I certainly also could live with a Large, but back length certainly profits from the „X“

That jacket is brilliant and looks like a great fit on you! The only thing that was stopping me from jumping on it myself was my incoming Thedi.

Such a cool jacket. I love the pointy collar. Great color too. Congrats.

collar is just great

how fate plays a big role on jacket circulation in these waters…

And yes, my wife commented on the short back, as expected!

Well done. Suits you to a "T". Spectacular fit and a unique, great jacket!

Every time I see you in this jacket I think:
It can't get better than that.

Enjoy!

Pretty much that is the typical weather in the LA area. Before moving here I always wondered why sometimes you see people in shorts and a tshirt and others in long pants and a jacket. It really depends on if you'll be in the sun and which microclimate you'll be in dictates your dress.

Coming from the midwest (basically middle America for the non-Americans) it isn't like that at all. If it is warm it is so hot and humid that being in the shade isn't terribly different than being in direct sunlight. So a humid 75 still means everyone is in shorts and a tshirt since the humidity makes the air damp and hot.

I live in higher elevation in somewhat narrow island of java, weather pattern here is very local, i can be totally drenched from heavy downpour and a street later that area is either totally dry or rain has passed there . Also quite normal for this hot burning sun radiation and fresh wind, but last few days this fresh wind turned chilly, like standing in front of a fridge in hot summer. This contrast is a little bit unpleasant since i feel hot on my skin and then side blown by the wind ice cold. I called some family members thinking maybe just me having cold symptoms, they said they feel it too.

My son, Jax, is looking for a fit check. Is the p2p a tad big?

He told his 4 yr old sister that he wanted to wear daddy’s jacket so she got it down from a chair and helped him get it on. Hooligans!

Thanks man! I know I aired concerns here but my overall response is “woah that’s cool!”

I did email Damon about the fit and the funny front panel just because I wouldn’t want to say something negative without also bringing it to him. Honestly the bigger-than-expected fit is more of a concern to me. I’m curious about his take on fixing it now vs giving it some wear first.

JL is going to make a new jacket. They’re going to compare the fitting to the current jacket and make it right.

I did talk more about the jacket (especially the fantastic leather) in the Johnson Leather thread for those who are interested.

Ha! I laughed out loud with this one when I scrolled down and realised it was reaching his tiny ankles! He needs another kid's shoulder's to sit on.

Reminds me of a gig I did once years ago with The Chap where we got people to dress up like they were Chaps. Lots of tiny kids interested.... I remember putting one of them, must have been about this age, in my RAF safari jacket/shirt. On me, with the sleeves rolled it has a big game hunter look. On this kid it looked like Bogie's trench coat.

Cross post from the JL thread and I didn't really wear it (quick fit pics in the morning before I went hiking) but feel like it's best to share their lovely work on this thread where there's more traffic. Lighting is not the best when I took the photos but I'll take better (or rather I'll atleast try to) photos when it's a little cooler.

JL's take on the French Cyclist/German flyer jacket. Leather is made from Seal(dark brown) Horween Vermont and has a detachable cream mouton collar with button securement.

I hope you can see the fine grains and striations in the close up. It's really lovely leather
