Morning,
Glad you like the jacket. If you're after shoulder gussets and no belt, it shouldn't be a problem at all. I wonder if including shoulder gussets are the preference for the general consensus here? If so, perhaps I'll alter the pattern completely for the men's perfecto style.
Hi all,
Found this thread by chance after I dropped a line to Jon (@leatherjacketjawn) on IG last night. I didn't manage to get to the end of the comments as it was pretty late (but just knowing that a thread had been created for RW meant I stared at the ceiling for a good hour before I managed...
Hey all,
I purchased this jacket last year from the Schott store in New York’s East Village and just haven’t worn it because it comes up a little too long for my short torso. It’s the 536W in waxy cowhide. Think I may be better off with the 218W.

Asking for 190GBP

I've spent today going through my jackets. I've put up a bunch on eBay in an attempt to minimise the collection so I can save up for something special. I have far too many and none are "perfect".
I like this one I picked up in the States but the back sleeve panels bother me. The hide on the...
I've just been quoted £100 by a local leather garment repairman here in London. He seems to have a bunch of really great reviews and also makes custom leather jackets. We'll see... Perhaps I'll visit his store once the apocalypse is over.
I've been acquainted with Mr Himel and from what I've gathered so far, he's a really lovely guy. Super helpful. Adore Himel jackets and I've heard so many great things but I'll definitely have to acquire a few more 0's on my bank statement before I can splurge on one of those bad boys.
