Dang! I saw this on ebay recently! Quite a nice jacket there - but I honestly think the "42" would be a bit too small for me.
Do you have shoulder, pit to pit and back length dimensions? Thank you!
Marc - I see Burberry is still at it - here is a Lambskin snap-up bomber for, well, $2650 USD.

Sounds ike they fit 100% perfect. Should be a fair struggle to get on the first time. If for any reason you decide they are not for you - DM me - we're the same size in these.
Absolutley right Monitor! I'm keeping my eyels peeled for a "44" Star these days. Preferable from the same time frame so the same leather. Just for the fun of it! :)
Ok folks, looking to have a little fun with this thread. Like the title says, what did you buy prior to being on FL that looking back, makes you wonder a bit? Can be any type of jacket here - leather, nylon, parka, denim, cotton etc. If you have photos, please post those too. Ideally of you...
Always fair to ask an honest question. You got your self quite a deal on that one, too bad you have to move it along, but if it does not fit, well, so be it. It's a "40" tag size and being NOS - conditon made in the '90's it should be no issue to sell. Use the classified here if you like.
^^ That is exactly how my Mark II Sportrider fit as well. And the smell was simply devine. I sometimes wondered if it was a type of Connelly leather, as that was the only leather I have ever sampled that smelled close to it. Truley an heirloom piece.
Hey Jerry - Welcome to Fedora Lounge! Thanks for your informative post. Could you post photos of your new jacket here? If i am anything typical of FL folks, I have very limited knowledge of thier products. Consider posting a Fit photo in What Jacket are you wearing today thread as well.
^^ indeed one of the joys of this site. Great knowledge, and people willing to share thier knowledge...
Photo2u your burgundy jacket with the nice green lining looks in amazing shape for a 1950's jacket.
It's posts such as this one that make me so appreciative for the Fedora Lounge - Outerwear. I feel at least somewhat "normal" around here. Trust me, no one in my family (extended included) "Gets" this hobby. They all just think it's crazy.
Perfect idea. Just call ahead and get an appointment first.
Don't know what size you are but this is for sale in the classified now: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/fs-aero-northeaster-40-cordovan-fqhh-heavy-duty.102732/page-2#post-2806237
Hobbes - how about something like this one? It was Tony's originally, I had it a while, sold it quite a while back. But could give some good ideas from this or another maker:

Coriu - Yes you shoud indeed buy a Vanson. If nothing else, just to check it out, which in my opinion is best done by wearing one - riding a motorbike, driving, walking, doing life.
It's been very well stated by many others already however the standout feature here is the fit, and function...
