Double Helix Works “Innovator” black horsehide size 38 - $675 shipped

[Ron86]

I just posted about this jacket in Outerwears and after doing the measurements have concluded that it will not work for me. It’s labeled size 40 but the measurements indicate it’s a slim 38. I am typically 40 in leather jackets and this is unquestionably at least 1 size too small.

It’s basically a Buco J-24 repro pattern. Gorgeous Japanese horsehide. Excellent condition with some teacore at the high wear areas.

$675 shipped CONUS.

P2P: 19.5”
Shoulder: 16.5”
Hem: 18.5”
Sleeve: 24.2”

Of course fit is a personal taste. If it were me I would wear it open most of the time. It looks great on you. One size larger and the sleeves will be too long

Thank you. Knowing the kind of person I am, I just know that every time I wear it I'll always be questioning the fit. I'd rather sell it to somebody who will enjoy it fully.

Nice jacket, basically a Flat Head Delraiser for 1/4 the price

Thank you! Yeah its gonna be a tad too tight for me as Im same height, but 165 lbs with chest 37/38.
Those japanses styles are so slim and too short for my taste. GLWS!

Sounds like it'll likely be a solid fit for you? You are 2.5/3" less chest and 15lbs lighter

You’re a size XL/42 in JP sizing, typically. Maybe 1 more size up actually.

I’m at 5’9, 38” chest, 155 lbs and I’m a size L/40 in JP sizing.

I think it's brand dependent but generally yes. Rainbow Country Hercules sz 40 is actually a good fit on me.

possibly but the back length at 24 inches is definitely a no go. my incoming aero j106 has a back length of 25.25 and my 689HH is 24.5 so 24 is much too short for my taste.

I actually prefer a short length for cross zip jackets. More accurate to the style historically
