This jacket is the shit!!

Wow that look is awesome!
BTW, what boots are those? They are perfectly in place with the rugged but refined feel.

@Luca79 thanks! The boots are the Viberg Pachena Bays. Excellent hiking boots.

@Mizmazzle What is your typical sleeve length?

I wear a L in virtually all of my IH shirts, so I'm thinking I want a L in this jacket. The sleeve length is pretty crazy, though. I have kinda long arms, so maybe the L will work. Even the Medium has a long sleeve length, but for me, a little too long is better than a sleeve that rides up when you reach across a table. Thanks!

@singletrack Hey man. My prefered sleeve length is 25.5 give or take...
The sleeves on my split steer were really long, and you're right, they are long across all sizes on this jacket. I had my sleeves shortened because they were just way too long for my preference. After I had them altered, the jacket was absolute perfection.

[singletrack]

@Mizmazzle Well, I'm about where you are. 25-26" (or 34" in a dress shirt) is my general sleeve length. I'll have to think on this one and see if we have someone local that I would trust to alter. Thanks for the quick reply!

[Mizmazzle]

@singletrack If you're curious you can read back in this thread a ways..I documented the whole journey of getting the jacket and finding a furrier to do the alteration.

I got to see these at Self Edge the other day. They are beautiful! And the leather is so soft. What a jacket!

@Danimal506 Its so rock and roll badass!

Hey everyone! I’m loving the look and feel of my new split steer, but the dye transfer is really bad. Does anyone have any experience with this? I’m wearing it with just a tee today and my hands and neck are covered in black dye transfer.

[Daniel San]

strange , I had the black one too and no transfer at all ….

[seawolf]

@Daniel-San it’s really bad.

@seawolf I had the same problem, don't wear anything white and give your skin that touches it a good wash afterwards. I was left with a very black neck line ,apart from that it is an amazing jacket enjoy.

[seawolf]

@gazza61 thanks. How long does it keep rubbing off?

[gazza61]

Can't help there I've only worn it three times I have a lot of jackets.

[Mizmazzle]

Mine shed some dye when I first got it onto a white tee...but didn't notice much more transfer after that...though I never wore another white shirt with it since.
Granted, mine was lightly used when I bought it, so hard to say exactly how much wear was required for it to stop. I've worn mine a bunch at this point and haven't noticed any transfer of dye for quite a while now....
Also, the tanning, chemical smell from the leather is 95% gone.
