View attachment 284808 Seriously in love with this jacket. I feel like I could be happy if this was my only leather jacket. All of these years I’ve felt nothing for cafe racers. Y’all have been posting pics of your cafe racers and I’ve been yawning. I bought this just to give the style an honest chance. I couldn’t imagine I would enjoy it this much.

when you zip, is the left bottom hem slightly longer than the right side? My jacket has this little problem and I just noticed in your photo the left side is hanging lower, but can't tell if that's just the angle.

On mine, it's like 1/3 to 1/2 inch longer on the left side. I've been trying to pull the other side down to stretch it out a little bit, but the leather keeps retracting back LOL. Like 60 year old leather won't give up.

I hadn’t even noticed that but I had a look again and you’re right. It’s more noticeable in the photo than IRL, mostly because I slightly lean to the left in the photo.

LOL, love the meme. Wondering if that's a design feature then for some odd reason. Or maybe how they all age over time. Who knows.

Yeah, I tug on mine to even it out. Works for about 20 minutes. Trying to permanently apply pressure some how to stretch it, but this thing is beast. Keeps snapping back. It's only noticeable when it's zipped up, so was curious.

Hey, maybe we could start a thread where we ask strangers on the street to pose with us. Could be great.
I’m willing to give that a try. In Chicago that could yield some entertaining results. I might take a crack at this tomorrow. Only thing is posting other people’s faces online. That could be a problem. I assume consent must be given.
