US Authentic A-2. This one's genuinely two sizes too big. Will either have it altered or flip it.

Sleeve feels softer, the rest still cardboard like.
If you cook it i believe it might shrink, mine was not even dipped, i just spray it and use my hand to pat around under the sleeve and fold the lapel, the lining wasnt even wet. It didnt shrink at all. But it was hard from the start, i could not fold the lapel when it came. The sleeve is always been shortish my own choice but very tapered after my elbow if i really let my shoulder loose and the cuff is not zipped, it might look even shorter. With all the creases.I know what it's like. When I cooked my first Natal jacket, that's what it came out like. It was like cardboard. It, well, I'll avoid saying also shrunk but it did shrink. Your jacket looks a bit tighter today.
2.5kg in my size probably 34-36, lining is very simple poloshirt pique on the sleeve and front of the body, pants material for the back.Holy cow the sleeve is stuck at a 90 degree angle!!! What is the weight of that jacket?!?
Sure love those. Hoping my JL center zip chp turns out nice
I’ve abandoned all common sense/ logic on this jacket. I’m sending it to Dena tomorrow to narrow the sleeves. I don’t know... Maybe it’s covid brain. Scratched up hide, meh construction. There’s something about it though. Must be the weight. My spectrum is showing. Bon voyage turd.

Thanks man. I think so too. It’s made by TRD. “The Real Deal”. It’s a laughable name but frankly...it’s accurate. Monster weight, very much a true M/C jacket. I’ve had a fair number of heavyweights over the years, LW, Cal, Vanson, Natal and Aero. TRD is heavier than all of them. It feels like a heavy lump of clay. No other way to describe it.I think it looks great. What is it?
Vanson vest. Too hot for a jacket, any jacket.

Nick, that's the best fitting one you got so far. Hound steals the show, tho. Sorry.
It's too hot for this, too. I tried wearing my LW vest yesterday. Exact same effect as when wearing a backpack. There go all my dreams of finding a way to wear leather during summer.
