    Schott Style 618 in Brown Leather.

    Seems like you got the right size. Best thing to get it broken in is getting it wet and wearing it. You’ll soon have a great range of movement in it.

    Vintage Aero Jacket

    Blue Label Highwayman, probably because of the grain difference between panels. Not sure which leather that would be; could be russet Jerky?

    Wool Coat

    Do you mean this one? Hard to make a suggestion before knowing the coat type you mean.

    Field Leathers

    It hasn't been very useful in my case yet. I'm hoping it's just a case of the navy Shinki needing break in, because it's quite stiff; the scenario I'm more afraid of is that it's due to the quite narrow upper sleeve and that's causing the arm to 'catch'. From today's update I was very excited...

    Freewheelers Mulholland Alternative

    I like small details and I own plenty of things from the Japanese repro makers but with few exceptions, the western fans who seek them out do so entirely because they’re 1) Japanese and 2) the brand names grant you clout in denim circles. I guarantee you (because I’ve tested it, including the...

    MA-1 Flight jacket

    This isn’t an MA-1 thing in particular; common issue with Bronson.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I like the flare! I think the untucked shirt exaggerates it. My coat is sort of tangentially related in that it’s by another maker of USN jackets.

    branded garments orchard M/C sasquatch size giveaway

    I have a 6'5" uncle who it might fit, but I wouldn't know how to ask him.

    I got a jacket today that was in town yesterday for the same reason!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Buzz Rickson's William Gibson, "slender cut" version. One thing I've noticed about the Buzz "slender" cut jackets, though, is that they're not an RMC-style skinny fit. Rather, where an MA-1 or N-3B would normally be designed to wear over a full flight suit (hence the massive width on issued...

    This is magnificent. Don't sell it (but let us get dibs when you do).

    Freewheelers Mulholland Alternative

    Mine didn't have a badge holder, and if I got a new one I would specify no badge holder. As Japanese takes on civi CHP jackets go, I really liked the one that Toys McCoy did. Much better proportions. I would take it over the Mulholland.

    Freewheelers Mulholland Alternative

    It's just a pocket/belt loop variant of a Cal. The CHP type isn't inherently a police jacket, so I fail to see how this would be "cop cosplaying". Projection?

    Freewheelers Mulholland Alternative

    Yeah part of my interest in a Sheeley is that he's nearby. Plus he uses 1930s techniques that are basically otherwise dead. Try contacting him here.

    Freewheelers Mulholland Alternative

    FW Mulholland looks good but it's also the definition of hyped. The pigment Shinki is a fine leather but also no better than comparable hides. Ultimately it's just a civilian CHP, and excellent CHPs are made by a number of makers, including (of course) the Californian makers like Johnson and...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Brand new it cost $400-500 in today's dollars, so the premium is minimal considering the age and preservation. I paid about that amount for a new (but on sale) lined Filson Mackinaw fairly recently. Buzz Rickson's William Gibson N-3B, but a fair few lounge-adjacent (both outerwear forum and...

    Want Indy Jones jacket with the correct drape that stays more to the sides.

    I think every Bond era has leaned into fashion somewhat (seen most in the casual wear), but through the 80s his suits were bespoke so the fit itself wasn't a trend-chasing thing. In the 90s, they wanted to make Bond seem as European as possible (though blessedly his shirts and ties were still...

    I love how the guys like me who want our buckles to hang all complain about the buckle snap but the real riders pretty much universally appreciate it. Jacket fits you brilliantly.
