finally learned how to control my tripod mounted SLR from my phone…pick where it should focus....no more composing, firing, running and standing still in 10 seconds. You’ll have to bear with the ‘small print but forgot my reading glasses’ attitude from now on.

Great fit too

That looks fantastic and the fit is smack. The Good Art pimp is just the right amount of subtlety. How does the Good Art button install? Can you explain how that works?
I love this jacket more everyday.
Cheers!

Thanks for your comments @Powerband I like my jackets a bit looser than many on the forum. I’ll take some pics this week with the jacket zipped up so you can better judge fit for yourself.
The snap caps are very easy. They just snap onto the male snaps which come installed in the jacket’s collar. There are two male snaps so you can use one for the cap and the other one when you close up the collar strap.
There are several snap cap designs…

Do it, this is a superb jacket.

A great look @motojobobo . I also have the same combo of SE jacket and Good Art snap cap. It is my wife’s favorite of all my leather jackets so I wear it often, lol.

I had the SE version but sold it because it was just slightly too large for me, and I’ve moved on to other jackets like those from Fine Creek & Co., Aero and Johnson. But the quality and hand-feel of the IHJ-35 horsehide keeps haunting my dreams.
Last night, before laying down to bed for what would have been another fitful night of sleep, I ordered the last size small on the website.
I had the deepest, dreamless sleep I’ve ever had in a while.
Hopefully the jacket lands in a few days.

That is good news @Powerband . I look forward to your fit pics. Remember to also get the GAH snaps for it…

Haha! The GAH snap is one of the driving reasons I reordered this jacket! [emoji1]

Good news. This is one of those rare jackets that has to be handled and thrown on the back to understand its significance. I had the SE version (but regretfully sold it), so I truly appreciate the quality of this IHJ-35. Can’t wait for the delivery of my second one.

Nice fit.
Also for me the most comfortable Rider jacket.
Enjoy this hammer piece. -

I have an old friend who's done a lot for me (and others) over the years and is damn hard to surprise with anything. However, a few years back I caught him giving the side-eye to my 9527J riders jacket and I got him one as a present. I guessed on sizing, turned out perfect, and he's been wearing it nonstop.
Well, I wore my IHJ-35 to an event a few weeks back that he was hosting and he asked to try it on. Knowing that he would never get it for himself, I gifted him one (since I already knew the correct size). Very happy that I not only was able to hook my buddy up but now am slowly helping him build his IH wardrobe. He just picked up some 634s also.
