IHAL-01 - Horse Hide Cafe Racer with Collar

[zatenm]

@Giles:

We have now made it the same as IH sizing.

I am an L in IH shirts.  I will now be an L in IHAL Jackets.

But I will need the long version (which is special order), not the regular version (which is what we will hold in stock)

Understood, much appreciated

@Giles:

(I know because I irritated Will this morning when I changed the sizing…....)

How many curse words were shouted your way?..

Will there be a size small 36?

I am not getting any Small made at the moment, but:

@Giles:

Any size you want (within reason)…..

[superfuzz]

Ok cool. I'll trying to figure out my sizing once the measurements are posted. Thanks G!

I was wondering the same… I'm really paranoid about my sleeves being the right length. Seems to always be a major issue and not sure how much to compensate for once the creasing sets in. Really want to pull the trigger on one but just want to make sure it's right after dropping 2k on a himel I can't use anymore

Oops just saw g posted it's the same as shirts. Still worried about sleeves though

[Giles]

Tat, I sent you how to measure instructions and the first post says "Any size you want (within reason)…..", why are you worrying?

[tatmantall]

Like I said, I'm worried about the crease bringing the sleeve to much, or sizing too long. I'm sure I'm over thinking it and worrying for no reason but I've just had bad luck with sleeves on jackets.. Feels like a curse.. Me and my monkey arms..

[Giles]

Is that not the same issue for everyone?  The only difference is you start with longer sleeves.  If in doubt, size too long, it's easy to shorten….

[tatmantall]

Ahh… Did not know shortening was a possibility. In the past had spoke to another jacket maker who had told me sizing too long was not feasibly "fixable" when he questioned the length of my spec which in turn made me bail. I was fairly certain of my size but then started doubting my self.

Sorry to be a pain.

[Giles]

Ask Friday how his turned out.  We took a couple of inches off the length the arms of his cafe racer for him…..

[tatmantall]

Will do. Thanks giles

[Friday]

It turned out GREAT!!! They did a very good job on mine..

Tat, which himel is it and what size? Do you still have it? I have a friend who's been looking for a used himel..

[tatmantall]

In class at the moment will PM you the details this evening

[Giles]

Given you still have the Himel, working out arm length for the IHAL should not be too difficult…..

[samnz]

Wow i might need one of these in my life

How do these compare in sizing to the IH-9527J, I have a 44 which is pretty close to bang on for me.

[Giles]

From the website:

• We try to keep most of the more popular sizes in stock.  We can, of course, do other sizes to order, lead time will normally be 2 weeks or so.  Please contact us to discuss

• NB: Please note that we only have size M (38) made and measured as yet.  Other sizes are being made at the moment and the sizing chart will be updated as soon as we have the other sizes to hand. “Model” (Giles) will wear size L (40).  Giles is 6" 2" with a 42" chest. 33" waist and weighs 190lbs

So basically, I don't know, but it doesn't matter

[tatmantall]

Soooo ready
