    Show your Langlitz

    It would be cool if you and the other PNW guys made a Langlitz trip, like the UK guys meeting at Lewis.

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    The elbows are the first place a jacket breaks in. From the looks of things this is as stiff as it'll be, so that's likely what you're feeling. The big area that stops arm mobility is the upper arm, when there's insufficient space. Johnson always makes sure that's catered for, and from the...

    <<< Field Leathers ~ The Chicago jacket >>>

    On the contrary, you're a highlight! (Though I do see you on the⌚forums too!) But I think your own journey, which has included a wide range of the best makers, has really driven in the lesson that having a pattern that works for you is not "the most important" factor; it's the determining...

    Looking for recommendations for bomber/moto racer mash

    They do. Zippered front pockets aren't a thing on flight jackets generally, and definitely not this type. Vanson Comet, without question. As a special event, it's currently available to order in a wide range of leathers without needing to place a special order.

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    Do you mean the Freewheelers one? I think that was more a function of certain Japanese brands' tendency to both skive seams and have high stitch density combined with denim bros' tendency to downsize everything. Turns seams into postage stamps lol.

    Looking for recommendations for bomber/moto racer mash

    Personally I like them best in heavyweight flight nylon but there are leather options because lots of police departments do a modified version of the B-15/MA-1 as a patrol jacket. This Taylor's should cover you I think.

    I think it would be hard to outdo your Good Wear. I know how tempting the hobby is though.

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    Yes, that's Fidelity. Picked one of these up for my friend for $100 and I'd say it's easily worth more. Aero is unlikely to give you handwarmer pockets on a B-3, as usually they reproduce wartime contracts, however you'd have two options. You could go for a D-1 or B-6, which have handwarmer...

    Aero Ridley Natural FQHH - 40

    You're not being attacked. You're a new account and unfortunately there are a lot of scams in this stuff so he was just checking. I know your situation though. The Ridley cut is just too slim imo. It's not so much the chest as the way it tapers quickly into a slim straight cut.

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    As black leathers go, I really liked their 'standard' hides. If not for the shrunken grain, I would have gone with the glossy cowhide option.

    Iron Heart „Pale Rider“ Evolution Thread

    Did you ask Aero first? I love JL, just curious because Aero has more CXL than anyone and usually cheaper.

    As in you got the jacket and then had the yoke switched out?

    Legendary USA Black Stallion

    I mean the context is that we had a 26 page discussion of this that spanned half a year. You're seeing this as backlash to your single post, which it's not.

    Legendary USA Black Stallion

    I'm glad he's been good to you and that he's gifted you vintage Becks. That's to be commended. However I mention it for newcomers because several forum members have had trouble with purchases, fulfillment, returns, etc since Chris took over whereas we had universally positive experiences of...

    Legendary USA Black Stallion

    I think you have an amazing vintage collection but you should really disclose in your original post that you are an official affiliate of Legendary USA, which makes this post an advertisement so it should be clearly labeled as such. Furthermore, I assume you're aware of the sordid background of...

    Kit Karson Jackets

    Zoltan Hajnal of Advanced European Tailoring is the guy you're thinking of. I meant to visit his shop when I was in Berkeley but didn't get the chance. He sources and repairs tons of vintage to send to the Japanese market and you can buy it direct.

    Might be my favorite proportions yet on a “Perfecto-type” jacket.
