    Schott 689 length check

    Really looks like you nailed the fit on this model. Looks amazing.

    Searching for RMC Mobster Sz 40 or FW Mulholland Sz 42

    I expect a mod will see this and move it to the Classifieds.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I think it should be okay. The period photos of these don't show them to be super short on their wearers. I don't think it's going to end up looking like the Fine Creek maternity aviator.

    Vintage Jackets You Regret Not Buying

    Just popping in to say I don't think anything looks better with age than goatskin, goodness. That jacket is stunning.

    Question about Aero and alterations

    Repro companies wanting to keep the military reproductions as close to spec as possible isn't really crazy. The majority of "B-3", Irvin, etc jackets on the market are civilianized versions with those tweaks already made, so this is a unique selling proposition for the repro companies...

    Five Bucos

    It kind of looked cool unzipped, but I could barely zip it (running heavier this year than usual but I think it would have been a little too trim for comfort even at my normal size). I have one jacket that fits like this (made a thread about it) but as a factory sale find and given the hefty...

    What is going on with this site???

    I don't think it's likely to be local to our systems.

    What is going on with this site???

    I don't think it's just us, but I wasn't getting it before this week, and I'm not getting it right now. Hopefully whatever vulnerability has been patched.

    What is going on with this site???

    I've had it at least since yesterday. Slowdown is one thing but I figured the mods would want to know about potential malware.

    Five Bucos

    I had to move it on immediately because it made me too sad seeing it hanging by me just too small even with a tee. Had to see the thing done some justice. Part of the tragedy of it was that the length was actually perfect, which I've not experienced often with vintage cross zips, and the...

    What is going on with this site???

    Hi all, Most recently the site has been redirecting to me what seems to be some kind of malware/spam page. It happened again while I was writing this comment.

    What's with the Kadoya all of the sudden?

    No offense taken! These things are part of the learning process.

    What's with the Kadoya all of the sudden?

    At a glance, at least, it looks great.

    What's with the Kadoya all of the sudden?

    I have to slightly defend Five Star here because the terrible design changes (to the base Perfecto) here were specifically requested by a TFL member, and I remember telling him at the time that it would ruin the balance of the design. The funny thing is even this Five Star has a better pocket...

    What's with the Kadoya all of the sudden?

    Sure, but I'd still take it over FCL Leon, SLP moto, or LW Speed Demon. (That last one makes me sad because the quality is obviously there, but the strange position of the ticket pocket makes it look like a Pakistani knockoff.)

    What's with the Kadoya all of the sudden?

    I mean if it's going to look sci fi I'd rather it look space marine than power ranger. I like the leather and the details here that are twists on what we're used to. I like that it doesn't look like a poor man's Lightning/Perfecto as both expensive (SLP everything, LW Speed Demon, FCL Leon) and...

    I've seen these in Tanaka's Schott book.

    What's with the Kadoya all of the sudden?

    Must have been astroturfed by some influencer. Mind you I never had any negative feelings about Kadoya; I always saw them as a Japanese market equivalent of something like Fox Creek or other more technical motorcyclist market brands.
