Man, this leather trucker looks great, i kinda think about it, but i know for fact once I have such it would spell death to all my denim truckers as they wont get worn. Sigh.

I think it's a great addition to any wardrobe! It's just nice to have a leather trucker. I actually want a brown and blue leather trucker later on lol
I know what you mean, I have 5 denim truckers of different shades that have been sidelined from being worn lol the only time I'll wear them is when it gets warm here that leather jackets won't cut it.

Branded Garments NYPD. Just went through a bit of a wet/tumble dry experiment to make the sleeves a bit more reasonable length. I'm also trying to train the giant collar into a different shape. This is a 42 and feels a touch large in the shoulders and sleeve length. What do you guys think? Lots to like on this one including a massive Talon double zip and heavy leather. My wife hates this one...with a passion :(

Cool jacket. Really nice leather. A size or 2 too big.

Looks really nice! But I think a size 38 would fit you much better. Either that or adding 40 pounds of muscle ;)

I guess this shows that you have to take a seller's measurements with a grain of salt. It was stated as 22" pit to pit. I measured it today and it's actually 24" (stretched tight). My chest measures 41-41.5". Anyone in the UK or Europe (subject to red tape) want to work out a trade for something more suitable? I should put something in the classified.

that zipper, wow!!!

Give it a thorough soaking, then spin dry to get out most of the water, then blast on high heat. At first leave unzipped, then zip up once it's about 50% dry. It needs a little more shrinking to fit you better. When you think it's dry, let it go another 10 or 20 minutes.

I had my thin Levis buffalo in dryer for 5 hours and shrunk it a full size. I think that BG can handle it ;)

Definitely. I’ve been there too, with non-accurate p2p measurements. I think it’s fairly common that sellers measure only between the seams and not the full length.
