Leather jackets that accentuate/flatter/enhance shoulder size

[dudewuttheheck]

Yeah I kind of excused it at the time but now I bring it up proactively because TFLers almost inevitably recommend ordering via Thurston. And honestly this Ridley is neither here nor there whereas the IR repro would fit in so well with my wardrobe, both menswear and workwear wise.

You deserve to find an original for that experience.

I am gonna vote against the Aero Indian Ranger here. I had two of these jackets. size 40 in black when my waistline was and inch smaller and now size 42 in white with bigger belly. Neither really worked for me. The black one may have the look but I am not walking around like that pose all day even if I wanted to, plus you gotta have super trim abs to pull it off, and even then the comfort is still shit.

If you insist sticking with Aero and wants the MrProper fit, Y shaped jackets are better. Cafe Racer or J106/Daytona, even with the forward collar they're still better than the Indian Ranger which not only has forward collar but also smaller collar width than CR and J106, not comfortable at all.

There are also a ton of other options out there now at the same price point.

The Y fit, so to say, gives a completely different effect. It works on Mr. Proper like it does because he is in fact v shaped.

On the rest of us it just looks slim-straight.

Not familiar with Mr. Proper, and google was unhelpful.

Could you kindly briefly school me on the differences in Schott 618 and 613S in horse leather in terms of taper?

Taper is very similar. There’s like half an inch additional taper on the 613S/SH pattern compared to the standard 613/618 but that’s not noticeable in wear and probably just comes down to the different shape of the kidney panel. The standard pattern would win out for range of movement but that’s by no means bad on the S/SH. Buying today I might choose the 618HH among those jackets.

You guys are funny... MrProper fit. LOL
I'll take it as a compliment and say thank you.
But actually my jackets just fit well and nothing else. Because I'm slim and long and the hem is always very tapered, it just looks that way.

Cals will do the trick. I am anything but broad-shouldered, and these things are pretty flattering. Short though, but not extremely so.

Absolutely awesome piece of gear! The fir is spot on IMHO including the length.

Looks like it is actaully a police jacket indicated by the tab on the left chest???
