IHAL-J100 - Iron Heart/Alexander Leathers J100

[Giles]

I will get the webpage up next week.  It will include ordering info.  They will only be available through IHUK.

However we will be using the Alexander Leathers measuring system which is here

So if you want to jump the gun, hit me up….

G, why the non leather piece back the arms zip? As the GK jacket for ex. has.
Excuse the approx. english vocabular.

J100's typically do not have a gusset (that is the V of leather you normally find behind the cuff zips).  I decided that I preferred it without and it is a hell of a lot comfier without.  What you see in the pic is the red lining…

Really nice G, kudos. A perfect blend of the J100 with a total IHxAL twist.

F*ck me with the fat end of a rag-man's trumpet! That is one nice jacket. First Goatzilla, then this! Stop it!

Q. Can you make it with a traditional collar as opposed to the mandarin type?

Cheers.

It was a really simple curiosity. As you'd understood for sure;)
That is one nice jacket^!! Oh yes!!

This surprises me, I think I've seen sleeve gussets on at least some vintage J100s.

Either way, this is a magnificent beast that outdoes the original.

OK.  Let me modify my position to.  "Most J100's that I like do not have a gusset".  That's probably a bit more accurate…

Everything is possible, but I'd prefer not to do that, and just point you in the direction of a black GK….

Side pockets non zipped.
Possible? Acceptable?

NB'd G.
I was all over that brown GK, then bam! A whack to the solar-plexus, the J100 sticks its napper above the parapet! Decisions, decisions.  :-\

Cheers.

@Giles:

Late next week or the week after, we should see a Natural Essex Sample jacket.  Soon thereafter, the red….

Very curious to see this one.

[Giles]

If you are not careful, I'll be wearing it in Portland…..

The length of this one is much better then the length of the last prototype.

Another contender for the free J-100 slot in my closet. I would prefere sleeve gussets though. I allways wear my sleeve zips open and would hate to expose my forearms all the time. 

[mclaincausey]

I'm a gusset guy too, but I love the contrast. So just make the gussets out of the red leather eh?

[Giles]

You'll need to look somewhere else then I am afraid.  This one comes with no gussets…...

[zatenm]

Would the Essex be too far off from this?
