Reminds me of:

Found a photo of my old pair of 634S on my phone which I no longer wear (but still have) ever since converting to exclusively wearing 888s:

A cozy fleece jacket (I edited the photo of an existing green Patagonia jacket below as a mock-up/example to illustrate what I mean):

• turquoise like the IHSH-287-TUR
• high pile fleece
• double vertical zippers, zipped side pockets, inside pockets, two way zippers
• full cream, black or orange hardware contrast details

It's apparently been four years with this one...

Sat down and made a tutorial video explaining how to fix a pulled thread / snag in (Sashiko) fabric. Hope it'll help others!

(Also produced my own soundtrack to prevent any music-related copyright issues )

@cityofdelusion 0.8mm suede brown horsehide? Couldn't resist, so here we are.

And here's a bad quality fit photo:

Added another gem to my collection

Paired with 888-SBG and GAH ring.

IHJ-138, 888D & Bleu de Chauffe

To be continued...

I love how every time I go on my own profile, my "best post" (most upvoted post) on the forum is shown as me comparing the Iron Heart Rubber Coin Case to the Babybel cheese:

Dropped them off at the optician today to get dark blue sunglasses lenses with strength (prescription) installed. Decided that dark blue with 85% tint level is the best for every day and holiday purposes. Will post a photo of them when they're back. In two weeks that is....

@flannel-slut How dare you forget me...

See also one of my earlier reviews regarding the IHJ-79 (cited below) and refer to my posts before that in the same thread if you need more details:

@cityofdelusion said in IHJ-79-BLK - Primaloft Gold Quilted Riders Jacket - Black:

As it stands, the takeaway from my experiences and trials for anyone who might go through the same dilemma as I did whether to get the next size up is: If the armpit and/or the upper arm area is tight, it can be fixed by going for a size up as long as you think you'll be fine with the slightly increased overall length of the jacket and the sleeve length. Sounds obvious, but since those problem areas will only marginally relax with the next size up (which is because of the pattern and design of the jacket), only do this if you really want this jacket and think you'll end up obsessing if you don't have it.

@flannel-slut And if - as in your case, if I recall correctly - the midsection/opening is too baggy..... drink more beer? No, but in all seriousness, wearing your Primaloft vest could prevent having additional bulk in the armpit area while increasing the bulk needed in the midsection/opening areas. Double Primaloft FTW I guess

To add to the above post since it's been a while and give a TL;DR:

Sizing up and at the same time making sure that the overall length and sleeve length aren't too long compared to your "ideal size" (this can be achieved by asking the IH crew to pick a jacket with specific measurements/dimensions) fixes the problem.

Just received these Ichikawas - bargained and bought them second-hand for slightly under 400€.

Today is a good day.

@Kasi These are my favorites as well even though I don't own any (yet). They're super cool and match your general style well!

Edited to add that there aren't many photos of these on the internet which is unfortunate. I appreciate your contribution.

@Kasi Do you still have your Ichikawa? What are your thoughts? Got some more photos you could share with us?

It's here - my custom order 1.0-1.1mm Single Legend (Cafe Racer) Jacket:

Words aren't enough right now, to describe how thrilled I am with how my custom jacket turned out to be... So I will come back to this thread when I have the right words to describe how amazing this jacket is...

Note: The size is NOT custom - it's a stock size 38. The only custom changes are hardware and leather related.

There's something really calming about used silver on wooden surfaces.

Cool - since it has been mentioned before, take my repetition of @T4920 's idea as a vote in favor. Generally, since I make all of my suggestions independent of previous discussions, past decisions or the possibility of them being implemented and since I don't expect any of the things I suggest to ever be produced in the first place, I won't get disappointed if they don't - I'll just try to find the best possible alternative.
