Vintage Leather Jackets

[jonesy86]

Thanks for the link. I never think of checking the bay in the UK. Wonder how much it would cost to ship.
Length would be fine at 62cm, maybe just a tad short, the P to P would be pretty trim at 53cm, I have a 104cm chest, 47cm. measured from pit in length would be about right. I guess it is supposed to fit trim. Price is certainly right.
What is the maximum number of jackets you are allowed to buy in one week? This wold are 4.

This would make 4.

I should read closer. It doesn't post to the States.

Here are some pics and the link to more. want to make sure folks can see them. Both LW truckers are in the album. Make a nice comparison. The 46 was like a coat compared with the 42.

Yep. Reading that part about not shipping to the US stopped me cold. But it sure was tempting for the first few minutes!

Welll there is no way I could ever squeeze into the

Well, there is now way I could ever squeeze into the 42. I am now officially a Lee fan though in the Lee v Levi debate.

My "squeezing in" pictures are in the album. I just don't think I would get this Horsehide today. My other jackets are each a bit different. This leather is what I would want. I see it in the vest, not in the other jackets.

I had Lee and Levi, but always preferred the Lee.

Damn, now I am worried about the 23" sleeves. It's such a beautiful jacket! Not even funny... This hurts. Looks so proportional but at the 21" back... I'm thinking. Calculating.

Hey Monitor
Saw this, thought it was what you were referencing. Tag size 44 would work in theory, but it isn't long enough for me. I have to have at least 26" arms, 25", preferably 26" back length. I'm long and thin. 6'1", 195 lb.
What is up with that 40" P to P on a tag size 44. That is odd, no?
Thanks for the thought!

That P2P is wrong, it can't be that. I've got one in 42 and p2p is 23". Every measurement is off as this would've made it a smaller jacket than the one I got.

Terry I just am curious how you took these even lit photos!

The stills are done with that white background. Just a big sheet of cardboard material I buy at an art supply store.

I put that down on my covered porch. Stay out of direct sunlight. Use the diffuse light of the day.
I do this in my up stairs room also when the light is correct.

Basically staying out of the direct sun light. there you have less shadow or none.

Using artificial light to get the no shadow effect is an Art. That requires a lot more effort, equipment, room etc.

I very seldom re-touch a picture. I go for the natural color of the jacket and take pictures until I get it right. Digital film cost nothing!

I use a camera not a Phone. I have been experimenting with my new smart phone, but that takes another set of skills. I don't use any special settings on my camera.

Thanks for asking. Terry

Cool, I look forward to hearing from you.

I really hope this gets sold soon. I'm still tempted even tho I know the sleeves would make it useless for me... But it's such a beautiful jacket.

Terry, thanks for the write up on the even-light jacket photos. Macro and macro-type photography is a deep intrest of mine. Learned some things about light box useage taking failure analysis photos of small metallic parts as part of my work. Your even-lit jacket photos with neutral/white background are a similar concept, on a larger scale. Very nice work sir.
