    Thank you. That's true with how much leather jackets you want to have 20 doesn't seem enough for sure lol Same thing man, I tried those and had the crease on the chest corner. I did notice the FL seem to agree to that hanger so that works haha ThAnks, they sure look great and holding the...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Midsole- single, looks better and will not be hard to break in. I don't like the look on a double/triple stacked leather midsole too Outsole- if you want a sleek easy wearing full sole go with dr sole full sole super grip. If you want a half sole, the vibram black explosion looks good...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    It was already short to begin with and now it's even shorter so I could definitely tell the difference especially when I bend down. Although the lining didn't shrink the leather did so there is a noticeable excess fabric that gets caught at times when I'm putting on the jacket. I reached out to...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Quick dirty photo compared when new. It still looks fine but I probably have to tuck my shirt when I wear this jacket. I do hope it does not shrink any shorter than this

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    The brown mulholland seems to have a pigment finish and there's some little squeak here and there but the caboose on photos seems to have no top coat and I'm imagining it's pretty smooth/squeak free. I cant imagine how they constructed the underarm gusset but it makes a big difference. Thanks...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Ahhh but i did remember reading a story about the left/right sleeve that got shorter after a good downpour and motorcycle ride. It still fits fine in the chest/waist/bottom hem/sleeves seems fine but the back is a lot shorter so I'm guessing it will settle above/around my belt when I wear it...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Got it. I did that, I just zipped it up and let it dry flat on the floor. Had no clue it can shrink that much. So you just pat it dry and leave it out to dry flat on the floor? Why what happened? Wasn't probably part of the lounge yet

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Update on this @handymike. Looks like it wasn't by design lol for god sake the jacket shrank a good 1.5" after getting wet that's why! It was 22" back length before, now it's like 20.5". No wonder the zippers are loopy and I noticed the lining having more slack.

    What do you guys use as leather jacket hangers? I've been using the Aero wooden hangers but I noticed it's been leaving a dimple to the corner of the shoulder seams. Pls advise, thanks

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thank you. Now I get your old review about the jacket even more. I hope you get your brown mulholland sometime soon. The mobility and range of motion of this pattern is phenomenal. I really want a black one for sure. The caboose's shade of brown looks much richer than the vintage brown and the...

    Thanks man. It's really surprising how this off the rack size fits so well. I should look more into Japanese makers considering my build/size.
