    50s Hercules Motorcycle Jacket by Sears

    what up, dude? You got a knack for finding great old jackets. Was actually wearing today the Cal you sold me last year. Amazing jacket, and that collar, speaking of which :D:p:cool: The herc looks fantastic on you. Plenty of experts on here can give you a ton of info on what exactly you...

    Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto

    Your fit looks great. I wouldn't mess with it. If you really wanted to, wait for summer, get it wet again, hang in the hot sun for an hour, then wear it dry in the sun. That'll take off probably just enough. I did find some notes I had when I went pretty deep down this rabbit hole. Sorry if...

    Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto

    so you're not "washing" per se, although I have washed jackets before if they're older vintage type stuff that look filthy. For a new or newer jacket, you're just getting it wet. Soaked through because you want to make sure the shrink is equal. Don't mess with spot shrinking and what not...

    Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto

    now you got me thinking I could be a 42. Got to admit, yours looks perfect and I think we're close in size and height (6'0 185lbs). If anything, I probably have an inch bigger in chest, so makes sense to error on bigger size. Your note about the size 39 118 hits home. I have a 40 118 and had...

    Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto

    fantastic! You feel it loosening up at all in the chest and shoulders? I know you mentioned it feels more snug because of the drape, but curious. I think I'm more of a 40 in this, but it's going to be taking it to the edge I fear. 42 felt very similar with just a little bit more give. So I...

    Himel Bros. / Kensington / Size 44 / Black Shinki Horsehide

    Had my wife hide my wallet before I clicked on this. Even though I claim to be "done" (yeah right), I still got a couple jackets on an exception list. I've got too many in this style otherwise I'd be tempted. GLWS

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Oh dang. Hours before, I bought a vintage one, non sherpa lined, from the 70s (I think, no hand warmer, "Union Made" but has the MR mark on the Lee tag). Had I seen this, might have been a tough call.

    Sleeve length question for heavy leather jacket

    I must have measured my sleeve length for my LL at least 100 times and each time gotten a different number lol. So I just defaulted by what I know to be true and added a little extra since I knew I was bringing in the shoulders a good inch plus. For my height - 6'0 - I feel 26 inch sleeves is...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Very nice simple, elegant pattern. Love the Langlitz style stitching. My only comment is on the forearm to wrist taper or lack there of? Or do you not have the zippers zipped up? I had a Schott jacket like that. It was kind of cool at first, but it did bug me after a while. It was sort of...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    awesome. I just got a 70's Lee 101j (at least I think that's what it is. No expert, but I know enough to know it's not a 60s or earlier). I fear this might lead to many, many jackets LOL.

    SIMMONS BILT Sheepskin Vest Size 44

    now that is cool. If I didn't have an Aero C3 already, I would have grabbed this. I'm on shearling overload for my climate. Can't even think about it LOL ...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    My latest rabbit hole. Nothing fancy, but always wanted one of these. I like the fades and overall blue tone (assuming it's accurate) Collar looks a little worn, but with all the jackets I have, it's not going to get a lot of abuse:

    Field Leathers

    How tall are you? Generally speaking, I think you can go a little longer than the consensus here, but it's all relative. If you don't ride (I don't either) you can probably go a little bit more. My Vanson Commando is 27+ and at 6'0, that's pretty much the max I would go. It does feel long...

    Field Leathers

    Was going to say same thing as Jin. Finding a good dpocket is harder than you think. The chance for racers is much higher either new or used.

    Selling my Schott Perfecto 613SH size 42

    that's me exactly. The 40 is really snug coming off the shelf (I tried one on at the LA store) but even with a little bit of break in, should be perfect. Definitely the gussets allow you to push it.

    Selling my Schott Perfecto 613SH size 42

    great jacket. I always debate whether I'm a 40 or 42. I think I'm closer to 40 otherwise I'd be really tempted even though I said I was done LOL.

    Don't do it. Good leather trucker so hard to find.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    3-16/schott A2 style collab. So dang good. Black horween horse cxl very similar to the vanson leftfield commando. Very soft, im thinking this is lux or something similar. Very pliable, doesn't need to be warmed up, etc. Warm brown glow coming through. Detachable collar. Really great in...

    Vegecow Lewis Leathers quality

    Do you have the measurements of the jacket? I'm a 41.5 inch chest. I can't imagine the 42 being too snug unless you plan to layer thick sweaters, etc. My size 42 Lightning (different cut I know) is certainly snug (in a good way I think) but there's still some give. I definitely couldn't put...
