    Losing length- how much to take into account when buying new?

    That is a good idea. The whole "how we wear our pants" is such a huge factor in how jackets look.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Fassbender and McAvoy are crying all the way to the bank. They are solid actors. Too bad.

    Losing length- how much to take into account when buying new?

    I like Ton312's analogy about the wrinkled paper. I get creases down the back when I drive while wearing a jacket. And of course there are the arm creases. It also makes sense that any loss of moisture, oils, waxes etc. may contribute to area loss from shrinkage and leather memory. I definitely...

    I guess I'm thinking future tense as well......

    Losing length- how much to take into account when buying new?

    That makes sense. I just checked and yes, there is slight sagging of lining. Nothing shows below the hem but it is close. May have to get the lining at the hem adjusted if it goes any further.

    Losing length- how much to take into account when buying new?

    Just measured. Lost one inch off the back. Now a perfect length for me. After 30 hours in the sun and one damp cloth wipe down. Not CXL- Vegetable tanned horsehide. Up in Canada we shrink leather with our weather and win NBA titles.......;)

    Losing length- how much to take into account when buying new?

    Exactly. Most of us have a personal preference for back/sleeve length. That comes into play too. No offence :)

    Losing length- how much to take into account when buying new?

    I have owned about 5 cxl jackets. Whatever the environmental/lifestyle factors that contribute to length loss, they exist for me. I wear mine in all four seasons to some degree, less of course in the summer. Maybe the exposure of temperature variance and relative humidity come into play.

    Aero Cafe Racer - Keeper? ( Fit Pics)

    Tapers nicely at the waist from that one photo angle.

    Aero Cafe Racer - Keeper? ( Fit Pics)

    I could never get my Aero Cafe Racer's collar done up either- too tight.

    ps in the photo of the rear it appears you are bringing your shoulder blades together, which makes sense, to get the shot. A relaxed photo of the back would be a better indicator of fit.

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

    I did not think the “Elvis” was that far off from looking fantastic. I think having it modified to your liking would be my preference too.

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

    Packaging is like the drum role before the "reveal". I like that too but Lost World's and Aero via Thurston Bros have no bells and whistles but damn nice jackets!!! You, Regius, have some outstanding jackets with versatility. You could probably mix and match forever with your current choices...

    Aero Cafe Racer - Keeper? ( Fit Pics)

    I like the fit of this jacket in general. The collar--It will break in. The scratches- do not even worry about it. Over time the cxl will lose an inch from the back length- always seem to. Sleeve length- you will lose length from creasing and I personally really like the creased sleeve look...
