    Goodwear Ventura Size 40

    You want to stretch it all the way out. It's not seam to seam. It's the edge of the leather to edge of the leather if that makes sense.

    Goodwear Ventura Size 40

    You think so? 3ven the latest measurement looks like 20.25-20.5 at most.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Both construction quality and pattern. Poor stitching quality especially. The patterns still are too long and too skinny in the chest. They look atrocious on me especially. I know a lot of people like Schott so I don't want to be too rude, but I could never see myself paying money for a modern...

    That Schott is really gorgeous, but even 1k is a lot for a Schott IMO. I went to their store in New York this summer and their MiUSA stuff still disappoints me

    Goodwear Ventura Size 40

    Sadly the p2p is only 20 which is definitely too small. 21.5-22 is my ideal and 21 is my bare minimum. It's a shame because I want this jacket

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    That's at least a third guy gone then because neither of the two guys I mentioned went there. One is Masa and he does boot repairs in Germany now and the other is now doing Aristocrat and Co.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Absolutely. Could not agree more. Most of the most stylish people are actually usually a bit older IMO.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Love the detailed review @Marc mndt . It'd sad to see Clinch regress so much, but I've seen too many examples of their backside. My older pairs are far superior. They lost the guy who did the uppers on my two custom pairs from 2017 and the guy who used to do the hand welting too at the very...

    Thrifted HD Motorcycle Jacket

    That looks like a very solid jacket especially for what you paid! Definitely nicer than other Harley stuff from the 90s and 2000s

    That may also be because nobody in their right mind would think you were anywhere near 45 years old... Although I agree that the whole age thing with leather jackets is stupid. If your whole outfit is cohesive and everything fits well, you'll look great no matter the age.

    Altering waist in 4 oz HH jacket?

    I agree with others. I think its more trouble than it would be worth. It doesn't look that bad.

    The fit doesn't even look bad there. Maybe ask Johnson Leathers.

    I've had too many jackets at this point to be forgiving on fit. I've made made too many mistakes. Plus, a great fit is a great fit no matter how forgiving someone generally is with fit.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Agreed. This fit is really good. @navetsea you can tell you've really broken in the jacket and used the pockets. Looks fantastic. The back will catch up soon enough.

    Yup too small for me as well. Guess we both lose haha.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Yup you are absolutely right! That is partly why I am all in on vintage jackets now and mostly done with repros. I do think my Freewheelers Bodie fits in pretty well with the actual vintage jackets especially compared to other repro jackets. That said, aside from an A2, I'm going to mostly stick...

    Looks like it fits you really well. Definitely keep wearing it!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Yeah I think I'm going to have to soak mine as well. Most of the leather feels broken in and pliable, but the sleeves are tough. Thanks for the advice!
