Thanks man, much appreciated! I always admired brown cxl and happy to have finally gotten one. I think picking the right hardware finish is really important, like you mentioned it really completes the look. I used to always go for antique brass and I didn't like nickel especially on browns but now I changed my mind. It can really work and elevate the look of the jacket.
Thanks man, I really like how this fits. The only comment I can make is that I wish the cxl they used on the sleeves could be thicker, it stretched a bit after the jacket was completely breaked in.
*For those not in the know the range of motion on these JL's are phenomenal. Over the shoulder/over the head movement has no restriction at all even with a thick leather such as CXL.
Thanks man! That's very kind of you to say.
I would not even notice those fit details if not for members like yourself. I really appreciate you pointing it out. Now that I know that, I can see what you mean in how it looks snug but not too tight. I can only say maybe because I was fitted for this? I prefer trim jackets like yourself so I always tell them to keep it slim.
This is my fave collar out of all my jackets, members have asked about them in the past too which I think is cool.
That gray cowhide looks so cool, I especially like the detail on the upper back. Crazy that's already 4 years old and still looks stiff as a board
clearly make a big difference being measured in person, it clearly shows. yours is perfect. I give my neck around measurement, neck hole width to order form whenever I order, so much important to me haha maybe it's weird I can tolerate different sleeve length or hem length but wanting a tailored neck hole.
thanks, yeah the back panel on this jacket I wear is happily standing on its own, 4 layer of leather if including the upper back pocket thing and there is no real breaking in on that part by wearing, will stay forever new... unless we break in the jacket by make it into ball and sit on it or tumble it several time with tennis balls in a dryer etc.
