IHJ-129-BRN - Japanese Horsehide Riders Jacket - Brown

[flannel slut]

It feels good on which is what is causing most of the indecisiveness. The sleeves actually don’t look too bad and hold around my wrists when zippered up (immediately unzipped to avoid setting any creases). Being leather (and a little bit vain), I’m willing to sacrifice some of that comfort for a sleeker fit.

I personally don’t think it looks too big. Maybe a tad, but it’ll be nice to have the medium on hand for comparison. I almost always go for just a tee under a leather jacket, so if that’s the case for you, the smaller size might be the way to go. I’d be especially mindful of the shoulders — if the bi-swing gussets are really maxed out when you make a hugging motion, that could be something that gets stressed out over time.

Absurdly long sleeves have always been my biggest gripe about IH jackets — I think you’ll run into that issue no matter what size you get.

@ARNC @popvulture thanks for weighing in guys! Reshoot incoming later this week

@flannel-slut I have drawn circles around the areas that will be fixed by sizing down and makes the jacket look too big on you. The back picture is really bad as you can see how much extra material there is and also gives you excess material in the front chest area.

[popvulture]

Ah I didn’t see that back pic. Definitely looking too big there.

[pechelman]

yup, exactly @goosehd . Also can see the extra material bunching up above the two chest pockets. Assuming the medium can zip up over your hips/waist, I think you'll be much happier.

@goosehd my dude, good stuff

Horse is feeling pretty snug over a serge western, but still is super comfy.

@flannel-slut has your new size arrived yet?

[flannel slut]

@tody looking good sir! Going to take longer than anticipated to receive the replacement. Thought it was coming in with an order I received yesterday but doing an exchange instead.
