New jacket and pants, bought them during a MF shopping spree last year but when finally took out to wear, the pants no longer fit, due to leg gains and belly gains…. These are somewhat slim to begin with….
jacket measurements: shoulder 18.5
Sleeve 27”
back length 31”
Pit 22.5
pants: waist...
Back length is 25.5
this one fits like a glove around the shoulder and trap, it has that Langlitz ergonomic rounded fit, unlike the 1947 o sold which needed a heavy hoodie layering to feel the “hugging”. This jacket I think is of the perfect cafe racer fit in most peoples standard. It’s a pain...
Hi Canuck! lol, sorry about that! it is cow, medium cow. The hem is 21".
Also, I need to correct on the shoulder width, it's more like 19.
As for the epaulettes, I wanted this feature to resemble a certain motorcycle jackets (the "Elvis" by Aero), I asked for the aviator style as the cross...
Did you examine the stitch work if I may ask? Did Vanson at least try to aim at the same needle holes? Because if not, I’d hoped you’d sent it to Johnson or Dena (like I suggested). Any type of after market alteration is not the priority for this mass producers. So I do at least hope Vanson did...
There may be one in my office parking lot donation bin....I just threw away a bright red, basket weave wool hunting jacket, with tan moleskin lining, four flap pockets, two slash hand pockets, massive collar, brass Talon and two rear cargo Talon pockets....damn..
A 44 custom Cascade, another one bites the dust on my path to 80% cleanse. Sad sad sad. Rarely worn since receiving it in 2019. Shoulder 19.75”, sleeves 25”, pit to pit 22.75
Thank you! One characteristic of the Penman hat is you could fold it and throw it and it'd bounce back to shape. Wondering if the Adventure built or HJ could do that...
my next question is about Herbert Johnson (their Indy line), I sensed that the Indy hat thing is regarded with a bit of a judgment among real hat lovers, but as far as a fedora's concerned, HJ is a good hat maker right? and I am pretty sure their indy series are accurate.
amazing, Tom Horn is the one last McQueen movie I have yet to watch, will do now.
In terms of reshaping, I've been meaning to ask, can "re-shaping" also stretch out the volume of the crown to make more room? Because my Stetson dune right now simply don't have enough overall vol, if I pinch it...
Never get to wear this one. Originally bought a silver belly color in 7.25”, felt a bit large so bought a smaller one but ended up inserting fitting band to the silver belly and now it’s fits perfect. Leaving this never worn, only rested on the head of a mannequins! I have the large Stetson...
