What fan-fiction is this jacket based on?? There were only 2! Terminator movies shot... After Terminator 2: Judgement Day, producers and director James Cameron mutually agreed that it would be best to end the franchise on its peak rather than milking it out on the cost of quality. Best decision ever.

Yeah, it must be just the name of the jacket because it can't be named after a movie that doesn't exist. I too am really happy the Terminator movies ended with Judgement Day and that no other Terminator movie was ever released afterwards. Ever. I was dreading they would maybe attempt to do the remake but luckily that didn't happen. Neither with Terminator nor Robocop. Because they haven't remade Robocop. Thankfully.

That's a Schott 618, right? Looks great! Did you size up on this? There's a few at ebay rn and I consider picking one up but I'm not sure whether to go for a 40 (my true size) or size up.. apparently size 40 has 21" pit to pit which is veery tight

edit: is that the infamously heavy Schott HH jacket you occasionally mention?

Just picked up this 1980's vintage Willis & Geiger horsehide A-2 off the 'bay in mint condition for about a hundred bucks. Best fitting A-2 I've ever owned. Very comfy!
The knits, the bemberg rayon lining, the zipper, the leather, all are in as-new condition. The horsehide is a perfect mid-weight hide in a nice seal brown with similar striations in the leather grain that I've seen on Lost Worlds horsehide.

Thor,
Great looking jacket and perfect fit. I've often looked at W&G but worried about the fit. I'm 6'2", but it seems to me the W&G Talls are really too long, even for most tall people. Is yours a Reg or Tall and how tall are you?-I'd like to know for my own future purchase.

I'm 6'-1" 195lb. and have trouble finding regular sizes tall enough.

Nice fit! The leather does look like the LW.

lol no, the infamously heavy Schott HH is my CM1 Cafe Racer. I got a HH 618 in my own supposed size, which was a 42 and it was a bit on the large side (tho just in the belly area). The 40 was perfect, tho. But I know for a fact they've tweaked the sizing since so... I don't know. But you want a 613. Believe me. It's 11 times cooler than any other 618, 118, whatever. There's even a HH version, Legendary had it, but it's rare. Worth the hunt, tho!

As for my jacket... No clue. Not a single tag on it. :)

It’s been a month and a half wearing my Kensington everyday!

Perfect, Speed. Literally!

And lol yeah, I know about the shoes but I spend whole day on my feet... Actually wore engineers a few times but after five hours, they get a bit heavy. Worse yet, I'm afraid to get them damaged. Same with the jeans, shirts, everything. So I have to look like a slob. ;_;
