    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Other than sleeves, I think is ok fit for a racer.

    FS: Lewis Leathers Monza, size 38

    Next level. All this LL talk lately. You guys going to make me spend money. But this one too small for me

    Vegecow Lewis Leathers quality

    here's my next rabbit hole LOL. I really need to sell some stuff off before even taking a peek. I guess I'll start at the beginning of the thread...

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    good luck with this "natural" breaking in. I've got a 60's 618 I'm selling and I don't think it's fully broken in LOL. Definitely some arm creases, nice collar breaking in and tight grain here/there, but that top coat still alive and kicking LOL. I don't ride, but if I did, this would be my...

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    this right here. I don't know about 1 or 2, but definitely trying to reduce some. I'd be happy with 12, one per month so to speak to cover some weather scenarios and outfit potential. Luckily the bulk of my collection is used jackets, so someone put in a head start for me, but yeah, it's all...

    dang, what is that? Lux? Man of man, I have a hankering for a dark brown teacore kind of thing.

    FS Vanson Enfield (2000 model) sz 40

    seeing a pic of yours one day put me on the hunt to buy one. Took a while to find one of the older ones. It never really fit me how I like though. I get pretty picky about these things. And then after I picked up a Thedi that has a similar pattern, there's just no way this is going to get...

    Where Did That Leather on My Back Come From?

    The root is that the world has become over populated because of the efficiencies of mass food production and advancements in technology and medical tech. You can't feed/clothe/sustain 7 billion people if we did it the old fashion way. We saw a brief glimmer of what the "natural" state of the...

    Post Thedi Leather Jacket Photos Here........

    fantastic as well. Thank goodness I live no where near his shop or he'd own my house by now LOL. I've said it before, if I was starting over, I'd own a handful of Thedis, a Cal, a Field Leathers and Schott Perfecto and be done.

    Post Thedi Leather Jacket Photos Here........

    that is amazing. I have the same jacket in the horsehide. Has gotten maybe 10 wears on it and very little sign of creasing yet, but it's coming, I know it. Would love to knock off some of the shine too. Don't think it'll ever evolve to what you have here since this is obviously a different...

    Unlined Schott Jacket?

    It's a nice jacket. Personally, I would never buy an Aero from Japan. You're dealing with a proxy seller so you won't be able to get extra photos of the measurements, etc. Do you know your sizing? There's always lots of stuff on our classifieds and you can buy with confidence (for the most...

    Unlined Schott Jacket?

    It's like a $200-250 job to put in a liner. Lots of labor and obvious material cost. If you're on the fence about it, skip it. Too many jackets ready to go with liner to bother dealing with it. In general, if you can avoid any sort of alteration work, all the better. Lots of things can go...

    WTB: A repro of Ernest Hemingway's hunting vest.

    I'm not one to be star struck, but there's a few people that whenever I see their picture, all I can think about is how cool they are. Hemmingway is up there along with Steve McQueen.

    you could probably squeeze down one size, although I think it's pretty close as is, but I think what's more off with it is the front length.

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    all my Cals (1950s to 1970s) are #10. My older Vanson like mid 80s is 10 and a CHP I sold was a 10. The older Schott cross zips are 10. But for some reason the racers tend to be smaller. I think maybe the racers were typically lighter weight leather and more stretchy, so maybe had something...

    Brooks Gold Label Cafe Racer Repro

    Brooks has a full action back. Don't recall J100 having one. That's the big difference. But I agree, from the front, nothing beats a Brooks racer. I sold mine few months back but from what I remember: think it was a 42: ptp 23 shoulder 20 sleeve 25 back 24.5 with at least 1 inch front drop...
