    NEW A-2 (Hand-rubbed) HINOYA, TOKYO

    A beautiful A-2! Is that russet or seal? It's hard to tell from the photo.

    Thurston Bros. - Official Affiliate Thread

    Carrie, is that an extra pocket sewn onto the liner above the Thurston label, visible in the 4th photo?

    FQHH - loosening/stretching?

    It's occurred to me, the pictures of my Bronco, that just might be bigger than 24 P2P. The truth is, I gave that jacket some hot water treatment, because the back was so billowing. That's a whole 'nother thread.

    These perspectives from experience are exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks guys.

    FQHH - loosening/stretching?

    The Bootlegger does though. That's a good option too. I've definitely become enamored of the Premier fit for this jacket. I've got another BL that I sized for layering, which I've posted about. I'm after trimmer for this one. Thanks.

    FQHH - loosening/stretching?

    I hear you. I will most definitely be giving my measurements to Holly - including stomach and waist - and heeding her advice.

    FQHH - loosening/stretching?

    Your distinction between stretching and relaxing is spot on. That makes perfect sense. The extra room some people perceive after breaking in is the jacket settling, so to speak.

    FQHH - loosening/stretching?

    Good feedback. I guess where I was going with this is, with a resting chest measurement if around 43, a 46 jacket chest sounded reasonable, if snug. My Bronco has a P2P of 24, and it's trim, but I could conceive of losing an inch, if I had to. I most definitely wouldn't want to if it led to an...

    FQHH - loosening/stretching?

    Hi everyone. I wanted some perspectives from those of you familiar with this hide. I'm close to ordering a Premier fit Bootlegger. I'm after a trimmer fit, and if I can anticipate some stretch and give after the leather breaks in, I will definitely factor that into the sizing, and probably go...

    Vegetable tanned vs. Chrome tanned (by some guy from the interweb)

    Can you expand on that a bit?

    Facing reality - most Vintage jackets will not fit me

    I find with a lot of jackets - certainly on my Bootlegger and A-2 - that due to the front dip of almost all pants and jeans, often the front of the jacket can be above the belt, while the back covers it. I can live with an exposed belt buckle for this reason. It's when the rear of the belt is...

    Cordovan Chromexcel Steerhide Bootlegger - fit opinions and random thoughts wanted

    I've already stated this, but just to reiterate - Carrie got me into exactly the jacket I said I wanted. I just kind of reoriented my vision for a Bootlegger after getting it. Hats off to her.

    First post - looking for advice for a "do it all" jacket (Aero Premier Highwayman - Belmondo style)

    I think Mr. Ford looks like a crumpled guy from the housing estate because his A-2 is about 2 sizes too big. Look how the shoulder seams are hanging off his shoulders. I can never get behind that look.

    Cordovan Chromexcel Steerhide Bootlegger - fit opinions and random thoughts wanted

    After much deliberation, I've decided to keep that bad boy. It will stay my cold weather layering jacket, and will have a younger, trimmer fitting brother in the Spring. Thanks everyone for their interest, and their input.
