I got one new 5 star leather jacket coming in hopefully tomorrow, one used schott and one used simmons bilt coming following days 8)
Damn it! I should have trusted my gut on the blurry pic of the label. Says 36 not 38 and it’s too small.
Wearing it with a work shirt and a sleeveless sweater underneath. I’m +5kg heavier than I should but it feels a bit tight across the chest and the vent stays open with my bum.
Lost Worlds makes amazing stuff. This is stiff! I doubt it has ever been worn at all. View attachment 491388 View attachment 491389 View attachment 491390 View attachment 491391

Sizing/price?This Diesel just landed and while I plan on flipping it as it's too large for me (plus I don't wear these anymore), the quality is in all honesty and seriousness on par with any RMC and above Aero. Shocking how quality this jacket is & especially the leather.

Sizing/price?
Observe; I've just listed it to Grailed & the measurements are...
P2P: 25"
Waist: 19.5" (yeah, huge taper!)
Shoulders: 21.2"
Back: 22.5"
Sleeves: 25.5"
Thanks, couple inches too short in the body for me. Love the aggressive taper though, hopefully some dorito shaped man finds your listing.

It also has an inside chest pocket on the left and an inside hip pocket on the right.Looks completely new!
The peacoat is a great pattern, so useful in travelling and day to day life.
The thing is that I can move in it, I don't feel too restricted but since it's supposed to be outerwear I feel weird wearing it so snug as I can't really layer a thick jumper underneathor wear wider trousers (The ones on the photo are my slim 20s style trousers).Looks superb from where I'm sitting!
Hey Willy:
Fit is perfect on you.
Is this denim??
Down the road in several years this jacket should be epic like a Levis jacket all soft, creased and faded.
Peacoat has a feel all it’s own.
Cool

Not a bad design but if I'm going for a vintage coat I'd like something double breasted.Might be a little different than the look you’re going for but there are still great deals to be had on NOS Swedish M39 jackets. I paid around $40 CAD for mine, though I also had to buy buttons because the factory back in ‘42 hadn’t gotten around to them yet.
So far, out of 3 jackets I was waiting for only one made it to me.
Simmons Bilt Tailgunner, size 42 in some natural horsehide (wondering what that leather is, it's very nice!)
Apart from sleeves being a tad to long, but the zippers help a lot with that, it's pretty much best fit I could ask for. Feels really comfortable.
Second hand, but obviously plenty of life in it, still lots of patina to be done with me wearing it.
