    Leather jacket sizing, too big or small?

    this size looks good, and looks better in proportion, it's up to the wearer then some people like oversize fit.

    Leather jacket sizing, too big or small?

    it fits fine, it doesn't look too big on the shoulder and on the neck hole, but both sleeve and body looks a bit long like seen on the distance between the chest pocket to the coin pocket and also less tapering, so maybe it's the style since the designer brand, and perhaps that's how it should...

    High Rise Jeans

    I saw a jeans washing video from my country, they poured detergent powder dry on sprayed wet jeans, and then use stiff bristle brush to rub the granulated detergent powder on the jeans until dissolved into foam, no wonder the jeans are quickly fading, it's like sand scrubbing on every wash, and...

    High Rise Jeans

    sanforized still shrinks, those people or manufacturer who claim sanforized jeans will not shrink are LIARS , they shrink vertically more than they shrink horizontally, I have jeans than was sanforized and I can wear with 1 small cuff before soaking, and went high water after a wash some 3...

    5years owing all heavy weight raw denim I don't plan to add anything over my only 3 pairs, and I don't know about fades yet, mine despite non frequent washes, lets say once every 3months of constant wearing, hasn't seen any fades yet let alone the sick variants. honestly I don't pursue fades...

    Do Goatskin Jackets Mold to the Body like Horsehide?

    goatskin is soft, and tend to "unlearn" its creases when you don't wear it for awhile, unlike firmer leather that memorize their creases.

    High Rise Jeans

    its about body type, my waistline is narrow 176cm 56kilos I'm built like concentration camp victim, if I were to get a highrise pants I need size 26 perhaps, but it will not pass though my pelvic bone, so I will stay with 28 or 29, and then the waistline will sag to where it usually sits because...

    New budget M-65 Field Jacket?

    color and pattern wise I like your brandit, the helikon might be using better material, but the shoulder is pulling , you can see diagonal line from your neck toward the armpost, I think the sleeve on the helikon is too spreading and since you downsize it, then the shoulder line which is...

    its unique, the drawstring puller on the outside, no triangle sleeve end flap, buttoned cuff, and no action back, is this a proto m65?

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    nice fit, do you cinch the waist a bit? using the waist cord a bit make the jacket looks more lived in and less square instantly

    Long (double) Riders?

    maybe it is more inspired by military tunic than a rider jacket, it looks OK when zipped and belted, I don't think cutting the hem benefit anything, but I think having 2 way zipper is better, because I think it looks better with higher splay.

    Interesting denim jackets?

    Type 2 is more balanced than type 1 imo, that 4 different pockets coat is more chorecoat than denim jacket, probably better in blue fabric perhaps canvas etc, unnecessary in denim. Imo

    Recommendations for men's dress shoes?

    double monkstrap still works with leather jacket & jeans, my only formal shoes is wholecut made by local company, yet I very rarely wear it because it doesn't work with everyday style, so to me monkstrap or double monkstrap is the way to go

    New budget M-65 Field Jacket?

    the thing is we rarely wear loose fit pants or baggy pants like combat trousers on the lower half, so if the jacket appear too baggy it contrasts too much with neater fitting pants making your overall silhouette top heavy, if you wear fuller leg jeans or straight leg pants then a original...

    New budget M-65 Field Jacket?

    statham's jacket there seems more easier to crease and fit him nicely than original might fit him, perhaps stallone in rambo 1 wore original and how long and roomy it fit him there , and the sans epaulette version is very rare in original version especially in his right size and pristine...
