What is it? Langlitz?

Yep. Sidewinder I believe.What is it? Langlitz?
A few hours in the morning, few hours at night. Boxer shorts and leather jackets. The cool kids are doing it.
No, i don’t have any prob with the vintage market. I just have super limited opportunities to wear leather jackets. It’s either to hot or too cold here. When the weather is like the 3rd bowel of porridge I’m workin for the man.Are the headaches associated with vintage jackets what keeps you away from that market? With your build, you’d have some awesome options.
good luck with this "natural" breaking in. I've got a 60's 618 I'm selling and I don't think it's fully broken in LOL. Definitely some arm creases, nice collar breaking in and tight grain here/there, but that top coat still alive and kicking LOL. I don't ride, but if I did, this would be my warm weather jacket for sure. Very light, drapey, pliable, but tough as nails. I think the newer ones have a slightly thicker cut, but still considered light/mid weight compared to my 118. But the 118 feels like lamb skin after just a handful of wears. Probably not the best for riding, but sure does feel nice.I hear you onehead. I have been "working" on my steer 618 since I got it. It is the only jacket I have been wearing since around April. Almost 90% of the wear time has been indoors. It has not even been wet yet. Hasn't seen any rain at all. I am going "all natural" on this one, no accelerated break in processes. I just put it on, wear it awhile, take it off. It has been a very slow go at taming this Schott so far.
I hope to have only 2 jackets in my stable, my trusty 618 and a custom JL motorcycle jacket. Although, Lewis Leathers is speaking to me quite a bit. If I "really had to get a third jacket," I think it would be a lightning 391 in rutland sheep or veg tanned cow.
looks real cool, but there are many creases of folding marks that don't correlate to wearing creasesSaw this post on Instagram. It’s a Schott. Makes me want to wear the hell out of mine to achieve this level of break-in.

Looks like this RRLDon Cheadle wears a great looking button-up cossack with a shirt collar (Thedi?) in No Sudden Move.

I tried the one jacket routine but it didn't work. I wake up as a different person every morning. So I gave up on it. I've got 10 jackets right now I absolutely plan on keeping and if I add 10 more to the count, that's fine.
That’s kind of a let down, but I believe you’re right. I had my hope that the costume designer was a little more creative in their sourcing. Cheadle’s jacket seems about 2 sizes too large which is also my experience when I try on RRL. I can never seem to get a good fit in those pricey diggs.
Mine was a size medium and had a ptp of 22". I was quite happy with the fit, which was almost perfect. I especially liked the short body length (just over 23"). It just felt way too flimsy for such an expensive jacket. That's why I sold it and invested the funds into a 'serous' jacket.That’s kind of a let down, but I believe you’re right.

I second this. RRL never was a money maker for Ralph Lauren. Production costs are high and volumes are relatively low (as compared to the Polo brandline for example). The company hasn't been doing too well the last couple of years so they had to close down stores (source) and cut costs. One way to cut costs is by investing less in your loss-making brandline (RRL).I’d heard pre-pandemic that since it wasn’t as profitable as the other lines, the parent company wasn’t giving it as much (a lot less) budget. They were only keeping it going as a pet project for Ralph. They were banking on the workwear trend being played out.
