IHJ-54-BLK - Japanese Horsehide Rider's Jacket with Collar - Black (Tea-Core Dye
-
@den1mhead I wish it was a keeper that's for sure!!!!
-
I LOVE this piece. Favorite leather yet. As a non-rider, the cafe racer and double-breasted styles are too "rider" for me; I'd feel like a poseur wearing one. The collar really makes this a versatile piece.
Kudos!
And @AdamJ , oughta keep that thing.

Will this be available in XXXXL ?
-
I’ve never owned a leather jacket before. Would you recommend just going with your IH type 3 size? The measurements look pretty similar.
-
I don’t need this. But I want it.
Copped.
Damn/thank you for the heads-up @Giles !
The IHJ-35 is my best-fitting leather jacket according to the wife so hopefully she will see the bright side of this decision… if not then it’s been nice knowing all of you.

@Manticore You won't regret it!

This might not help @Bulatik85 but i mean to. I am usually between sizes, a bit up from Giles, often by one size but very close. I had a long Clockwork Orange night staring at the numbers (you know, in a good way, add Steve Van Zandt intonation here) and came up with XL. I'm figuring that the slightly broader shoulders gives a wee bit more room. So I went with the XL. Also, how many layers do you want to wear underneath. More than a two IH layers is a lot of clothes–-and I live in a VERY cold place. If it's too small, I will come back here to explain. Good news is that there are more in the size up if it comes to that.

Well this arrived today and it more than meets my expectations. A truly beautiful jacket.
While the XL size chart comparison with the IHJ-35 is almost identical, it definitely feels snugger through the P2P and waist. The shoulders and sleeves fit beautifully. I'm not going to fit a UHF underneath (and wouldn't look as hawt as @AdamJ anyway) but a IHTL-1501 should work well. So while I won't be layering much with this, overall it presents a very tailored appearance with just a mid-weight t-shirt.
Size-wise I am in the same category as @profdbrk - vacillate between XL and XXL jackets. I wear an XXL in the IH-9527J Rider's Jacket; other than the sleeve length, it mostly mirrors the XL in both the IHJ-54 and IHJ-35.
As always, thank you to the Stubborn Crew for fantastic service!
