    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I used to own one of these in like new condition (w matching belt) but the leather quality / character was pretty disappointing. Just an FYI to any of those interested. The only positive was that I used it as a sizing mule for my foray into longer Aero styles like Northeaster, Blizzard, and...

    Starter jacket - HD Sportster from @Monitor

    Great style CR but only you can truly decide if it fits. Otherwise it will stay in the closet. For me, shoulders are a super critical measurement on a leather jacket. An inch too big when the leather is stiff/dry/new might seem ok since the stiffness is almost acting like a shoulder pad giving...

    Custom Vanson Chopper - It has Arrived!

    Slept on it for a couple days and I think the red will stay but today's the true test. Taking it out for a ride on the bike in 77 F sunny weather. If it does go for re-line, Im also thinking about having the lapel/chest snaps (black) added. I specifically requested it be made without but...

    Custom Vanson Chopper - It has Arrived!

    Lead time was around 2mths but Im sure this changes depending on time of year. I can totally see how the lining oversight happened, given that 99.9% of Choppers are standard with that red quilt and my order had a few revisions. Doesn't bug me visually at all, just more of the functional side...

    Custom Vanson Chopper - It has Arrived!

    Wanted to share a few pics of the final product and thank the forum for providing input/opinions in my previous thread while I was hashing out the details. Like many addicts here, I can be indecisive ocd about the custom jacket process and having others to hear you out greatly helps. Thanks to...

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

    Giving this one a go as my latest incoming jacket. Thanks to Tony's goodwill! I'll post up a pic after my attempted "hide restoration"

    FT - Excelled Cafe Racer 40Reg (USA) Need 42

    Thanks. You’re right about that huge 42. Unless yours was a mistagged 44long! Compared to my 40reg, that would be massive on me. 19” shoulder seems normal for a 42 but that 24” pit is surprising. I’ll keep this one for now unless I see another 42 excelled with different measurements.

    FT - Excelled Cafe Racer 40Reg (USA) Need 42

    Hmm, thanks for the heads up. I really dig the overall style/look of this Excelled but just think I need a bit more width in the shoulders. Everything else fits. What does your 42 measure at shoulder / pit? Measuring with the gussets tucked in.

    FT - Excelled Cafe Racer 40Reg (USA) Need 42

    Looking to even swap this size 40 for a similar 42. Black preferred. Lmk what you guys might have. Non smoker / no funky musty smell. Very fine needle holes on outside shoulder where someone used to have a patch but not super noticeable since they used a very narrow needle. Tag Size 40Reg Pit-...

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

    Figured I'd contribute my spring jacket spending spree. All of which should arrive within the next two weeks. Hopefully they all fit, otherwise keep an eye open in the classifieds! Excelled Cafe Racer in Black Brooks Gold Label Schott Cycle Rider Last but not least, my custom sized...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I just took a gamble on this one. "Excelled" Brand ?? Haven't heard of it before but this leather looked a bit more substantial than the Brooks I was about to buy. We'll see when it arrives...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    1970's Schott Cafe in Brown. Looks pretty good but think I see some stitch holes from a zipper replacement job. Still worth the price? https://www.ebay.com/itm/283452578628?ViewItem=&item=283452578628&ssPageName=ADME:X:COCE:US:3160

    Langlitz SIDEWINDER leather jacket

    So tempting considering I have a 32" waist and 42 chest and 5'9. If only I wasn't 3wks away from my custom Vanson Chopper and cash poor at the moment!

    Custom Vanson Chopper - Input Needed

    Just noticed their Portland jacket has a smaller in the facing pocket. Going to ask them for that style lined in fabric. No need for the bulky leather pocket. Think adding Armpit vent grommets to a Chopper would be out of place ?

    Custom Vanson Chopper - Input Needed

    Bringing this back up as Im about halfway through the wait time for production and questioning my decision on interior pocket setup. Definitely going with two zippered/horizontal ones in lining but have mixed feelings on the massive leather lined gun pocket in the facing. I know it sounds cool...
