IMHO this shade of brown works best on this style of Single Riders jacket. Looks like a million bucks. Did you have to size up for this TFH jacket?

I love the weirdness. It’s so painfully 70’s. I have a real hankering for Ibex or lesser valued East West knock off and this one almost fills that void. But almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

To me, this is the perfect amount of 70s. It's just enough to make it unique and stand out among our mostly 30s-50s style jackets, but not so much that it looks too much like anything too 'disco'

First high-end leather jacket purchase going with a Real McCoy's single rider they made for The Armoury.

Sleeves could be a hair shorter (though they might shrink up a tad with wear) but I think it's the exact fit I'm looking for at the moment. Looks solid on its own but enough room for me to layer a sweater or flannel underneath when it gets chillier out.

Feel like I can't help but think about that 'second skin' notion and wonder if as it wears in/as I lose a few LBs as needed if it'll feel too large but I don't think so...I hold most of the weight in my stomach and it seems like erring on the larger side than smaller side for clothes has always been the better decision.

i think the sleeve length is fine. shoulder nice fit too. If anything, it might be a bit short? If you lose the lbs you mentioned, the length might work itself out

Rocking the "Black Bear" fur-lined Langlitz this morning. Just arrived last night. I'm blown away by the condition. I did some research on the name in the pocket, and it was made for a Harvard Botanist named Herman Roydon Sweet from Medford Mass. He had this made in 1963. First Langlitz I've seen with Conmar zips.

Lol, so cool. This is like the origin story for a new comic book super hero-- tonight you'll discover a hidden pocket, then some gamma ray pollen, next thing you know your ear hairs are growing like vines...

That is a shot worth framing, very nice.

Thanks! I think the shirt I’m wearing is strangely long (or rather, it’s a cheap shirt that’s falling apart and is longer than it should be right now) which makes it look shorter than it is.

It’s a fine looking jacket. No problem at all with the length imo, but that is subjective of course.

Make the bed next time!

How does that Thedi style look unzipped? Any chance of a pic of that?

Yikes. I turned 40 last year and my ear hairs are already growing like vines lol.....

LOL. This vest has a conceal carry holster pocket. Too bad where I live it can’t be used.

Vanson Model J in the historic Competition Weight of yesteryear. The photo does not do justice to just how dark of a black this hide is.

 

[ChrisDamned]

Today my old Schott with extra patina. Sorry, I forgot the model name and the pocket tag is no longer very usable. A nice mix between perfecto jacket and Highwayman jacket (belts cut because damaged)

After the Jacket got really wet in a thunderstorm last weekend, we went for a sunbath today. Really beautiful how the color of the FW Bodie has developed in no time.

Thank you, man! I took my usual size 42 on this, and it’s a perfect fit. I bought brown because I fell in love with the pattern when I bought the black one. It’s a perfect length to my preference, and also very versatile I think. You can wear it on anything or to anywhere without thinking too much.

To be transparent, this brown leather is great overall, but it’s not unique or special. It’s stiff and similar to RMC brown. FH black leather on the other hand is pure pleasure to wear. I have said this before and will say it again, FH black leather is probably my favorite leather in terms of how it wears and shows/ looks. Overall quality may not be on par with FW or rainbow, but it wears so well.

Fantastic jacket, I'm curious to see how the leather will develop over time.

Hopefully like the Langlitz:

Was hoping that the messy background would go unnoticed but alas....
