Yesterday I had some discussions with my friends on if Rainbow Country manufactures leather jackets for Freewheelers. I know that on this forum some members like @dudewuttheheck and @red devil either has assumptions or confirmation on this issue but unfortunately I didn't find more detailed...
I'd say they are similar in terms of body length when I look at different sizing table. But I do recall that Mulholland 42 on me looks a bit shorter than La Brea 42 in the front. I think straight zip jacket has more visual tolerance on proportion compared to cross-zip jacket when they have front...
I don’t know how do they measure, but 63cm back length sounds way off to me. Maybe they include the collar? Attached is the back length measurement of my size 40 la brea.
Thanks! My point is that do not get scared away from this wonderful piece just because of the body length. It looks shorter in reality than on the size table. Speedmaster only dropped in 2013 and 2017 (difference on main zipper and pull chain on chest pockets), and so far I haven’t heard any...
Did you try it on? I think the measurement of the jacket does not fully explain the fit in terms of body length. The visual focus on the front is located at the end of the zippers, which is much higher than actual end of the jacket. Here is me wearing my speedmaster size 42.
My La Brea 40 has arrived today.
I was lucky to find another "Black Jack" edition of La Brea, and this time with exclusive white eyelets for the belt. The leather puller on the d-pocket has been customized to the style which used on La Brea back in Bootleggers era.
I put my focus only on Black...
Hi Marc, I think what he meant is matte, no coating, evenly distributed pebble-grain-like hide. I saw his liberty hide Bill Kelso, the horsehide differs quite a lot from Shinki. Maybe that's his general impression about cowhide.
Actually, the black ELMC you brought the other day has some...
Hi all,

Upper thigh: 32cm
Inseam: 92cm
Leg opening: 24.5cm
Only wore 15 minutes for fitting...
Too be honest given your height I think size 42 will be too long for your sleeves and body so not a good proportion for aesthetic view. The jacket will most likely fall low at your crotch so the flavor of a MC jacket will be gone. I would stick with 40 IMHO to get the better look. Sorry for my...
Since some members have DMed for hem measurement, let's update those figures here.
Hem: 50cm
Also for the confusion of the chest measurement, if I take the largest pit-to-pit, it can goes up to 56.5cm. Please see below.
Lastly I have added one more photo when the front chest is open.
Yes indeed it can be 56 -57cm, depends on precisely you measure it. If I raised the ruler a bit above, I can get the 56.5 cm measurement. I am 173cm and 82kg. I can still fit in a sweater inside when I was 88kg with naked chest of 107cm.
