Had an all around great experience dealing with @Rm759. We had a wonderful chat about getting into leather jackets and discussing our collections.
Welcome to the Lounge!
I've had them for a few months and they're great quality for the price. One thing to note is the fit of my black one is significantly more snug than my navy one. Curious to know if others here have the same experience.
Hello TFL,
Up for sale is my size 42 RC Speedster in mint condition. Only worn indoors a few times to gauge the fit but I've come to the conclusion I'm in between sizes for RC. Still needs to be broken in.
Measurements:
Pit-to-pit - 22.25
Shoulder - 19.5
Back length - 25.5
Sleeve length - 25...
Ahh great find, but way too small for me. The world of leather jackets is so much more accessible for smaller guys. Plenty of deals to be found. Although I shouldn't be one to talk because I'm 42 which is still fairly common (maybe not so much for Japanese jackets), just not as good of a deal...
Great fit! Unfortunately they also come with the FW tax which is hard to swallow.
I also really like your FL aviator. That jacket looks like it has a nice V taper too.
You're in luck. There's actually one in size 36 on Mercari Japan right now. You'll need to buy it through a proxy so I recommend reading up on how to use them. The popular ones are FromJapan or Buyee. Don't forget to utilize their coupons as well for the discounts.
Good luck!
I remember seeing the name of that jacket too but can't recall at this point. It has the narrower collar, similar to the Michigan Wind model above, which I think I prefer over the more splay collar of the Sugar Cane aviator.
Unfortunately it's really rare to come across a size 42 in these old...
Looks fantastic, almost indistinguishable unless looking closely!
Is the fray stop some sort of glue? Wonder if I could use it on the fraying end of the zipper tape of my Field Leather jacket to prevent it from fraying further.
Yes this is the one that I've seen too. I saw somewhere that their size 40 jackets have a 25.5 inch back length so the size 42 may be way too long for this style, which is my main concern. But I know numbers only tell half the story so I wanted to see if anybody has experience with it.
The...
Does anyone own or just have any thoughts on the Sugar Cane Aviator Jacket?
Curious to know what the leather is like and how the fit is. I feel like in the Sugar Cane jackets I've seen, the torso is really long, which doesn't work for me.
I have the itch to add an aviator to my collection and...
