Classic workwear-inspired style meets reinforced protection in the Hanten Armored Riding Shirt.

Inspired by the traditional Japanese hanten jacket, the NORU Hanten Armored Riding Shirt blends everyday comfort with rider-focused protection. Much like the flannel shirts worn by Western workers, the hanten became known for its balance of warmth, durability, and casual versatility. NORU carries that same spirit forward with a riding shirt designed for cool-weather rides, daily commutes, and laid-back miles. 

Constructed from hand-washed 100% cotton check-pattern fabric, the Hanten delivers a soft, broken-in feel with reinforced Aramid panels in key impact zones including the shoulders, elbows, and back. CE-certified Armanox armor at the shoulders and elbows adds lightweight impact protection without compromising comfort or mobility. A snap-front design backed by a full-length zipper helps keep the shirt secure while riding, while mesh lining and wrist vent zippers improve airflow when temperatures rise. Finished with multiple storage pockets and a compartment for optional back armor, the Hanten combines timeless styling with practical riding functionality.

We checked the sizing of this style with our Fit Check mannequins Huey and Dewey. They are wearing size Medium and XL jackets respectively. These are their “usual” sizes and they work just fine. We also checked the chest and belly of the other sizes and find them to fit OK too. Therefore, we recommend you choose the size you normally wear in men’s clothing. if you are between sizes, choosing down is probably the best move.

The overall fit of this hoodie is relaxed compared to other US brands, which is to say, roomy through the torso with a relaxed fit. If you are slim and tall, you may need to size down one size from what you normally wear. Average or stout built people will probably be happy with the overall cut.

You can also choose a size by measuring your chest and belly and using the chart (below) which lists max chest and max belly sizes for each hoodie size. The measurements in the chart are a combination of the manufacturer’s size chart and also the measurements we take on the product samples. After you measure, you can choose a hoodie size using the chart. You’ll want to choose a size that will accommodate both your chest and belly.
