tip on breaking in, helped me a lot. I lay the jacket flat and roll up from the bottom to the top as tightly as possible. As I get to the top, I fold in the sleeves and basically roll into a log. Then, use my knees to literally "knead" for like 30 seconds. Then flip over the jacket and roll...
1970s Schott 618. Really digging this. Talon zips, no underarm gussets, very slim fit. Can't believe it's a Schott. Another inch on the length would have been great, but it's cool in certain situations. Also like how the belt is much smaller and doesn't hang completely down. I feel like my...
They won't stretch, but what's typical is the sleeves do cinch up some because of the creases. However, what I've found with my Sheene and Cafe Racer is that I do get the creases, but it's pretty negligible on the overall length because the leather gives more, especially once the jacket warms...
that's pretty darn close. I guess if you're cool waiting, a little longer sleeves is good idea. But I don't think the sleeves will cinch up that much given it's CXL. Thing is so loaded with wax and oils once it warms up it stretches out, even with sleeve creases.
think it was a size 40 no or LW tend to run big? In any case, that's the danger with the Japanese stuff. You don't have direct access to seller, so you can't clarify. So you really need to know what you're buying and have a reference point.
Mall Jacket Throwdown Wednesdays (in the spirit of Ton's jacket showcase)
Here's my submission. Guppy posted this Gap Trucker in the Finds & Deals thread. Jumper gave me assertion to grab it (along with another one). Problem was it's a XL. Had to do a major shrinking job on it (like 3 days...
Nice toast colored Panama hat with that jacket and you'll be the king of the retirement home when that time comes. All the ladies will want to sit at your bingo table.
Well, you're taking select pieces. I also said... "I'm not saying the posts weren't valid or important, but I think it's more an issue of tidying up the posts"
And later said "Whether your thread needed it's own or could have been added to another is splitting hairs and a bit of red herring to...
Another Racer. damn this one is sweet. One of those Real McCoys before they were the Real McCoys lol.

This one tempting. No one bid on it first auction so might come down a little more. The fabled octagon leather.

This one looks sweet. I'd buy it, but I just picked up a Schott 641xx on the cheap. Got too many of these racers now. 7 hours to go on the auction, but I bet no one bids on it. You might get cheaper if you wait, but at about $400ish + $75ish shipping, that's a good deal.
