If I were these industry guys, just go for the calf skin version of YSL
In reality it was probably given to him to wear as most don’t even buy their own clothes for tv appearances, stylists say here, wear this
Looks great, leather looks incredible, it looks as stiff as new cxl.
The two color/thread stitching is a cool idea. Their Jean production must have given then the idea.
just for reference, what is your chest circumference?
If I’m thinking of the same jacket it seems rare, I’ve only seen it on one Japanese YouTube video with stacks of vintage leather jackets
Then there have been some vinyl ones on eBay lately
Yes you said it, sometimes the leather the Becks used had a cheap looking coating, almost look like...
I must be the only one that likes this style of CR as this Beck 666 has been re listed many times. People must not like the shape compared to the more simplistic designs like J100. I’m stating to think I have bad taste...
Is this the infamous diamond Dave which made custom jackets for a while back?
If so this looks like an exceptionally well finished rendition of his work
This is literally the most tempting jacket for me. It’s nearly identical to the measurements of my custom Himel Kensington but wider shoulders and hem, shoulders needed to be wider anyway.
This is the only off the rack jacket that in theory should fit my short 5’9” bulky frame
I hate this was...
That and factor in shoulder width which can affect how a sleeve ends.
Plus read your posts in the five star thread with the diagrams on measurements if going custom from them.
Makes perfect sense. Combine that with the language barrier in asking for measurements of the actual jacket and the reluctance of many shops to sell directly and requiring a proxy I can definitely see your point in buying used as most of these jackets are in near new condition anyway.
Thank you for the photo.
Now I’m doubting where I read sizing for a 44 because the few places that I’ve seen this only went up to a size 42 on the charts. On the charts the 42 was 57cm or 22.441 inches for pit to pit and the measurement went up in 2cm increments from size 36 to 42. This is a...
Are you sure about the chest measurement?
Sites list it at 59cm or 23.23” pit to pit.
I think it always helps prospective customers to see the measurements in photos with a soft tailor tape if you have one.
That way we can see how they are measured because there are so many different...
I guess you can see if it shapes up with time, I would think he would be willing to adjust it for you if you bought directly. Selling would be quite a loss on custom jackets.
I do wonder with your slim build if you could go off the rack if you wanted another jacket. It’s easier if you are...
I am measuring a variety of my jeans now trying to see what size I will need
Im still shocked that he made the jacket with no fit jacket or mock up. I do think a mock up might be easier but would add to the cost, maybe out if vinyl because of the similar properties to leather.
100% agree, the...
I thought it over but I worry about the fit. I’m chicken leg guy in that photo but there are times where my quadriceps gain 2-3” so I have been going with stretch with a relaxed taper.
I really would like to try a pair of reasonably priced selvedge denim. Open to recommendations
*edit; I see...
You read my mind. That is what I most worried about, 8” drop scared me because I feared it wouldn’t follow my body and possibly too tight on the upper or mid back.
I have plenty of room in the hem but in a future build I have toyed with the idea of a cafe racer that goes in at the abdomen but...
A had a good board to read and you honestly helped me on sizing with your detailed measurement diagrams you shared
Thank you, means a lot coming from you. Your knowledge on jackets helped me.
I feel like it would be an insult to the board if I didn’t share after learning a little bit. I know...
