This has turned into my go-to winter mid layer.

Finally picked one up after stalling for a while.

Quick update on the jacket - patina develops fast on this one.

I’ve worn mine in the rain several times with no issues. Conditioned it once. We’re talking light rain or intermittent rain - not a downpour. The first few stains and scuffs bothered me - but they’ve all faded.

Updated pics for anyone interested in the restock.

Picked up a Campus Stud before the price increase. Was hesitant about the measurements, but it feels great. Like having the extra space in the arms - makes it really easy to wear and good mobility.

Anyone planning on using mustang paste on their jacket? It’s darkening up nicely on its own - will be curious how it looks after a couple months.

My V2 Wills Jacket from 2022

I would have it sent to Simmons Bilt for repairs. I’ve had them do repairs through IH, and it’s pretty quick and they do a good job in fixing any issues.
I put scarring and holes in two separate categories, I wouldn’t want holes on any garment.

Thank you!
Size A - 16 link. Wrist is approx. 18cm, no issues with it being unexpectedly loose. Fits the same as other bracelets (+2cm from wrist size/2 fingers under band) - it just moves around more than other bracelets with the weight.

Thank you for the feedback guys!
I’ll post some pics once I get it more broken in.

Don’t know if it’s been mentioned, but would love to see an IH Leather chore jacket. There’s some different pocket configurations that would look good (dump pockets, zip and or snaps). Brown or natural horsehide or cowhide with less polish on it. Bi-swing shoulders.
Something that’s functional and wears nice.

I liked the vouchers only because it would nudge me to buy some pieces that I was sitting on the fence on. The timing worked that it was mainly used on items that weren’t high demand or FW drops. Not a big deal without them, but it was definitely motivation to buy more or try out different pieces.

@Buckeye Did not notice anything unusual on mine, but my wife did not like the smell.

Anyone have one of these? Curious how it ages and looks after some wear.
