Took me three attempts to finally list this. Every time I put I on I don’t want to let it go. This is seriously the nicest horsehide I have ever handled. Thick, substantial yet totally pliable and much softer to the touch than say the Shinki jackets I have tried.

The jacket Is cut pretty tight with relatively long sleeves. It still wears phenomenally. Range of motion is perfect due to a clever underarm construction. Leather is teacore but still jet black. More info to be found on IH’s homepage.
One thing: the leather has chipped off at one place at the hem (left side, front). You can easily see it on the pictures. It’s been there from early on, and is not “spreading”, but I thought I’d better mention it. Other than that condition is pretty pristine I’d say.

Asking EUR 850 (plus shipping outside EU)

P2P: 22,2”
Shoulder: 18,9”
Sleeves: 27,9” (around the curve)
Back: 26,2”

The hem can be adjusted at will, due to two vertical zippers at the sides.

Very cool jacket!

What height/weight/general build are you?

I am 183cm and 85kg. I have average shoulders but quite a chest, so I usually need a P2P of 23,5” in most patterns.
This is has a genius underarm construction, so movement is totally easy despite the jacket being cut very slim.

Okay, so would you say it wears larger than a 22" chest normally would? That's right on the borderline for me. I am tempted to try it though just because it looks so damn good.

What size do you normally wear IH in? I have one of their western shirts in a large which fits pretty well.

Most of my IH´s are size "L". In Western Shirts and UHF Flannels, I recently upped to "XL". Work-Shirts are still pretty much perfect in "L".
If "L" shirts are good for you, the jacket will probably fit.

The P2P on this one is slightly confusing to me too. As I said, I am normally comfortable with 1-1,5" more which is quite a lot. With this one (and with Thedi, btw) I seem to get away with less.
