    A Made-in-Japan Excelled Racer: I need some context here...

    I agree with Monitor, the holes, the bad main zipper chainge ( there are visible holes in the underside in the 6th and 7th pics and i am pretty sure i can see two rows of stitching...) If it was me i would return it, unless i had paid 25$ for it. If you have to spend money on that jacket you are...

    Fit question

    Here is the same jacket in two different sizes. The 42L has 22.5" p2p and 20.5" bottom hem, the 44 has 23.5" p2p and 21" bottom hem. Both are the same length as the 42L was specced to be the length of a 44R. IMO in wear the difference is about the thickness of a thick jumper. I can wear the 42L...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I wouldn't adjust after only wearing it with a shirt. In real life you are probably never going to wear such a thick jacket on warm days, make sure you have room to wear a jumper comfortably before you try to make it tighter. IMO a winter jacket can almost be a size up from a summer jacket, at...

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

    I didn't mean anything about the oversized fit, i meant general proportions of the jacket. To me that jacket has similar proportions to what you would expect of a woman's perfecto, ie super long arms and cropped body. I think it would look that way even if it was sized "correctly". A bit like this:

    The arms are so long compared to the body, to me it has the proportions of a women's jacket.

    Pretty much, once it reaches the buyee warehouse you choose your shipping method (EMS, Fedex or DHL i think) and they send it on to you. If you want you can ask for the package to be opened and some pictures of the item taken, but it's not that helpful as the pics aren't the greatest. Let me...

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

    All i did was send a bunch of pictures and ask for all the Crown zippers... This was basically the same process as 5 star but i didn't send any measurements in.

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

    I was going to wait untill i had the jacket in hand before posting pics, but i can't keep this to myself any longer, i think this jacket is just too cool not to share. I don't know how much she weighs, but Stu said she was super thick and heavy, apparently they used 5+oz leather and...

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    I have no idea, i think they are made from bakelite or some other old school plastic, they are supposed to be from the 30s. Greg did a strength test, stitched one and pulled on it untill it broke and he thinks they are still strong enough to be used.

    Sweet, good luck! Don't forget that even if you place a sniper bid during the last seconds Buyee will keep adding time to the timer untill no more bid is added for 5 minutes. Bit of a weird system.

    I think so, both jackets i recevied where new i assume he has multiple examples of each size. The black one woudl be my choice in your weather, the suede one would get sweaty very fast.
