OK, now I am with you. Thanks for the context.

So occasionally we update zips from production run to another, but only (to my knowledge) when we lose access to the original zip (Talon/YKK on some work pants, for eg in the past)

The latest batch (and for as long as I can recall, at least 2020 onwards) all have used YKK, so I suspect anyone using imagery / copy referencing Waldes either has old stock, or just has not updated their websites

Ah gotcha thanks so much!

I had edited my original message, one last question.

-The ykk models have zipper on right side as opposed to Waldes on left. What is the reasoning behind that? As I noticed all my other jackets (from Europe and Asia) usually have zipper on left as well.

You are really testing the limits of my zip expertise here, I am afraid

@Alex haha I like the small intricate details of brands like IH. Sorry for such specific questions

Boooooooom Dennis @goosehd
That’s what I call a perfect fit

It was one of my first IH purchases from years ago. I have too many jackets to wear it all of the time, but do love it. It’s my go to riding jacket.

Brand new shots of this classic jacket; Courtney swagger an additional bonus.

@Nick glad I’m not the only one to hide the zipper rings under the flaps

[tody]

@LacZed75 Doing the same on my brown version as well!

Yay or nay on the fit? It fits me like a GLOVE, don’t feel restricted but also at the same time I’ve always worn looser jackets. No plans to ride, generally will be worn unzipped. Looks pretty fresh but not much wiggle room. The light hoodie under is doable and can be zipped but definitely filling it out. Anything I should be thinking about before I make a decision?

@sloanranger Looks great over the T-shirt; I you’re able to justify an ‘over a T-shirt’ leather jacket, then I’d say go for it.

@sloanranger NAILED the fit. That is exactly how a rider's jacket should fit. Sleeve length is spot on, shoulders are fitting good. That's a keeper!
