This is such a great jacket. Perfect fit also. I think this is one of your best jackets, if not the best.

Test fit shots of @oneterrifichog's J-24 i received yesterday. (Thank you.)
Really a great jacket, i actually think it is the nicest of all my LW jackets!
The leather is the OG recipe before Stuart changed to the new and improved "easy break in" recipe.
It is super tough, much more dense than any of my more recent ones, the top coat feels even harder than the current stuff.
Fit wise i am pretty happy, a size 42L (this is a 44) would definitely fit me better, especially in the sleeves but i think this one is definitely wearable as it is.
Considering how much a custom made version would cost i don't think i could have done much better for the money.

Outdoor shots are much harder than indoor shots, i need to find a better spot...

Edit: Pics of my custom 42L to compare:

Excellent and perfect, really! Glad you got that one and yeah, it was a steal, all things considered. Looks so cool with the bling... I'd go crazy and add some more.

I always thought you needed a J24, so happy to see you in one! I think the fit is good overall

While the fit is larger, there is something really cool and badass about it being slightly big on you. Fitted would give a different vibe. Plus those spots make this an amazing piece! Do you have the fuzzy collar too? Wear it well (and tame that beast!).

Carlos set such an impossibly high standard for fit with his collection, that all I can say is that the fit is good, and the jacket is outstanding. If you go to LW website that is the jacket that is Stu's opus magnum.

Thanks.
It's funny, when i tried your J-24 during the first meet up (2017?) i instantly fell in love with the LW vibe, but in my mind the J-24 was far too "out there" and i would never have seen myself wearing one.
Nowadays i would wear this jacket anywhere without even thinking about it!
I don't think the crystals are that glimmery in real life wear, and i find the studwork quite subtle in a way.
I could actually deal with more studs than the J-24 has...

I do have the fuzzy collar, but it is a bit thin compared to my other LW collars.
I could use the super thick curly collar from my J-23 but not all the snaps aligne with each other.
Honestly, that beast is already pretty tame, i can tell it came from the old "forever new" leather LW used to use, it must have taken quite a bit of time/wear to get it to where it is now.

Got this distressed number from a thrift shop to empathize with others with collapsing "v backs"

A prolapsed V is no laughing matter!

I like the front pocket configuration on that!

I think the 44 looks even better than the 42L.

Alright TFL, I have no shame, I love laughing at myself. This is one of my favorite most ridiculous photos! Carlos your beard is fantastic also. Which made me remember this photo. A couple of years ago at my best friends wedding. Hey it’s a wedding you have a few drinks and you get silly ideas. In honor of Carlos’s beard may I present to you all: that time I had a few drinks at a wedding and “magically” grew some hair on my bald head.

At the time, you simply weren't ready for it, it's a jacket that grows on you. The reason why I went directly for the J24 is simply because I had been looking at it on the LW website for a year.

At first I didn't consider buying it, but I kept coming back to look at it until I knew I had to have one... And now I have 2 lol

Agreed! We need more awareness around this
