Himel Frobisher

The more I look at this jacket the more I'm convinced it's the nicest slim fitting Halfbelt I've ever seen. I love the longer length, trim silhouette, single pointed back yoke, the pleat...all of it. Just spot on perfection. Really well done!

 

[tmitchell59]

You may have found the One. Very nice!

Stunning, perhaps nirvana. You, Superfluous, now sit in the sky among the jacket gods. Please look after us mere mortals, and show us the way. Bring us rain cool jacket weather, and good fortune.

I doubt I could "pull it off" but it's a great looking jacket...

Leather is aggressively black, those pocket triangles suggest conspiracy, water in the background is too murky, and Talon chain pull is facing the wrong way. I believe a remake is in order.

One of the benefits of working with a small shop is the possibility of customization. You and Dave nailed the fit on this jacket.

 

[handymike]

I know you like your jackets on the longer side, but I think slightly shorter would look super-smart too

 

[SpeedRcrX]

Very beautiful jacket, it's a classic and timeless design.

You wear it well!

 

[samo]

I agree, this one and Your black RMC deer skin jackets are among the best fitting jackets around here

 

[ButteMT61]

I agree. Great fit, too (well except for one sleeve)..

OK, I gotta ask...what's the scoop on the sleeves? One does look a bit shorter?

My left arm is 1.5 inches longer than my right. To make matters worse, my left shoulder is meaningfully higher than my right (look at the photo -- its dramatic).

 

[Fanch]

Better for one arm to be 1 1/2" longer than the other than one leg 1 1/2" longer than the other.

 

[Monitor]

I hope I don't need to clarify that this is basically a perfect jacket that fits you the way you simply can't improve on.

Ahhh. I have a separated left shoulder and it droops as well. I'm sure that if I got off of my *ss and worked out again, I could get it stronger and less of an issue, but well, I've been lazy lately and don't see a change on the horizon.

 

[tblay]

First of all, this jacket, and the fit, is just incredible. Wow!

I've dislocated my left shoulder five times and had two rotator cuff surgeries. Thankfully, it doesn't droop, but my left arm is much leaner than my right because I can't use it as much. On my latest Langlitz (delivered tomorrow!), the right arm bicep and forearm area will fit better than the left. I can sympathize. Still, these are small details that I'm sure seem more obvious to us than others.

 

[dudewuttheheck]

Absolutely beautiful. I must say I like this even more than your RMC halfbelts and you know how much I love RMC. Your collection is now the one I envy the most in the leather jacket world along with Davito from IH forum.

 

[jacketjunkie]

I have seen you posting only good fitting jackets to this day, but this one is still outstanding from all these others. Fit is perfect and the leather looks amazing. I immediately got jealous and started checking out Himel. One of the best fitting jackets I have seen on these boards, for sure! The pricing has kept me away from him until now, can get three Johnson Leathers from Alan for that after all, but now that he's introducing his budget steerhide line, I will probably pull the trigger.

 

[handymike]

The Steerhide doesn't disappoint!
It's beautiful stuff.

 

[Jägernaut]

The goat looks outstanding as well and is even cheaper.

 

[handymike]

The goat is a great choice for warmer climates. It's lightweight and flexible. The sample was pretty shiny though, and I don't know if it will dull down anytime soon. It sure felt good though.
