    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Not today but my heavily modified Vanson B from JP saw some stage time not so long ago! One of the songs we did was "Steppenwolf - Born To Be Wild" which has associations with Vanson for me as the music video features scenes from the movie "Easy Rider" and Vanson does a version of that jacket...

    Wanted to go for a Vincent with the J-106 configuration but that was too pricy with all the "extras" like shoulder gussets, belt and epaulets. And a J-106 itself in 36 would have been too roomy. Aero has not done a 34 J-106 in 10 years and couldn't give me the numbers. Ended up not ordering...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Apart from the sleeve length (which seems tolerable, not awful by any means, especially considering the are zipped cuffs) the fit looks perfect to me. The upper sleeves might feel roomy, but it doesn't show visually if you ask me. Give some layering a go, see how it feels. My new LW with roomy...

    How's the kotr back for upper back mobility? Seems like a downgrade from the j-106 back as you loose on the "arms down and forward to tie you boots" direction? It does look gorgeous and I'm also seriously considering it. I'd go for black CXLSH this time to compare with my FQHH hooch hauler.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Thank you! I also think it looks pretty good, just feels weird. The combination of thinner, softer and rather stretchy leather and the roomier fit (mostly sleeves and lower torso) is unusual. And the leather color/finish is not something I would go for normally. But like I said, it might all...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Lightweight horsehide leather, don't event notice it when it's on. Rather spongy with a lot of give. Epic nylon lining. Pristine lining and zippers condition. Leather full of character, grain and some striations. Pigment dyed for sure. Super mobility, rather room in both body and sleeves, but...

    I'm very sorry to highjack this thread and my wife the center of attention, but here are a few shots with her waring other denim. My high waist pair, her higher waist pair that is too small, one of her favorite skirts.

    @Togs Leilah said it looks fantastic ("I wouldn't change a single thing") but also agrees that tapering in the waist (not the bottom hem) could potentially make it even better in terms of fit. My wife is easily pleased and has no strong opinion one way or the other (keep vs send back for a...

    Thank you for all the feedback! I understand that period correctness or adhering to the original is very important here on TFL and I totally go with that vibe. But let me CAREFULLY give a few counter arguments: 1 . This is already an abomination with a type 1 front (with the pocket on the wrong...

Adding some fit pics. Please share your thoughts on the fit! Current plan is to send back this stock jacket...

    Vanson Model E in size 44 in France for 300eu. https://www.vinted.fr/items/4834759771-blouson-cuir?referrer=catalog Light tan leather, rather rare I'd say.

    Fit check on Aero CXFQHH Cafe Racer

    Sleeve length (being too short) would make this jacket a no-go for me personally.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Still not wearing leather jackets much, mostly my Iron Heart Type 1 in indigo cavnas, but the weather finally seems to be getting cooler and I can enjoy a leather jacket a least in the mornings and evenings. Made this fun collage while seeing how my new pair of denim looks with my 3 jackets...

    Aero Hooch Hauler - Brown CXL FQHH - 2 month review

    Perhaps not so surprisingly the sleeves got shorter by quite a bit, wish I had ordered at least 0.5" longer sleeves. Would not mind another 0.5" in the body either. But otherwise I'm very happy with the fit, even if mobility is not impressive.
