Yeah I thought I could get the larger size and be good. I like the extended back on it. I don't know if another size up with work if it is even longer. I will call them in the morning. I ave a nearly 80 year old halfbelt already, so I don't really need another unless I find a good deal on...
I read your comment to a previous thread that you had to go up two sizes on your FCL jacket, can't recall which one it was. I like the cafe look and features like the zipped cuffs., but I will be wearing it in casual use as I no longer ride. So I don't want a tight jacket. I was starting to...
I wanted to buy a new bike style jacket. My last one several years ago was destroyed in a crash. I no longer ride. I couldn't decide so I ordered a Fox Creek Grayson. I am usually a 42, but I ordered a 44. I still is too tight. I am wondering if the cafe style is just too form fitting. I...
I am just about positive I am now going with the Fox Creek Grayson. If anyone has one in a size 44 to sell let me know. Otherwise I am going to just order a new one.
Since I have now found the Foxcreek Grayson is probably better and less expensive I think I may go in that direction. I just don't know what size to get, but I will call tomorrow.
I guess maybe I am still not sure which size to get. I was set to buy a 42, based on everythig I read about the 141 fitting regular sizes, not the fitted waist size. Then I read a post in another room that said he bought a size bigger because they run small and he finds the larger size to fit...
I last wore a cafe style racer years ago and destoryed it in a motorcycle accident. I would like another. I wear a size 42 suit jacket and understand the 141 is true to size. I want jacket that is somewhat loose. I don't ride anymore and don't want a tight fitting jacket. So I guess I...
Neatsfoot Oil is one of the absolute worst things you can use on leather long term. It destroys threads, rots leather and also turns rancid. In the old days before I knew better I ruined several good leather products with that crap. It does add a modicum of water protection, but also clogs...
Follow the advice you have already been given. The only time I put something like Pecards on a nubuck style pair of boots is when they will get hard use and really need the protection. I have several pair of Meindl hunting boots. For some reason they have all come with a napped leather, but...
I think the style has more to do with what gets attention than the hide. Some styles seem to draw attention.
I think overall HH is more common of a vintage hide than goat, at least civilian jackets. My experience has been that most vintage jackets are HH and cow leather.
But, just because...
Thanks!
I was looking at the spare leather in the sleeves and I am not sure it can be lengthened. That leather has been togehter so long now it almost seems fused together. It might tear. I will call them and see what they can do.
I am looking to buy a quality vintage, or vintage style, leather jacket. Along the lines of a motorcycle jacket, but possibly an Indy style. Size 44 'm 5'8" and around 165-170. Brown is preferrable, but black might also be possible. I don't want a long coat or an A2 style jacket. I don't...
