I‘ve been looking at leather jackets for far too long and finally settled on this PR-65. It‘s my personal favourite jacket layout and doesn‘t make me feel like I should get a motorcycle. Yet. It‘s also pretty simple at the back, there are no adjusters of any kind.

I actually sent this back to Cultizm after it first came, felt like the jacket was wearing me even though it‘s ‚light weight‘ after I returned it, instant regret set in and after some encouraging words from @FlavourFade I asked Cultizm to send it back to me which they did free of charge. Champs right there!

I went with a 40 which is my regular size, don‘t plan to layer it much besides a shirt. Happy to hear what you all think of the fit; personally I am happy, it‘s pretty rigid but I know it‘ll get softer and less shiny. I know to layer heavy stuff under I would need a 42, but I have an N1 so I don‘t think it‘s needed.

This is my first time posting so fit pics so don’t judge too hard. I had to set the timer up and use my front camera from a low angle…I guess this is the angle my children see

The new flyers club Jacket is a M, fits really well and I took a picture of the lining which now has some insulation.

Hello, I thought about doing this for a while but never did. I am Tim and I'm South African but I have been living in Hamburg with my family for nearly 8 years. We moved here for work, not the weather, but the weather does give me a chance to wear some great stuff including many items from Iron Heart. I've been a fan of Iron Heart for a few years and I've slowly been building up a nice collection but I haven't really posted on the forum much, I've been lurking in the shadows until @goosehd convinced me to start posting. Please direct you complaints directly to @goosehd

Thanks for having me and please try not to make anything really cool for a while.

Just wanted to share some TFH appreciation: I had been looking for a storm rider jacket for years and I tried a lot of different versions and remakes. Then last year TFH release their version and it‘s, to my taste, perfect.

Getting the chance to wear it again and I couldn‘t be happier!

Getting to really enjoy the autumn now! So glad I kept this PR-65.

@Brandrea @Mizmazzle They were great, I emailed them and they spoke to their production and came back to me today with a shipping label and asked me to send it back to them to repair.

Hats off to Dehen, they did good. Their stuff is great and I'm happy to see they also fix defects without a question.

I love the lining on this jacket, sometimes I just spend some time looking at it

@AdamJ I didn‘t even last to the end of the day I wrote about this jacket…

Bonus! This waxed canvas I have is so thick, look how the sleeves hold their shape. If you tap on it, it sounds like it‘s solid

Blanket Lined Duck Canvas Jacket

Hello!

I have been a fan of the forum and IH for years and I have many great items which I am absolutely loving. I have waited in the shadows for a particular jacket for a few years but I have never seen it. I now feel compelled to ask about this jacket and I am really curious to know why IH doesn't do something like this.

The jacket I so love is a blanket lined duck canvas jacket (brown, black or blue). I had the original Carhartt Detroit but the fit is not on point for me. I currently own the Carhartt WIP version which is, in my opinion, a really nice interpretation of the original jacket. However, it's modernized for the masses and is somewhat 'streetware' which means it has some short comings.

I searched the forum but I could not find a topic like this so here it is:
Would IH ever make, or has IH ever made, a blanket lined duck canvas jacket with a corduroy collar. I do own the whipcord jacket which has the cord collar and ventile lining which absolutely rips (IHJ-61), but it's not warm enough for Hamburg.

Since you asked for my opinion, I would say that jacket (IHJ-61) without the button at the hem, and perhaps with a single slit breast pocket, made from the 17oz duck canvas and lined with the blanket lining from the 101J in both black and brown would mean I will likely never ever take it off ever again. I'll show myself out now.

Thanks!

@mecken88 I feel you! I‘m holding out that one pops up somehow in my size on the second hand market here. They are all awesome!

@goosehd thank you for your extremely fast and effective solution

@indigostiff how did these age?

Picked up the made in Germany Spezial and they are really good. The inside is also actually leather, no fabric backing. I picked them up on a sale, totally worth it!

Bringing this one back to life.

I have two items from Benzak and their attention to detail and the fit is awesome. I have this flannel lined rider jacket, and it‘s so good. The jacket is all european made, including the fabrics, which is fairly rare I would say, and look at the two different selvedge colours for the Dutch and Italian football teams!

They made this in a duck canvas too, anyone have one?

@FlavourFade thank you!

@FlavourFade I don‘t want to give mine up either since I also use them as my house shoes too, but I‘ve noticed over the years that my feet got slighlty larger (apparently this is normal) and the birks I had are too narrow now. Sized up to my normal size on the new ones. Planning on keeping these long term.
