IH-101J - 1946 101J Riders Jacket
-
give it a wash. it should soften up… it did with mine..
-
Any hope of a black version of this, maybe with slightly slimmer arms?
-
Here are the pre and post measurements of the sample 101J i've been wearing for a while….it's an XL.
It's just had it's first wash since the initial soak so i'll grab some more measurements and photos and add them soon.
@Winchy I'm confused… Page says one-washed so little shrinkage, but this seems like a huge amount of shrinkage.
Am I remembering correctly that these used to be sold raw and your post is referencing those olden days?
Should one expect that the current iteration will not shrink nearly this much? -
Hi @TaBLemann
That's correct, the sample I was given was raw so will have had more shrinkage left in it. The current one-washed version won't have that much shrinkage in them at all.

Hey all! Just had this arrive yesterday and so far love it! Fit is perfect!
I was wondering two things, though:
1.) are the buttons on these supposed to jiggle/rattle? It's my first IH jacket (but not my last), and definitely not my first IH product, and that has never been the case on my other buys. Not bad or annoying; just struck me as different. If it's IH, I know they'all last.
2.). How much did your once-washed jackets shrink on subsequent wash? The fit on mine is perfect, but I've always washed for max shrink, and not sure if I want to do that with this one.
Thanks in advance! Hope to have fit pics soon!

Thanks Giles!
I figured the buttons were meant to move–it wasn't anything like flimsy construction at all. Shit, this jacket will likely outlive me!
I noticed that there should be little to no shrinkage in the product description, but is there any general idea on how much specifically? Like a percentage or range (i.e.; "0.2 to 0.6 inches in the sleeve") or anything like that?
Thanks for my new favorite jacket! Been eyeing this for months and it didn't disappoint, and I had unreasonable expectations! It looks great with my PIH5DCT and purple western!

Got this in the Advent sale. Here with the ISHS-93, IH-634S-B and IHV-02-blk.

thanks @Dion

Here it is at St Andrews, an hour from home. I've worn it a lot since I got it in December and it's slowly showing some light fades in the wrinkles.

Great combo @wdw - IH denim jacket and a woolen roll neck is always a winner imo.
-
Thanks guys. The roll neck is an Outdoor Knitwear Woolly Pully, surprisingly cheap, with a long sleeve t-shirt underneath. I find that combo underneath allows me to wear IH denim jackets in fairly low temps. Today, when these were taken, it was about 4ºC plus some wind chill, and I didn't feel at all cold.
