@m4xime Hamilton Khaki or Traska Summiteer for me. There's lots options in that category though.

So yesterday I had only seen it in the evening at home and it definitely looks more like retailer shots in good lighting.

Still slightly darker than i had imagined but i think thats just my obsessive nature causing the initial concern more than anything.

Looking forward to rocking this piece at every oppurtunity

@Shaun

Thanks for the help guys, sounds like it could be a mixture of it being slightly darker than previous runs and the fact its brand new with a thick layer of fresh wax. Here's part of the response I've had form the retailer I purchased from:

"In regards to the colour the good news is the colour will lighten up. It's at its darkest as the wax is sitting on the surface and creating a shadow layer on the tobacco colourway.
Like Selvedge denim with wear the jacket will mould to your body and your body heat will also allow the wax to sink into the cotton canvas."

Going to stick with it as I like the color either way and I have faith it will lighten up. Will post pictures later still.

In any case, fantastic jacket!

Hi fellas

I have just received a riders jacket in tobacco, it is an amazing jacket and I couldn't be more happy with the fit. Every detail on it is as described and what I was hoping for...

Except the color! It is much darker than in any photos I can find online from Freenote themselves, the retailer I purchased from, all other retailers and here/reddit etc.

I actually do like the color but it's just not what I was expecting, it is a lot darker and almost has a khaki hue to it. Having said that my partner is convinced it looks nicer than the color in pictures

Has anyone else experienced this? This is my first waxed jacket so I am not too sure what to expect over time could it just be that it has maybe a bit more wax than normal and might lighten up?

I forgot to get pics of it last night when I tried it on so will add some here when I get home from work this evening.

D'oh!

Is there a pocket on the rear?

@freepickin killing it

@SamD oh man, you guys went and made the exact bag I have been hoping for.

@rimaarts theres a 25oz vest

A belated thanks to @Fades-for-future for my primaloft muffler, item is as new condition and communication was great throughout!

Been using mine for about 6 months now and the leather is starting to pick up some real nice character. Stitching is good as new.

Its the perfect sleek little card holder, fits in IH shirt pockets with ease. I carry 2 cards in each inside slot and 1 on the outside.

@CosmoSix5 nailed the fit on the 292

Going forward will all work shirts including this one have the new 4 hole buttons?

@jdwaid yeah I do check from time to time, pretty confident I would need a large which so far I have not seen one for sale. Also I'm in the UK and not too keen on getting one from overseas.

There was a large on eBay from Japan a while ago but it had a tear in it and according to the description "smelt strongly of tobacco" so I decided to pass on that particular one!

Waiting on delivery of a Primaloft muffler that I managed to pick up in the for sale section of this forum. Hopefully one day I can also get hold of one of these to go with it!

Messaged regarding the Ihg-097-blk
