How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

Leather shirt for very little money.

Levi vest

And a Brooks vest, size 40. I have one that fits me. Too nice to pass

Didn't think I was cafe racer kinda guy but I'm loving this RMC Buco J-100 I just received.

 

[Jiantle]

Went a little crazy this week since I got a new job. Just received this Double Helix Deviant in my usual size 42. Anyone else thinks it looks a size too big? I could layer a hoodie underneath comfortably.

Also coming next week: ELMC Californian in Havana Brown, picked up during the ongoing clearance sale.

I wouldn't want the sleeves any shorter. Maybe once the leather relaxes a bit it'll look less rigid. I think you're slightly between sizes but a size down would be too small. It certainly doesn't look oversized. It looks great zipped up.

That's what I was thinking. My monkey arms will make the sleeves on a size 40 too short. I certainly didn't expect it to fit this roomy though, given the measurements. Yet another example of how numbers don't tell the whole story. All in all, still really happy with it.

Good to go …

Agreed with the others, nice fit, try another layer under it and it's nearly spot-on.

I’ve bought these breeches. Not a label you see too often. Might have to put on 20 pounds to wear them

Waiting on this Schott 613RD to arrive from Japan!

is that made of schott's regular steerhide? The leather looks quite different (in a good way)

Not too big- looks great!

It is indeed made of steerhide according to the official website but I agree with you it looks different in a good way. Maybe it looks like this in the photos not sure, it is a bit of a gamble but wanted to see it in person

The leather reminds me a lot more of Schott's naked cowhide (think it's the deepness of the black) rather than the steerhide. Do post a photo here when you receive it!

This just came in this week Johnson leathers custom indigo bison with black shark and red shark accents I had posted it in another group

Looks great. A fit I would be very happy with. Leather looks pretty beefy. All in all a great jacket!

Looks fine to me. Leather looks thick and probably better to have a little more room or you'll feel restricted.

Trying to decide if this is too big. It measures out massively for a 44” and the back feels a bit sloppy, especially at the shoulders.

It’s a shame because I love the color and it’s a beautiful and thick chunk of split hide.

 

[Jiantle]

Thanks for all the responses folks! The leather does feel the thickest out of all my jackets but wears comfortably because of how soft it is. Very luxurious feel.

The pictures don't show that it's also roomy at the lower back area. The jacket only has about a 2" drop from chest to hem. The sleeves are also a little roomy for my taste. I agree that the pictures look pretty good but I certainly wouldn't mind it fitting a little closer.

It's my first cross zip and I'm still experimenting with the style, and I got it for a good deal so I wouldn't mind passing it along to someone else here. I'll mull it over but may offer it for trade/sale in the classifieds in the future.

I appreciate the comments!

Decent fit for everyone else; not so good for your standards.
