F16 Shearling?? Picked this up on eBay and it's super nice and obviously very warm. First I've heard of this model but it basically looks like a B3 to me.
I have to agree. As much as I love my Eastman and no hand warmers are historically accurate. I miss hand warmers about everytime I wear it. The map pocket is surprisingly usefull though.Well, B3 doesn't come with hand warmer pockets, so at least yours is more practical for day to day use than original pattern B3 (my opinion).
Schott 641HH café racer in 44". Bought new 4 years ago , one of my (many!) favourites.
Straight "off the rack" , no customising , all others are compared to this. PERFECT fit for riding

My Irvin does come with one pocket at the front for which I am very grateful alsoI have to agree. As much as I love my Eastman and no hand warmers are historically accurate. I miss hand warmers about everytime I wear it. The map pocket is surprisingly usefull though.
True,^^this is not the way to break in a jacket...
Did you fine creek the belt or was it done for you? I really like those fidelity jackets. They are nice!So, I actually bought this jacket with the intention of giving it to my wife. It showed up yesterday, and after opening it up I had to try it on...
This jacket feels brand new even though it’s older than me!

I bet you could rig it up with some snaps so it fastens at the sides to itself. That said I think it looks better sans the belt.No, it’s still there...just wrapped around the back for the photo. I might FC the thing though.
