    Patterning question

    I have three leather jackets that I wear with the following shoulder sizes: 16.5 17 17.25 The 17-inch jacket fits me the best, which is what I'm basing my numbers off of. Typically a size 36 provides me with a shoulder measurement within the 16.5 - 17-ish range.

    @jeepTj98, that's the one but mine also has the accordion-style bean holder at the top - once you've ground the beans you can push on the top to blow air through the burs so that nothing gets stuck.

    Thank you @tmitchell59, it's a cool piece and to have survived the way it has I'm guessing the hide is quality.

    @Vectrex how's Austria at the moment? Has spring begun? We're suffering a late season cold snap here in Toronto, so no one is very happy.

    Not Austria, South Texas - I live in Toronto now but I'm a big coffee guy. My favourites are the African beans of Ethiopia, Kenya, and Rwanda, good and fruity.

    I know a lot of folks here love a good Hercules. Size M by the seller, and at approximately $245 USD this could be a good one. https://jp.mercari.com/item/m14106601919 I'm not an expert but the leather looks good - the top coat is obviously worn in most places but the actual leather seems...

    @jeepTj98 I hear you about grounds not being uniform in size - that can seriously affect the taste of the coffee. The larger grounds don't extract at the same rate as the fines, which means you really want a uniform size in between. The finer grounds will immediately settle to the bottom as...

    @soreilly the seller incorrectly labels it as a J-100, which it's not. It looks like an older version of the new (now horsehide) Buco Style King. https://therealmccoys.com/collections/outerwear/products/buco-style-king Current retail is $3,550 USD, so this one at approximately $930 USD is a...

    I literally just spent almost that same money on a Eureka grinder in Ferrari red - it does wonders to the coffee experience every morning.

    @jeepTj98 that Aero looks good, and soft, like it's breaking in. Dig it that you wear it almost everyday, even in the heat. I do the same with my jackets - ridiculous as it is I'll sit in my house all day working while wearing my jacket.

    @Vectrex @jeepTj98 I too wear a 36 in almost every jacket and usually look to the market in Japan for that size. I just posted three jackets in the Finds and Deals section of this forum that might be interesting to one or both of ya'll...

    I've never seen this jacket before - bright red steer hide RMC size 42. Approximately $930 USD. Seller notes a small mark on the upper rear shoulder but it's very hard to see in the photos. https://jp.mercari.com/item/m58923424361

    Not a jacket but rather an entire yearbook of RMC from 2009. At approximately $12 USD this could be a good reference book. https://jp.mercari.com/item/m37424470453

    This RMC letterman's jacket is very cool. It's size 34 but for approximately $95 USD this thing is a steal. Seems like a small mark on the upper right chest panel but overall it looks great. https://jp.mercari.com/item/m14334196074 Shoulder width: 42cm Body width: 47cm Length: 58cm Sleeve...

    @Canuck Panda thank you very much for the visual references, they help quite a bit. I never would imagined that shoulder and chest dimensions could be so similiar. That double riders with the mouton collar is fabulous, as is the one you wear in the photo below it - I love the colors of both...
