    German motorcycle gear

    Thanks and yes if corduroy works then 800g should too, I’m guessing Greg’s recommendation was based on lining weight he was used to and didn’t want to recommend something he hasn’t used just in case, I’ll double check with Greg before ordering and have a back up if the material gives him...

    German motorcycle gear

    Marc, in your opinion from your German jackets, do you think that the 800g Moleskin which MrProper linked could be used in a modern jacket? I was thinking about just the body and then using a Cupro/Bemberg or satin type fabric for the sleeves.

    FS: Lost Worlds Easy Rider HH Jacket 42

    Man someone was pretty rough with that main zipper, that’s a NOS Scovill #10 and it literally looks like a kid or someone that is just ignorant to the way things work, just ended up forcing that zipper. Due to the shipping cost, I wonder if there is a way to replace the zipper by hand using the...

    Noob sizing question, comparing Schott to Aero/Vanson/Real Mccoy

    I like that, funny I’ve been on their site a thousand times and haven’t caught this model. It has a very vintage vibe to me because even before I joined the board I saw so many Brooks racers on eBay

    German motorcycle gear

    Moleskin I’m hoping someone European might be following this thread based on its origins and possibly might know where they can source a true made in Germany Moleskin. I mostly find Italian Moleskin which I’m sure is great but I get fanatical about these type of things, I’ve even tried...

    German motorcycle gear

    Is it common for moleskin to hold up so well in a lining? I know it is considered a very durable fabric but is this just an extraordinary example handed with care?

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

    That Navy looks great with that black sheep and giant Crown zipper. Is it 3oz or 4oz you chose on this one?

    Leather jacket custom ordering

    Man that looks AMAZING from where I am sitting. That is perfect sleeve length for riding, for me anyway. It’s trim and tailored without being too tight, tight works great for some but not all, really just personal preference but in my opinion that jacket is built for the real world. Length is...

    Custom Langlitz experiences?

    I just can’t grasp this, you would think they would have a great system for this with their long history. I would send a jacket in to them if taking the plunge I really like mock up jacket fit system that Field Leather uses and can’t wait to see how it works for me. I do wonder if it would...

    I rewatched it and now see that, thank you. I wonder if lost worlds was able to do it the correct way.

    Custom Langlitz experiences?

    They are on my bucket list too, one of their simplest designs like the Timberline. Maybe one day when the wait time is lower, I think it’s at 13 months now, or atleast according to the website. Can the OP use measurements from a similarly styled existing jacket?

    German motorcycle gear

    I can’t believe this jacket has such tight, straight and impossibly close to the edge stitching. I’d expect nothing less out of 1930’s Germany. Amazing to see more European vintage clothing

    Himel Bros Imperial Fit

    That is such a great combo, the fit on that jacket is how I want my a future half belt to be, tailored but not tight and they can throw in a car like that I’d be happy.

    Himel Bros Imperial Fit

    I think he will work with you. It seems like he wants to make the best he can. Say what you will about the man, he lives and breathes jackets and vintage clothing in general and one look at that jacket and you see the chest pocket is on the shoulder and the half belt sits where your pants hem...

    Thinking about Lost Worlds.. thoughts, experiences?

    I like it too and after watching the newest Himel Bros YouTube video on their Beck 333, apparently these types of belts are difficult to make and require you to stitch 2 layers of leather inside out and he has to make a tool to reach in through the belt to pull the inside to the outside. Prices...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Yes we were on the same page, I understood exactly, I love the Beck 666 for a counterpart to the traditional Buco design. I definitely did post about that design many of times and mulled over purchasing the Toys McCoy version in their max size of 44 because the measurements always seemed so...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Thank you, I do like that look as I like cafe racers of all kinds. $699, great deal so I emailed them for measurements. Now that I’ve learned about full jacket measurements, I have to request them if they don’t have a proper size chart including the infamous bottom hem measurement which can...

    Thinking about Lost Worlds.. thoughts, experiences?

    funny it’s exactly what I learned from my searching the forum. Funny too because all have their strong points in the market for different reasons and all have made jackets that look great on one person or another. Crown Zippers, to the LW owners out there, are they really as smooth as people say?

    It is, and if he had a quote to go along with it “this is mens porn, real porn, none of that shaved bush crap people watch these days, men with mustaches and women with big hair, big boobs and no asses”

    Thinking about Lost Worlds.. thoughts, experiences?

    Then Jmax is larger and shorter and he has some great ones he posted so I’m wondering if they paid the extra fee for alteration But because I’m 5’9” I was thinking of one day contacting him to see if any models would match my height and size.
