    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Branded Garments CHP style. Shout @Monitor for giving me advice on the history of this brand. I'm super glad I picked this up on Ebay. I think the best $205 I've ever spent. Super and I mean super thick leather. Probably 20 years old and was used a lot (I can tell by the grime and nicotine...

    I used to think the what are you wearing thread was dangerous. This is far worse. I sort of click on now with one eye open like please let there not be anything good LOL A couple of these are off on size for me, thankfully, but just barely almost to the point of, I can lose 25 pounds (but...

    Custom Simmons-Bilt Cross Zip fit- seeking opinions

    I've shared my SB story in bits and pieces, but let me do Cliffs Notes version again. MOnth ago or so, actually saw Justin's post about SB leather choices on the same day I was poking around the SB site to pick out a jacket. Followed along and liked what I saw (most likely the Dark Brown Lux)...

    5* 1950’s All Weather Half belt repro seal brown goat

    the premium steer seal I have is chipping away especially on the seams, any rounded edges, etc. Revealing a light brown underneath. the samples I got (not as deep as the sample package) I've been running different experiments on. From what I can tell, the premium goat is pretty tough. All...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    he should get an accurate ptp and shoulder measurement. of course remember to pad for the leather and what kind of fit he wants. i.e. my chest is about 42.5, so I usually go ptp 22.5 to 23.5 (both x2 for the chest size) max for looser fit. That is infallible and won't matter what the jacket...

    LOL, it's coming full circle. Is it 22.5 ptp and 18.5 shoulder from what you remember? I asked for photos but haven't come yet. Wonder why it's moving so much. Actually starting to creep me out. someone mentioned shipping to Europe. I'm in Los Angeles. $97 huh? I mean a good earth quake...

    my shipping estimate was $97!!!! I PM'd him like bro, I know the vintage stuff is heavy, but come on. Yeah, it's not a got to have it item for me. Looks interesting. Don't have a brown cross zip. Don't have a Cal Leathers jacket. Checks a few boxes in the nice to have zone but this would...

    right on, thanks guys. Need this like a hole in the head. But if I can get the shipping down, I might try and get it.

    what do you guys think on this one. Swears it's a Cal, but no tag. I'm waiting on pics of measurements to be sure, but would fit me perfect assuming his numbers are right. Also trying to work on the shipping price because that seems extreme: https://www.ebay.com/itm/124426210385?ul_noapp=true

    ANJ4, the dream. Lost Worlds vs Eastman

    you really need to ask around. I had 3 or 4 straight up tell me no. If you find someone with upholstery back ground, you got a better shot. In actuality, it's a bit easier than regular leather jacket because you can clearly see the seams and don't have to deal with the lining. It's just very...

    ANJ4, the dream. Lost Worlds vs Eastman

    Reading along, don't know why because I live in Los Angeles, but these kinds of jackets have always been on my bucket list. I bought an Aero B3 off the classifieds a few weeks back. Literally was 105 in LA the day the package arrived. Glad I did though because I can finally say I got one and...

    Cockpit G-1

    Hey Alex. I might be interested. Let me do some research on the brand. I don't see it pop up too much in the forums. Most people talk about Aero, RealMcoy, Eastman, etc. So could be that. Is this the military spec G1 on their site? Maybe telling us color, etc. It's hard to tell from...

    Langlitz Leathers customer services

    ^^^^ exactly that. If you're getting sick of returns, then use some common sense that 30.5 is already ringing an alarm. Check with customer to confirm. Double check against his height, etc. 2 emails or a 3 minute phone call would save a lot of hassle. For this reason I stopped my order at...

    Langlitz Leathers customer services

    and what's definition of "back measurement"? like actually measuring your back or an actual back measurement from another jacket. 5 inches sounds crazy in either case. if he's offering you full refund, take your money and run. Plenty of other good companies to make you a jacket out there

    Shinki vs Badalassi - elasticity

    It's a good question for a tailor. Part of me thinks, you want tighter so it stays put. Part of me thinks, you want looser so it doesn't stretch out. I had a similar issue with my 141. At first I thought the biswing back was too tight and the elastic was maxing out and not allowing the flap...

    Newbie ~ advice on what’s what with different jacket patterns

    That fit looks great. But something to keep in mind, what looks great is probably not going to be comfortable (at least that's what my wife tells me every time she wears anything form fitting). I think generally speaking certain styles are going to lend themselves more to layering underneath...

    Shinki vs Badalassi - elasticity

    I've got a jacket in production at FL with teacore Shinki. I was told the leather is not going to give much so I adjusted my measurements accordingly. But like others have said, I'm sure there's different types of leather from each tannery that will have different properties. In general...
