    Freewheelers leather jackets

    Thanks! Anything straight zip CHP is my go to and favorite pattern. It's not tapered as compared to my other jackets with the 36 Mulholland having 20.5" chest to 18.25 hem but thankfully the side adjusters work on this jacket so i can get the bottom hem to 17.75 for that V shaped look Too bad...

    Freewheelers leather jackets

    Thanks @Marc mndt, it does fit very well. So well that I don't think I can squeeze a warm sweater underneath it comfortably because the armhole is high and small but good thing I can get away with just a light longsleeved shirt and the heavy flannel lining for my local climate. The 2021 version...

    Crazy how those folds are so deep already. The hide is gorgeous! Congrats on this, can't wait to see the fit photos

    Freewheelers leather jackets

    I read that it came in dead lead brown? or whatever brown they name it but looks like it's one of those that is not regularly made for each Fall/winter season. Maybe reach out to speedway Sendai/Genco et al Japanese retailers as I'm sure they'll have a more detailed answer for you. Happy hunting.

    Freewheelers leather jackets

    FW Mulholland in vintage black. Still pretty rigid but folds are coming on nicely. The back of my hands are sore from where the cuffs are digging in so I'm massaging/folding it to place. I'm slowly teaching the leather strap on the bottom hem to adjust to my size, still a long way (about 50%...

    Yes! Thedi makes the cool designs, I like the combination of buttons and elastic that they do. Gregs first attempt on a FL detachable collar was on my jacket so yours will come out nicer for sure. I think the collar needs to be wider so when you attach the mouton it will be more flush and lay on...

    My kind of guy lol mouton all the way. I'm guessing the Aero wayfarer and slimfit MC have fixed fur collar. So the Thedi and FL will have the detachable ones? You are a LL guy maybe they will agree to fit a mouton on one of your jackets. The cyclone looks very clean and that will look really...

    No problem at all. The full aniline is a naked hide so even though it's thicker it's much softer/pliable. The teacore shinki has that black pigment on top so that's probably what makes it more hardy and more rigid. Are you opting for the black pony? I forgot which hide you are going for

    Right on, the brown contrast on the black teacore has that nice touch to it, it will definitely look the part once the brown shows through with wear. I also have to agree with the mouton collar looking better for cross zips as evidenced by your Aeros in Badalassi/Vicenza as well. I think they...

    THanks @Marc mndt. Graining is similar, the black aniline has very fine grains and so does the teacore shinki. The teacore has a coarser touch to the hand, it feels lighter on my back, may be thinner than 1.3mm (that's probably why Greg had to redo my jacket as the 1st jacket he made had panels...

    Got it, might be worth a try to send them an email. They do have quite a bit of heritage history to them and I can imagine how proud they are of their patterns. I really am just intrigued with the green sheepskin since all my jackets are black/brown The green sheepskin is really nice, and it's...

    advanced happy birthday good sir! get in on the sheepskin train lol the green is very interesting for sure but if you go with the classic black or dark brown it will come out just as good. god knows I want one too lol but the patterns I like the corsair/dominator looks so much alike with my...

    Thanks man! The snaps are actually some kind of dark antique brass that looks Mean almost oxidized black Thanks my man! Went real slim after witnessing your FL stripped down cross zip. It got cold enough to wear a jacket for a quick photo shoot lol I felt bad not being able to share better...

    Thanks @jonesy86 Thanks brother. I am not sure if Greg does French seams but that will be my next request out of him for my pending order. Basically the same jacket but brown leather. Yes the sleeves and back are likened to the leathertogs design lol I can't seem to stick to 1 jacket design so...
