    Freewheelers LA BREA size 38 Rude Black

    I agree with @Robbie79 that's a perfect fit! I understand if you don't want the jacket because it's not a style you enjoy or if it is uncomfortable to wear, but if you are selling it only because of a perceived bad fit issue, i would rethink that. It looks great!

    OOOPS! (a gallery of jackets that weren't right)

    My biggest failure, the San Mateo. Numbers looked good, but on arrival i quickly realized it was unwearable for me. I couldn't zip it up, couldn't move my arms, it was just too tight. It took me a year to sell it on...

    Is this jacket too long?

    I like the sleeve length, but i would remove length in the body. To me it looks 1/2" to 1" too long. I wouldnt like to have the knit hide the front pockets.

    Legendary Products Horsehide Black Horse jacket Size 40/42

    Is the zip out liner included or missing? I see a zipper in the inside of the jacket.

    Face Masks And other DIY projects

    What's more crazy to me is the obvious lack of understanding of things that the average person has! Yesterday i had to go out to buy food, saw this group of 3 people in the underground in full glove and facemask outfit. They walked down the escalators holding the handrail all the way down, then...

    Picked up a Vanson Comet

    It's a shame we don't have recorded forum posts from people in the late 60s, i am sure we would still find great posts of people saying "there is no need for a seat belt in a car, i have driven everywhere without one since 1930 and have never needed a seat belt, if it was mandatory i would just...

    Face Masks And other DIY projects

    Agree, also what is the point of wearing a face mask if you are not wearing goggles? To me the most important things are taking your shoes off when getting home so as not to trail nasties inside, washing your hands first thing when getting in, and not touching things with your hands then...

    Lining Repair

    I think the main problem with your add is the lack of good pictures... You have three pics, non show the jacket's overall condition, the state of the grain, the condition of the lining, nothing. I wouldn't spend £275 without knowing what i am spending it on. It's like trying to sell a car by...

    PSA: No z150 or x150 leather for a while (Vanson)

    It will if somebody tries to hit you on the head to steal your toilet paper.

    Vanishing point fit?

    Front looks great, i wouldn't change a thing. You nailed it first try, well done, welcome.

    do you dare to commit to wear a single jacket for a month through all your waking hours?

    Yep, been doing it every day since i got it. With all my work canceled and the "stay home" policy i am basically wearing the jacket all day at home, spraying it throughout the day. Also every time i take if off during the day i hold it by the back of the collar, lift it shoulder height then drop...

    do you dare to commit to wear a single jacket for a month through all your waking hours?

    End of day four, things are really starting to soften up and mould to me, grain is really popping out, stretch marks are getting more pronounced... I love the marbling on the back.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I just rubbed the greasy cloth that i use to apply Pecard's on my pits and it has helped a lot, i gained +25 to Sneak. Thanks for the tip. Edit: I just did the inside of the belt too and gained another 25 points!

    DISCOVERED: Fedora Lounge Coffee Mugs

    My first thought was the opposite as yours, i thought that since the cup was a larger heat sink it would release heat faster, but actually higher thermal mass means it also releases it slower and you are indeed correct. Basically it's the same logic as cast iron vs steel radiators...

    Aero Highwayman - ten years old..

    For me its not about ease of upload but picture size. I think the maximum size allowed by the on-site uploader is basically a waste of time, you can't see anything on these pictures! It might be ok if you use TFL on your phone, but to me being able to click on a pic and have a good resolution...

    do you dare to commit to wear a single jacket for a month through all your waking hours?

    Please say it is so. If it ends up looking the same i'll be happy.
