Leather jacket sizing, too big or small?
Oh, it doesn't come in numbered sizes? Just letter generic sizes, eh? I think Monitor is right. A different size probably won't fit you better. The sleeves might be shorter or the chest might fit better, but something else might fit wrong. If I tried that on in a store, and that's what I saw in...- Doctor Death

Leather jacket sizing, too big or small?
I think it's a size too big, but I can't say for sure because you haven't zipped it up. The sleeves look a touch long, although for motorcycle riding they should be a bit long, usually down to the mid-palm. This one comes down a bit longer than that though. The upper chest near the armpits are...- Doctor Death

Paul Newman's jackets in movie "Slap Shot"
I'm going to look at that black leather jacket more carefully and start looking around for one that might be similar. It looks kind of cool, at least I think so. Could wear it anywhere, date night, beater jacket. Looks relatively thin. Good during late spring, early fall.- Doctor Death

Paul Newman's jackets in movie "Slap Shot"
You know, it's been a while since I watched the movie straight through. Looks like you're right, in the scene with the rich bitch team owner, Newman is wearing the brown jacket plus matching brown pants. So they probably had that jacket and pants made for him for this movie. Must have been...- Doctor Death

Paul Newman's jackets in movie "Slap Shot"
"They favored a plastic-looking grain-corrected leather that I don't much care for." Yeah, that might be why I thought the brown jacket looked a bit like vinyl. The movie was released in 1977, probably filmed in 1976.- Doctor Death

Paul Newman's jackets in movie "Slap Shot"
Yeah, it was probably leather. But he plays a player/coach in a minor league hockey club in Charlestown. And lives in a very small apartment. So I take it he's not supposed to be a rich jock or anything like that. And the jacket looks a bit like vinyl, from the way it reflects light. Hard to...- Doctor Death
