Nice. I have same jacket (I think, there's a few variations in this style from Schott). Mine is a little short in the sleeves. I might try the patent pending sleeve extender method this weekend. Otherwise I'm saving for my kids. Really cool patina, very comfy, got to dig the collar. I...
I think as others have said, at this price point, you can't go wrong. It's more of which will fit better. Saying one leather is "better" than the other can mean a lot of things. And obviously whether any jacket is worth what you pay for it is another topic. The simple answer is no, because...
I'm no expert either and I'm sure there's variations, but when I think Indian Ranger, I'm thinking mismatched hardware, red/black checkered lining, etc. Good news is there's plenty people on here that can chime in. Nice looking jacket in any case.
some people specifically look for that wearing down of color, varying shades, etc. It's called "patina" or "vintage" etc. If it's dry like feeling like flaking, cracking, etc. depending on the degree of it, a good leather conditioner will help bring it back and also round out the colors some...
I had a couple jackets like this where something was off (the fit, the leather, extra pocket I didn't like, etc.) that I think I almost was trying to sabotage in order to justify buying something new LOL. It's surprising how much of a beating these jackets can take. Even the so called "lower...
Amazing. I can understand the dilemma of whether to wear or not, and then of course, whether to sell or not.
And thanks for the photos. I've got something coming up with Greg Field later next year and I know it's going to be Buco inspired. There's nice details here I want to pick up. Like I...
holy cow, 25 ptp and 22 shoulder. NFL linebacker territory. That guy in the photo though looks pretty skinny and it definitely looks big on him, but not crazy big. Maybe Dena or Gwen could trim it down? Shoulders are always tough though. What you going to do with that in Texas anyway LOL?
Excellent write up and I think you exactly summed up what I tried to say over several pages of this thread many months ago. Having gone through the Lewis Leather "customization" process, I understand better you can't just rattle off a bunch of numbers and have everything come together. They...
that's a gorgeous jacket. I'm kind of on the fence with the elbow pads on an aviator. But at that price, pretty darn good. If I had to guess, I bet the ptp is 22-23 range.
Being a proud owner of one of these, used to be two of them, I can tell you it's a fantastic jacket. It's the only jacket I bought two exact same ones. Part of the reason was I was on this long hunt to find a really simple D pocket. Sounds easy right? Wrong. A lot of them have action backs...
excellent. Was watching Band of Brothers again the other day and I couldn't help but notice the superb A2s they were wearing. A little research and some old posts from here and I discovered they are in fact RMCs. No wonder they looked so stylish. You wear it well. I'm done buying jackets...
Gorgeous. I've been hunting for LLs past several weeks and in past few days 3 appear here in our classifieds. All the wrong size :mad: but nonetheless one cooler than the other. Someone going to grab this and be super happy. GLWS
It does look about a half size to full size off (depending on how fitted you wanted). What kind of leather? It might open up some if it's a softer leather, but if you could lose about 5lbs, that'll be a sweet fit. It's hard to get a fitted look in an A2. you're just a tad on the wrong side...
yesssss! Love this. God willing, this will be me in about 30 years. It's part of the reason I've put in the investment now. I figure cost per wears will be well worth it over time and I can look cool all the while...
maybe I have bad info, but I think I remember others mentioning in the past that typically the transactions on facebook are local. I could be wrong and maybe it's case to case.
Diesel, there's a few tell tale signs on a Cal. Mutton in the sleeves by the wrists, the horizontal stitching on the...
maybe on the way to vegas one day :cool:
San Bernadino has got a huge biker community. Lots of Hells Angels used to be out there. I'm fairly confident that's a legit Cal.
