I want to report that this jacket is amazingly warm. I live in Chicago and this keeps me warm in 20F degree weather. I was not expecting that. This can truly be a year round jacket.

Holy cow! This jacket is incredible. Bought the SE version, and my mind is blown. That flannel liner is so sweet.

Just slightly more dry than before. I have owned it for about three to four years now. I haven’t done anything in terms of maintenance so wasn’t sure if I need to?

In terms of maintenance on the rough out leather. What is the best way to moisturize the leather if it is starting to feel dry? Any product or method recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks!

@Transporter amazing summary! The split steer being warmer is a nice benefit over the horsehide. Thanks!

In terms of rugged durability is the horsehide leather rider jacket more or less durable than the split steerhide type III jacket?

If UH flannels fit me well in a large, should I go with a large in this jacket? Thanks

If I measure a size 32 waist using the IH method. Should I size down in these to a 31 to factor in stretching?

Also, could you wear boots with the hem?
