Movement in this one is great, but the flat, small patchpockets don't carry any thing. So i need to carry a bag to carry all my things around when wearing it.

That's great to hear, I remember Dubow contract has wide sleeve so it definitely helps, anyway looks great on you and I plan to get one for late spring and summer.Movement in this one is great, but the flat, small patchpockets don't carry any thing.

Extremely comfortable chest, shoulders and sleeves. Might add some inner pockets like the 352nd fighter group had modded to their jackets.

Brown Mulholland. If I only ever needed to own one brown jacket. . .
Ever since you've got the Frankenstein, for me it's difficult to compare other jackets with that one but I really like how this looks and fits you. Gotta search for something similar for myself.

Yeah, @Jin431, maybe you could do side-by-side fit pics of all your jackets...
I think both your jackets and fits are exemplary. I think it would be an interesting comparison, particularly since your JL "Jin Special" is already being reproduced...

The FW and FL in terms of fit is very similar and design wise there are similarities too. I hope you find the best pattern that works with you although you look great wearing cafe racers, maybe an Aero sheene will be something that may interest you or the highwayman/sheene hybrid looks cool as well.
You compete with Ton lol
Perfectly built for jackets. Everyone looks good
Thank you @MrProper thats very kind of you to say.
Ton is a master with made to order jackets. I'm sure I'm not the only one he has inspired over the years. As you do as well with my FL/5* orders lol

Thank you kindly, much appreciated @Will Zach
Sure no problem I can do that much. Sometime maybe this week or the next I will wear the same clothes for layering and try on my jackets.
I did see that JL jacket and that's pretty cool. I'm glad JL is getting a new customer too.

@HoosierDaddy thank you very much. I wanted to try the whole black outfit with a brown jacket so there it goes lol
It works. Some say black and brown should not mix. This shows it’s possible. There’s just so many shades of black and brown; it’s just about picking the right ones. With the right ones it looks great. Looking good.

I prefer brown boots with black jackets. Doesn’t look so serious.

I love to mix black with brown, I.e. brown jacket black shoes or vice versa. I often wear black jeans with brown boots, I think that the contrast can look great. As long as the outfit is not sloppy you don't look unaware of style you look intentional about it.
Side note: some people think navy and black mixed is not good I tend to disagree. For instance black shoes can look awesome with a navy suit.
If there is a better m/c jacket than the Vanson model E....never mind. Nothing beats the E. It’s the undisputed champion. It’s also a near bomb proof winter jacket and can be used just as well for snowmobiling, zombie evasion and lingerie model wrangling.
