IHJ-54-BLK - Japanese Horsehide Rider's Jacket with Collar - Black (Tea-Core Dye

[DrPat]

Shoulders and length are perfect. The sleeves are designed to be long so I don’t see any problem there. The chest also looks good. The only thing I could criticize is that the opening around your waist looks a bit wide wide in the frontal shot with the thermal but that could be because the photo is small and dark.

[Giles]

Possibly a tad large. But once it settles, and gets a little less stiff, it'll look better.....

I’d be curious to see what the next size down looks like. IMHO, this is something I’d wear with a tee only, so I’d want a snug fit. YMMV

[Daniel San]

I would Size down , looks too big .

[JunkPants]

Very nice jacket
I'd probably size down in this case, seems a bit big overall I'd say.
It can be hard to size leather jackets in my experience, and you can't really mold/stretch/shrink them like denim. And sometimes what looks like a great fit in pictures may be too tight to be practical in real life.

Size down camp and the arms are pleated to give you more reach if needed.

[pechelman]

Thanks everyone. I've got the size down coming for comparison.

@pechelman Interested in pics when you receive it and love to know your thoughts.

I've got my money on the L being the way. With leather jackets, especially black ones with that rock n' roll-y vibe, I feel that trim as possible while still maintaining mobility / comfort is the ideal. I think you'll still have room in the shoulders and chest, plus the areas right now that look a little too big (bottom opening, sleeves, overall length) will get in the right range for you.

[pechelman]

The bottom is hem is being a bit flared out partly because it's a skosh big, but also because it sits lower on my shorter torso so is being pushed out by whatever hips are there. In this case, I think the gussets actually exacerbate this because of the excess fabric bunched up here.

What a great look @pechelman

Sizing down is a good idea unless you want to exclusively wear it over a long sleeve + UHF

Looking forward to see pics of the L!

[pechelman]

hopefully you'll have a partner soon to help "spam" this thread

[weftyarn]

I’m sure it’s not only me who will be happy about that

[indigostiff]

@pechelman Too big. It doesn't give off a cool vibe.

[pechelman]

Size down arrived and think this is an easy decision.

Over a tee and 12oz wabby. Side shot is with the jacket zipped. Can see tension around then hem for sure.

Over a tee, same deal with it being zipped in the side

@pechelman I think it looks great on you, the skin molds to the body quite easily, after some time you'll be able to layer even more if you want.

[doubletee]

Love it man looks killer

[Brandrea]

@pechelman much better, congratulations!

[weftyarn]

Yup, that’s perfect @pechelman
Now please thrash the hell out of it (and spam spam this thread!)
