    Double Helix Works?

    Thanks! If I'm not mistaken, you've had some really high-end jackets from other Japanese makers. How do you feel the DH stacks up? I haven't seen or handled anything from the likes of, say, Freewheelers, RMC or Rainbow Country.

    Double Helix Works?

    Thanks! Oops, that reminds me, I meant to mention the fit. This is tagged a size 40. I'm right between 38 and 40 with a 39" actual chest measurement. This fits more or less like a 38, in my opinion. I'd love to have tried a 42, but as it was secondhand that wasn't an option.

    Double Helix Works?

    Thought I'd add my take on Double Helix here. I picked up this Hugging the Curve jacket about a year ago secondhand for a great price, and it's been my favorite ever since. It's my first and only Japanese leather jacket. Good Stuff: The leather. IMO the perfect balance… durable but...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Lee 101j today. Probably the most comfortable leather jacket I've owned. Thick and soft with a nice drape to it.

    FS: Pike Brothers N1 deck jacket sz. M

    Does this one have the elephant sleeves issue? I had to pass on one I tried on as it looked ridiculous, but I've seen plenty of fit pics of these that look great…

    Show your graining

    Recent pickup: a 90's era cross zip from BOY London. Best graining I've ever had in hand. Unfortunately, though it's tagged size 40, the back length is a ridiculous 55cm / 21.5"

    That might be the most intense grain I've seen on the front panels of a cafe racer. Certainly one from Vanson!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Double Helix Hugging the Curve today. This one is my favorite of all my jackets. This has not quite a year of wear on it

    Leather Trucker Levi's / Lee / Type-whatever jackets!

    Another recent pickup: this one is a Lee 101J made of some rather thick and characterful lambskin… feels more like sheep. Tagged large, but the shoulders and arms fit like a 40, and the chest and waist fit like a 38.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Wearing my Simmons Bilt half belt in Appaloosa horsehide. One of the most beautiful hides I've handled, but it squeaks like Badalassi…

    Leather Trucker Levi's / Lee / Type-whatever jackets!

    Picked up this Superdry Premium suede type III for a song. Nothing super high quality or particularly rugged, but it has a nice lining and in my opinion the fit is not bad at all. My only complaint is the seams at mid-arm.

    Fit Check Thread for Jackets

    Fit check on this Simmons Bilt. It's a 38, though I generally wear a 40. Got a great deal on it, basically unworn. Half belt in appaloosa brown horsehide, made by Moira.
