    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I gave them chest and waist measurements of a jacket that I wanted this to fit like and also gave them actual body measurements.

    Thanks. Maybe a total 6” circumference off?

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Yeh, I’d say it needs about 8” off the waist. I’m still waiting for a reply to see what they can do.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Jeez this is depressing, but I'm starting to think you are right. Sliming the torso won't help with the sleeves. I think they should have sized me down one. I don't understand why they are so secretive about their sizing when this sort of thing could happen. That said, when I look at the size...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I took some measurements to compare with jackets I own and what I'd sent them: Chest: Desired: 21" Received: 22" (In hindsight, I think a 20 or 20.5" might be better - in Texas, I never need more than a tshirt under a jacket) Waist: Ask: 19" Received: 22" uncinched (19 uncinched would be...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks. I think I will probably end-up going down this route. I'm going to contact S-B to see what they say and are willing to do.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks. If I were to size down the shoulders would be too small. Boots are Wesco Boss's (brown domain, double sole and extra heel).

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Sorry if this is photo overload, wasn’t sure on the etiquette of posting here versus starting a new thread. First decent pics of my new Simmons-Bilt semi-custom double rider in Horween Milan horse hide. The leather is just superb - it’s a beautiful rich brown that is soft and pliable in a...

    Jackets You Regret Buying vs. Ones You Got Out of Your System

    Schott that I bought during their Covid sale. It was well made and had some nice construction details the smaller outfits don’t do, but the leather looked more bronze than brown. The fit was good and really helped me understand what I wanted in a jacket. The style just wasn’t me. I’m tall, slim...

    Your favorite outerwear Instagram account(s)

    The “cuff check” is a contrived way of getting the key elements into your ‘money shot’: selvedge ID, shirt, wrist jewelry, boots, fades, etc. Bonus for those who don’t like showing their face.

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

    That’s the one. Actually, I think they call it their Double Rider. I’m going to get some better pics Thursday, but this is it (uncinched):

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

    Under four weeks from payment to delivery! the fit seemed a little off at first and i was freaking out a little, but after I cinched-up the side adjusters it is now perfect. it’s a modified version of their classic biker model that isn’t listed. It’s the same as they made for Standard and...

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

    I’m going to resist the temptation to post a gazillion bad bathroom mirror pics and wait till I can come up with some decent outdoor fit pics. Overall impression is very good: quality and finish is phenomenal and the sleeve and body length are perfect. The body seems a bit boxier and fuller than...

    The ultimative Denim Trouser Thread?

    Something I really appreciate on Ciano Farmer jeans in the heavy canvas pocket bags and back pocket reinforcement. Hate it when jeans pockets start wearing through and you lose confidence in your stuff not disappearing. Tellason and Gustin also do really good pockets, but CF are in a league of...

    Do you know anything about WWII white undershirts?

    The ultimative Denim Trouser Thread?

    I’ve mostly preferred the look of fresh, dark, crisp indigo but lately I’ve come to appreciate fades as well. Nice to have some ‘good’ jeans for Fridays at work and something with more character for the weekend.

    Personally, I say give them a gentle wash or soak when they are dirty. Leaving dirt and other material in the fabric will lead it to break down faster.

    ^ Have they stretched at all with wear, yet? If you grab the cuff and tug, can you few the opening stretch just a little?
