Can I ask what dimensions you sent them (or did you post already)? I think I’d be able to ratio it to my body size and would be plenty happy with this jacket in 1.2mm hh
Edit: It really is impressive how great this turned out… flawless from the looks of it.
I was contemplating putting this one up for sale, but after thinking about it I realized the fit doesn’t bother me. It was the squeak. So I gave it a treatment with pecard’s and let it dry in the sun; low and behold, squeak eliminated and I’m back to enjoying the unlined goodness on these days...
Ya, I think I got lucky. Yours looks better imo, fit is spot on, but I love mine more with each wear. It’s really easy to wear and I’m already keeping my eyes open for restocks of it in black haha.
Both of them admittedly appear amazing. Add in the customization of lining, stitch color, fit and details, the value looks remarkable. Looking forward to your review!
This. I’m thinking about the Trophy Hummingbird because I’m not sure I want to put out 300-400 hundred for a spot in my closet that could be held by something that is of a consistent quality. I mean, at a certain point, the cost per wear is going to pay off and I don’t like going cheap and being...
I believe in previous posts it was stated that the black leathers used by 5* are struck through. Has anyone found a black that is "tea-core" from them (preferable HH)?
I wonder if there’s properties of shell besides cost that keep it consigned to the use of footwear and wallets… like the smaller panels needing to all be stitched together to make the back might make it look odd, like patchwork. Could be really cool if done right, though… just wouldn’t fit...
It’s a 42. I agree on the sleeves, especially, but tbh I was worried they’d be too long and too big around so since they’re close I’m ok with it.
What was the deal with the one that was a 38, if I can ask?
I think that was what gave me the impression I’m getting. I went so far as to ask for a leather tailor recommendation, anticipating that 25” sleeves would be too long. Guess the lining must make up the difference, but I have no clue.
Edit- Feels good unzipped, maybe a tad restrictive zipped...
Hi all, just picked up this jacket (you'll recognize it if you’ve been browsing the buy sell page recently), and wanted to get a fit check. It’s not my first leather jacket, but the others have been motorcycle specific (read Icon/Dianese… d3 armor, padded, you know the type). Aside from this, I...
Same here, carrots and a new set of cheap, dull knives at someone’s house warming party. Wet carrot rolled under the blade, blade slid down the side of my middle finger, just to the nail bed. Poured tequila on it, held it w a paper towel for an hour, super glued and good as new haha.
Man, thank you for this. I’ve been lurking hard in this thread (as well as others), and before I could make up my mind on measurements and style on a 5*, my impulsivity/compulsivity got the better of me and a bought two jackets, one ebay, one that was posted on this forum. I was stressing out...
