West Ride Iron Heart Thermal Reflex Insulated Jacket, size L (fits M/L)

For sale here is a jacket from the Westride label, one of a good number of Japanese brands that are strongly influenced by vintage Americana. Where Westride is different is that they’re primarily a motorcycle label (the name is probably a good indication), a particular subset of the “American casual” family of brands, much in the same vein as Iron Heart, Buco and Black Sign, among others. Probably the closest peer for Westride is Iron Heart actually, where both labels use very heavy fabrics, producing at an extremely high level of quality. Westride have a reasonably strong following in Japan, yet for some reason they appear to have almost no international distribution at the moment.Size is labeled a large, fitting in between a standard medium and large in my opinion, like a somewhat loose medium or a somewhat slim large. I measure the chest at 21.5”, shoulders at 18”, length at 31” from the base of the neck, and sleeves at 25” from the shoulder. The jacket comes in lightly used shape, with just a small stain in white on the back. This is not especially visible in person, but noted in the interest of full disclosure. Otherwise no holes, tears or stains. Made in Japan.
