Five Star 5* Trucker Jacket Fit Pics and comments on fit
28" for the back length of a trucker is IMO madness! I am 6'2 and my trucker has 25" back:- Carlos840

Five Star 5* Trucker Jacket Fit Pics and comments on fit
I agree with the general feedback, for me this is 1 size too large and 2 to 3" too long in body and sleeves. A trucker "should" finish at belt level, not hide your jeans pockets...- Carlos840

Thoughts about fit?
Exactly that. When i first joined TFL i thougt "this isn't the 40s anymore, i need to make these jackets work with modern jeans". Now i know i was wrong... I used to ask for 26" back length minimum, now i am happy around 24.5"-25.5" (i am 6'2"). It doesn't sound like much but it looks much...- Carlos840

Thoughts about fit?
Up untill 3 or 4 years ago i used to wear modern low rise Levi's and used to call Iron Heart 634 "dad jeans", to me they were super high waisted. I realized one day that all my jeans were too low rise and made the proportions of jackets look off. I ordered a pair of IH 634 and that's all i have...- Carlos840

Taylor Stitch x Golden Bear Moto Jacket
My jacket was a Club Monaco x Golden Bear collab, it sold new for $1250 and is made in the USA. Everything about it is cheap, it is without a doubt a mall jacket, a nice one i admit, but still nothing comparable to an Aero, Simmons Bilt, a Vanson, a Schott or any of the other brands we usually...- Carlos840

Taylor Stitch x Golden Bear Moto Jacket
You cannot compare Aero CXL Horsehide and Golden bear Steer, that's like comparing a Yugo and Corvette... There is more to it than just being leathers from different animals. For 200$ extra you get Horween leather, which is not much for very nice leather compared to no name leather. You would...- Carlos840

Taylor Stitch x Golden Bear Moto Jacket
I Have a Golden Bear jacket, IMO they are nice mall jackets, nothing really special. The leather is pretty thin and uninspiring, the construction is ok but not great, the hardware is clunky YKK. I would buy an Aero, a Vanson, or a Schott before i spent that kinda money on a Golden Bear. If you...- Carlos840

Modern "Grizzly" Jackets?
I was like you, wanted one but convinced i would never wear it, i was lucky to find one on eBay for a good deal and it has been one of my most worn winter jacket ever since. I felt like a lunatic wearing it for the first time, you definitely get a lot of weird looks, but i would still highly...- Carlos840

What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?
This got me thinking, what if Horween did a hide where they drum dye the skin indigo before applying the midnight blue top coat. Imagine the same colour, that scratches/wears to a deep indigo blue, it has the potential to be be amazing, or would it be too much? Can you take a couple closeups of...- Carlos840

Modern "Grizzly" Jackets?
Meeeeh, it looks too "clean", like a summer buzz cut teddy bear. IMO if you are going to wear a grizzly you should commit and go full floof!- Carlos840

Thoughts about fit?
Maybe i'm in the minority here, but i don't think the short front is bad. The stock 30s HB has a very prominent drop front with a downwards arrow that i think is harder to wear, a bit more old school. IMO the square front is a bit more modern. Here is a good pic of the 30's HB stock front, i...- Carlos840

How long does the "delete post" option stay? I have noticed some users are using that function to avoid having multiple bumps in a row... They delete their last bump from two or three days ago before the "delete post" option disappears and rebump, pretending nothing ever happened. Basically...- Carlos840

Leather jacket suggestions for those that don't ride
Welcome. Aero CXL is a bit lighter than Vanson Comp weight, but a bit heavier than Vanson X-150. Vanson's X-150 is a nice leather to get started, it has a nice waxiness similar to CXL but without the wet blanket feel. One thing to keep in mind is the quality of the pattern... Vanson jackets...- Carlos840
