    Someone talk me out of this or not :)

    yeah, waiting to see yours, Justin. I may end up being swayed back to the SB. But I'm really digging that Indian/Ridley combo. This is probably my last jacket before I institute a one in/one out. Simply have no more closet space, so I've reached the end. But going to make the last one count...

    Someone talk me out of this or not :)

    yep. the killer drop LOL. Unfortunately there's not a lot of photos of the Indian Ranger and the ones there are, all appear to be above belt line or at best half way. But like we said, so many factors, with the rise of pants, torso length, etc. My usual comfort zone is about 26. So if I end...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    yes, it was very impulsive for me. I was not happy with all the baggyness behind the arms. So first I sewed up half way the biswing and it helped alot, it left a more natural looking biswing, but the body was still boxy. At that point, I should have focused on the mid section and would have...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    nice. Great idea. I tried to get this when he shipped out my jacket, but he didn't look at the details I asked for. I wanted samples of the knitting colors, sheep skin, etc. He sent the basic leather stuff (but no buffalo or distressed versions). So, like everything else, just be clear with...

    As always, this forum is a double edged sword of great advice and great inclination to spend money on things I want and not necessarily things I need : ) But many thanks to you. Definitely opened up my eyes to maybe try something on the shorter side. In talking with Carrie and also seeing Mr...

    not fair, you guys are just piling on now LOL. All beautiful stuff. Need to think about the epaulette equation now. To be or not to be.

    Someone talk me out of this or not :)

    you're the devil on my right shoulder, Carlos. Damn you LOL. I got an email out to Carrie to see if I start over what the cost difference will be. I wanted my next cross zip to be sans epaulettes. Love how Mr. Proper's turned out. So that maybe the deciding factor as well. But appreciate...

    Someone talk me out of this or not :)

    yeah, I'm diving into some former threads. I think 24.75, most likely less, is too short. I know some can pull off that above the belt look, but it ain't me. Plus the jacket is very tapered, so I feel like if it's too short, it will look matador-ish to not allow the lines to properly lay out...

    too many a lot of things. I need to stop.

    can they adjust on a stock item? It's already made, ready to ship, etc.

    Someone talk me out of this or not :)

    Was getting ready to put in an order for a Simmons Bilt classic biker. Was going to go with the Lux leather (teacore) either black or dark brown. The big thing for me is I already have 2 Schott black cross zips, so was looking for something reasonably different. I figured either a brown...

    Thedi

    I would almost buy this on the chance I drop 50 pounds. Looks so damn good. GLWS, someone has to swoop this up before I get crazy thoughts.

    I need a Thedi in my life. But I need $1500 to magically appear into my bank account first. Keeping fingers crossed for some holiday sales :rolleyes:

    New jacket day! Thedi Atlas

    well done. Had my eye on those. Was wondering what it would look like on a "normal" person and not someone wearing green pants LOL. Looks great. The wallet can't take any more though.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Any ideas on what this is? Don't think it's Schott. But looks nice. Probably after market zipper and liner. https://www.ebay.com/itm/vintage-MOTORCYCLE-schott-perfecto-LEATHER-jacket-40-42-medium-black/352975786273?hash=item522eff1121:g:6F0AAOSwpOVciXF7

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    need to get better at my back shots... and not to mention finally clean my mirror and put away my laundry LOL I would not go through this exercise again. Luckily oh man how lucky I found a competent tailor few blocks from my house. I went in for like 4 fittings. No way this could have...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    thanks, man. I know you're a Schott afficionado so I appreciate that. I love their stuff, but the sizing is crazy. Their cross zips fit me pretty good off the shelf for whatever reason, but I"ve returned like 4 other models and have now altered 2 in big way to get them just right. The...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Schott 141 that has had some major alterations. Part of this was me not understanding all the different components of a jacket. I've come to realize I'm not a big fan of the biswing back. A little bit around the arms/shoulder socket is ok, but don't like the deep cuts along the whole back...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    bottom right is where I put coconut oil/beeswax conditioner. It darkened, but I don't like the texture. Anyway, was expecting it to be more natural/tan color like the website, but it's like a caramel brown. He's using flash photography and like I said, I wouldn't trust any color reference on...
