Hi red devil,
Thanks for the tips, I did read up on the threads that Marc and Carlos had about getting jackets for their partners. Although, I have only had one Aero, it didn't fit me well either.
The Langlitz I posted seems about right but I'm not certain it'll fit. I am tempted to go the...
Hi Blackadder,
Thanks for the goat leather info.
Luckily Vanson sent me their measurement form and boy is it complex. The main issue is the style of the perfecto has a flap that when zipped up fully is folded inside the jacket which takes up some space.
The Schott I got for her is 17" p2p but...
Hi Batoidea,
I did not consider Langlitz cos I always thought they were very pricey but I found something like this online so thanks:
A Langlitz Feather!
It's certainly interesting but the seller did say it weighted in at 3.5 lbs (some heavy feather this is) which is pretty substantial and she...
Hi Blackadder,
Agree on how lamb drapes and as it's easy to wear as it's so light but after trying the Schotts and comparing it against the Brakeman she wanted to try something more substantial than lamb.
Good timing to let her try some heavier hides to see what she'll prefer.
Hi Batoidea,
My gf isn't the sort who likes her jackets to look like something from a goodwill store if it looks aged n tattered it'll be out of the house lol.
It's her first forey into serious leather jackets from fashion pieces like Guess, Ralph Lauren, etc so a Schott or Vanson is totally...
Hi guys,
Getting stuff for my lady seems to be a bit of a struggle, she likes a certain pattern but it's not that easy to find something that fits the way she would like it to. I too would prefer that the jacket I get will at least last more then a few years unlike some flimsy fashion leather...
You gotta be related to either Bruce Willis or Johnny Depp to be able to pull off that look. That is some serious seasoning going on!
Amen to really great long lasting leather that looks so good, its amazing to find treasures like that. Personally I would hunt and wait till I knew I had the...
Leather jackets Pssst!... that's can tuna compared to the to the ladies stuff.
Max Mara, Chanel, Gucci, Prada... you won't just feel broke you'll be broke.
We're talking can tuna to caviar... so good luck rofl!
Wait I thought we ARE the museum pieces lol
Hey jadub, I'm loving this brakeman and I'm wearing it as I type to break it in before my Nov trip to Japan. My gf is rolling her eyes at me again...
I love and curse having heard JCSD name I wish I never got to know him or his jackets lol.
I'm in Singapore there is zero reason for me to wear...
After 3 YEARS on the forum I finally have a jacket that is worth posting about.
Thanks JCSD for the Brakeman.
Barely 2 mins after this I was trying to get it off lol!
This is 3 LONG YEARS in the making for these lousy photos.
I hope I don't have to wait 3 more years for this jacket to become...
Found this amazing ladies Vanson in a size 10 for just $120

If my gf was a tad bigger I'll have bin it!
Someone please bin this for their SO its too pretty to be left alone.
The last one is way too baggy lol. It should fit tighter. I too prefer the longer ones and one of my polo tees is just about the perfect length. It's just an inch below the jean pockets.
I'll try and take a pic later.
Marc is that you too?
The thing I've noticed on a lot of jackets is the...
I've been reading up some on the proper length of a jacket and from what I gathered, a HB and a cafe racer should be shorter than the top pocket on a pair of jeans and about 2" shorter at the back however, JCSD speed master which I think is a cafe-ish racer jacket looks 100% spot on in length...
That's about as good as you're ever going to get. The issue for me is my arms will swim in the standard cut so if I was to go get a Vanson it'll have to be custom.
Ahhhh much better, I was wondering how that jacket will be wearable if it fits like a carboard box lol
Kim has been very helpful and I've been discussing a custom jacket from her based upon the Oxford/Royale Enfield. I'm sure if she can help she will.

If I was in the US like you I'll give her a buzz over skype and see how she can help.
After the shock or finding out...
