Leather jacket fit check!

Maybe it’s the hood itself that creates a slightly different fit or feel.

My Iron Heart collarless zip is the same weight as my hoodies at 14oz, which is about as heavy weight as I’ve seen.

I like to wear this one under my leather jackets. I believe it was created for riders to layer under a jacket (I could be wrong about that).

Wearing cotton on a bike is really not the best idea...
It's not warm at all compared to wool, and if it gets wet (sweat or rain) you are going to be even colder.

IMO the whole "designed for riders" is IH marketing.
Not saying that as a bad thing, i wear their jeans everyday, but they love to overplay the "riding gear" thing.

You could be right about “IH Marketing” … I’m relatively new to the brand and to all this type of clothing honestly.

I guess I posted this particular piece for the OP’s benefit. It’s basically an IH 14oz Hoodie without the hood and it was intended to be used under a jacket while riding.

It may be something he chooses to look at as an alternative, (not that he asked).

Hi All,

Thanks for all the reply. I’ve ended up with Mccoy’s Nelson as it’s a size 40 and I know for a fact size 40 is a perfect size for me.
