I ordered with two chest pockets only, as I quite like a clean look with a Café Racer. Not entirely sure if that was the right choice with this particular iteration, as indeed is now VERY reduced.
I just think it's much better with the two breast pockets. I should have taken mine too. The jacket falls much better with the thinner leather. I also ordered my new Aero with only two breast pockets.
Sleeve-zipper configuration is modified in that the zipper is elongated and has a little metal pin for show at the upper end (“The Manhattan” style). I am undecided what to think about that.
Not mine. For my taste it is something that has no recognizable function and somehow ... well I don't like it. Fortunately, however, taste is different.
Predominant issue is length. I specified the back at 25,5” as I didn’t want the jacket to run past my belt-line, but one inch more would have suited the silhouette better, IMO. It´s not that I can´t make it work as it is, the jacket would simply be more versatile with some additional body. Anyway, this is TFL not Tinder, so I am not going to lose any sleep over one inch.
It looks good in the picture. And since the jacket is long enough in the front, I think that's a good thing.
I am really happy with the main-zipper. I went for a No. 8, as I am quite done with having to fiddle with tiny (a.k.a. “period correct”) zippers on what essentially are functional items. I believe it looks good too.
Very beautiful. I especially like the puller very much
Top jacket :thumbs up:
edit: But I just see you have the same tension above the pockets as I with my FL jacket
