      @Appfaff, that actually was helpful.  Thank you. Think we have similar body types.  That jacket is developing very nicely.  Looks the perfect length and fit.

      @Manticore, seen your photo posts. The jacket looks great on you.  Think I might be edging closer to the IH version.

      Just gotta sell off some things I've not been wearing and then I can pick up this one.  I won't yet call the IHJ-54 black my dream jacket but it has potential.  Appreciate the prospect of not having to go "all in" with a custom jacket to own a high quality jacket that fits me properly.

        The more time I spend on here (which is quite a lot,) the more I keep looking at this jacket…. the more I think about YOLO-ing my income tax refund into this jacket. It is coincidentally about the same amount as the price of this jacket. I think maybe it is a sign?

          Definitely a sign. Frankly I'm surprised the IRS didn't just mail you an IH voucher instead.

            Any idea of a restock on the XXXXL?

              It's going to be a few months I am afraid, we need to sell a few more before we feel comfortable committing to a minimum run….

                Hiii Guys !!! I'm new to this forum, i just own two Iron hearts products actually, the 526L still unworn and in my closet since 1 year with 6-7 others denim jackets from others brands waiting for my momotaro to be retired to start a new one, and here is the Selfedge edition i have received today, it looks maybe a bit small in picture, maybe due to the angle but i feel like its the right size for me, i just love it !!! 😎 Its comfortable with a tee zipped and unzipped, comfortable with a tee + light shirt unzipped, cannot wear a hoodie under it, i guess some will say +1 size would be better but i dont want to have extra long sleeves covering half my fingers ^^

                  In my opinion I would size up would be better, then it your choice how you like it

                      You just wear it casually or you plan to ride in it? For riding I would size up, for casual wear, me personally, I would size up as well but you need to feel comfortable and it doesn't look weird the way it is.

                          I will only wear it for casual wear, not even sure i will wear it zipped, most part of the time i never zip anything, almost… 😉

                          Here are maybe better shots from a better angle and not too close. I need to find a brown horsehide jacket now  ::) Some recommendations ?

                          I was thinking exactly the same about you all for years before i took my credit card 2 weeks ago 😃 😃 😃 But i'm just kind of happy just watching you guys wearing amazing stuff without having the items for me and keeping in mind i could be on the other side one day 🙂

                            I think leather jackets like this one need a good snugly fit. They don't look good when too roomy. The leather stretches here and there with wear and moulds to your body… looking sharp, I wouldn't size up.

                              It looks too small in the front zipped shot.  The width of your torso looks much smaller than the width of your lower body here.  I can’t tell where your belt buckle is because of your t shirt, but it also appears that the jacket lies quite a bit above the buckle.

                              Other views look pretty good.  But I would also size up one.

                              I’ve also got the self edge version.  It’s not loose at all but I can easily wear it with a UHF.  Also, the sleeves are designed to end a few inches past the wrist.

                                But I think it looks good, especially if just for casual wear and not riding. Mine fits the same way in terms of layers but you seem a bit taller than I so the jacket comes up slightly shorter. But still a great casual look!

                                  The length is ok for me and the jacket cover 2/3 of the belt, i always wear my jeans a bit loose that's why, you are right about the upper part of the torso a bit tight on me, 1 inch more on the chest would have been great :o I will use this jacket as a kind of spring / summer jacket with tee's (summer is cool in France so leather can be ok) and the natural simmons bilt i have ordered today +1 size for autumn / winter with layers underneath (winter is not that cold in France so leather + hoodie should be fine), so things are settled 😉 Thanks all for your kind advices it helped me a lot to take the good size for my new jacket  😉
