That looks terrific and the fit is perfect, but to my eyes it looks as though it's dyed. It's undeniably brown, isn't it?
Either way, beautiful jacket.
Ha. I've just realised I most likely won't be going along to this as I'm at the Malle Mike festival next weekend so won't get the opportunity.
Still, the Malle should be great fun and I'm looking forward to it. I've never been before.
I'm curious, presumably you're wearing these with your jeans not tucked in? Is there any noticeable difference between the darkening on the leather of the foot compared to the shaft of the boot where they're hidden?
It doesn't look from your photo like there's any difference, but I suppose I...
Goldtop have the 3rd birthday of their bricks and mortar store on 21st July.
I might ride over on my little Trumpet.

I'd actually quite like to know people's Instagram names, as there's plenty of FL members whose accounts I would follow on Instagram.
I don't post any pictures on my Instagram, I just have it so I can follow people.
Deceptive wording on their website if they're manufacturing elsewhere.

Has anyone heard of Lanx Shoes?

Shoes and boots made in Britain, with some lovely traditional designs and a not-too-painful price point.
I'd be interested to hear if they're as good as they look.
I think you've got too much room there too, tbh. The whole jacket looks too big on you in my view - the body is long, and also too wide all the way down. There's excess leather bagging out in front of the shoulders and the sleeves look quite loose.
I'd try again for a better fit with a...
The first time I went to the shop I took a photo wearing the 617. Let me root about and see if I can find it...
Edit: ah, my mistake. It was their cross zip Lancer jacket. Apologies, terrible photo. But it shows the decent cropped length.
Don't know. I did have a long chat with the current owner last time I was in the shop. He was holding forth on the process of putting things through CE assessment to get the AAA. But I didn't discover how the new version of the company came about.
He showed me his own personal jacket, which was...
Interesting you mention that, as I found them small too.
I would expect to fit comfortably in a 40, but when I tried their 1958 model I needed a 42. And it was perfect - the best-fitting jacket I've ever put on.
I'd concur with this. I've visited the store twice in person and tested the patience of the staff (and once the owner) by exhaustively trying on pretty much everything. I thought the leather and the construction of the jackets was excellent.
Also AAA rated as PPE, so pretty comprehensively...
Apologies to @newtojackets for an aside, but iirc you ride @red devil .
What do you wear for riding? Any of your esoteric jackets, or something more pragmatic?
I just tried to look at it and I got sent straight to a Chinese porn site, from inputting mymilitarysurplus.com in my browser address bar.
Bit embarrassing.
