    leather jackets with a still-reasonable used market?

    I think Stuart explicitly said that the private label/made for Japan stuff is inferior quality. I think he got fed up with cost constraints that working for private label entails, and ditched that business model, which allowed him to focus on quality.

    Cross zip nation

    That's funny! Can you imagine feeling rebellious in your cross-zip on a subway or a bus and someone offers you their seat? Oh horror, oh horror.

    Jacket Collecting - Ever ask why?

    I loved jackets since I was about 15. Started with an M-65 and a Navy olive drab duffel bag. Trying to shove it in the Communist's faces in Iron Curtain Poland. It was a statement, rebellion at that time. Am 66 now. Not trying to shove it into anybody's face anymore, and no M-65, but still kind...

    Great jacket, great framing of the photo with the "sunrise" beams on top and horizontal beams on bottom.

    Opinions needed on an RMC J-24 fit

    Yes, the shoulders look like they could be ever so slightly more filled in the area of the shoulder seam, but the overall fit looks very good. I'd say you're good to go. A size smaller might be too tight.

    Vintage Herm's Leathertogs- Epaulets on a Cafe Racer?

    I love these slanted chest pockets. Passaic took them to extreme; almost vertical. My Bates has them slanted as well, more like @KBlake 's Herm's. The Herm's CR I saw had epaulets, which I was not crazy about. This one is a cross between Bates and HD Sportster - a good looking child!

    Lost Worlds CHP HorseHide Jacket

    LW thread or stitching are not the hill I would die on. If you are in a failure prevention state of mind, focus on the zipper. NOS Crown, while quite expensive, is so reliable, cool and rare, that I, a card-carrying cheapskate, would not hesitate to spend major coin on.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I think it can be safely shortened a bit. Will have better proportions actually.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    ^^ It is eerie to look at weather forecast in late October and see 10 sunny days in a row in Poland. Feels like a different country.

    Herm's Leathertogs is pretty rare. Good to hear it is quality hide. Looking forward to pics as well.

    Celebrities jackets

    Bunching of the leather on her back matches the bunching of the trash bag perfectly.

    The Deck Jacket thread.

    I have a sinking feeling that given my addictive personality, N-1s could become my next rabbit hole. Like all addicts, I started small, a 99 quid Silverman's N-1. I like the timeless, simple design of the N-1. I would prefer them a bit fitted, not boxy. So what is everyone's favorite N-1?

    Spiegel. Different light, later same day. 20C. I do not remember such September and October weather in Poland. Who needs Florida? Lol.

    Iron Heart brown horsehide riders jacket (ihj-129) fit check

    40 looks like a great fit. I would be nervous if I felt the 38 under my armpits - it may loosen with time or it may not. I'd go with a 40 - it looks great. Can you post pics of the back and side? Edit - I realized these were taken in the store, so you may not have other pics. Never mind.
