    Schott shinki fit

    Imo just keep one of the jackets and wear it hard and well. Schott will have the best patterning though the leathers/finishing are subjecting. Seems like you prefer the Schott for that too though. I think the large with shortened sleeves would be a better bet than the medium but you can try the...

    Schott shinki fit

    It looks good but I genuinely like the drapey fit of the other jacket better, once the sleeve length is fixed. Hell your pics have about convinced me to give it a try myself, but I have another clothes purchase on the horizon lol.

    Schott shinki fit

    I get what you're saying, but I think it supports my point (that's why I added the caveat of there being sort of two trend lines). Like I said a lot of middle-aged people are still very much on the skinny-fit bandwagon (hence all the politicians you see in undersized pants–props to Biden and...

    Schott shinki fit

    Yeah, I think the same. Sort the sleeve length and good to go. I am not sure why TFL is convinced that the fashionable look is 2000s skinny jeans (which I hated then and now); they have been out for years now. If anything the young celebs are wearing absurd levels of 90s oversized. But then I...

    Schott shinki fit

    Yeah this is really the thing. I envy your height for vintage shopping–I feel like I'm just past the threshold of finding things, and I say it as someone who's been wearing high waisted trousers for most of my life (I got into classic menswear and made a TFL account in 2007); unfortunately some...

    Iron Heart brown horsehide riders jacket (ihj-129) fit check

    40 is already a good snug fit. 38 will be unwearable in motion.

    Schott shinki fit

    Ah also this part. Thurston lengthening + Aero's narrower 30s block probably makes a difference. Aero already specs assuming the wearer is 5'11, so Thurston's added length probably pushed it over the edge. Even an inch makes a difference; it's why some tailors will make a double-breasted suit...

    Schott shinki fit

    Maybe what I'm thinking is that the zip should end higher up like on a Hercules; maybe using the two-way would have the same effect.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I almost posted this earlier but there's all this weird decay and damage at the edges. In some cases "repaired" with literal paint. But it was good to see this and the other Branded in this vein earlier because now I know to look for them as another source of these cool 70s jackets.

    Schott shinki fit

    I've found the biggest contributor to that seems to be how the coat is shaped. In this case it's probably that the half belt area isn't cinched in a bit.

    Schott shinki fit

    Again, Schott's length listings and spec sheets include the collar as part of the back length.

    PERFECTO p628h

    Wow, this is a great deal.

    Schott shinki fit

    Actually, Schott's back measurement includes the collar. That's why my size 42 613SH says it has a back length of 25 or 25.5 but when you measure from the bottom of the collar it's 24. Some interesting things to pull from this drawing. Look at the crease on the left and right of the man's body...

    Looking for a Jacket

    If you think Italian is a marker of quality, you are in for a world of hurt.

    Yeah yeah I know all about the IRON HEART ARMY.

    Schott shinki fit

    True but remember the old catalogues mention that men of 6'0 or taller could get a Long version that adds 2-3 inches.

    Schott shinki fit

    I think it looks fantastic. Definitely not too big; there's some chest drape going on, which is a positive. A year or two ago I would have agreed that it's too short, but I don't think so anymore. A vintage jacket would have addressed this by having the zipper not go all the way to the hem...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Your moustache looked great imo.

    What’s a fair price for a good Cal jacket?

    Straight zip, beautiful leather, actually wearable size; this checks off a lot of boxes. The flip side is whether it's still worth it after VAT and postage.

    High Rise Jeans

    Bit ahistorical! The original high waisted suspender jeans were 8-10oz fabric, as a sort of over-layer for abrasion protection.
