Received the G-1 remake today.
I like the leather much better than the first jacket. It has a completely different look, feel, and weight.
It feels softer, more supple, and the finish is less shiny...more matte. The grain appears different as well, it seems tighter and less pebbly. It weighs...
Holly finally got back to me regarding the stitching.
Even though we discussed it in email and she acknowledged that she made a mistake and left my request off the final spec sheet, I approved the final spec sheet without it listed, so she told me basically that there was nothing they could or...
I think they’re pretty standard. Probably just the way the arms are laying.
I mean...here is a pic of a good wear:
They look big here as well. Not concerned about it.
Got the DHL notification that my G1 (AN-6552) remake is on its way. Should be here mid next week. From the pics Shawn sent me, all the sizing issues seem to be taken care of. The collar changed, and the knits changed.
Will post better pics when it arrives, but for now...here is what he sent me:
Ya, 2 days in and it’s already looking better. And the smell!!!
I have had several CXL jackets in both steer and horse. But man, it’s been a couple years and I forgot how brand new CXL smells. It’s intoxicating. More than any other leather jacket in my closet (there currently are 6, 3 of which...
^^ this!
Find the size with the P2P range and closest shoulder width that fits you, then either add or subtract body and sleeve length to fit.
You can change/modify other measurements such as shoulders, which is what I did on mine, because you’ll find that in the premier line up the shoulders...
Gotcha...well follow up here when you receive it. I still haven’t heard anything about my 5* G1 (AN-6552) remake, except that the first collar didn’t pass QC. Since then nothing....hopefully I’ll hear something soon.
Direct. I just received it today. Not sure yet. I emailed Holly and let her know but received an auto reply saying they are closed for the holidays until after the first of the year. So...it’ll be a bit before I hear back.
Ya, the more I wear it it seems to be looking less boxy and starting to shape to me better. These pics were literally right out of the box. I think it fits pretty well.
Wish it had the olive stitching I ordered but all else I’m pretty happy with. Definitely has a “cool” factor. Classic black...
Despite expecting a trimmer fit in the body...it still fits “like a highwayman” and has a boxy look...maybe the CXL will calm down a bit as it breaks in and drape better.
Aero hit most of the measurements I gave them. Were short .5” in length but I guess that’s within tolerance and I think the...
My Trucker is a size 38. My (on order) premier highwayman is a size 42.
There is more to it than just P2P. Different patterns just fit differently regarding how low/high the armholes are, leather choice, etc...
I can get away with a smaller P2P in a jacket with lower arm holes and lighter...
Just an observation.... this jacket (blackened brown Vicenza) feels significantly lighter and thinner than my older Black Vicenza cafe racer.
Not necessarily a bad thing, it works with this style. When I mentioned that to Carrie, she said that with all the seams on the front of a trucker that a...
The AN-6552 (G1) I have doesn’t have any noticeable squeak...
Speaking of that jacket....finally heard from Shawn with regards to the remake. It was finished yesterday but the collar apparently didn’t make it through his QC department so he’s redoing the collar. Hopefully I’ll have the final to...
