    Is this the TFL effect that I keep hearing about? Guess I'm stickin around for the long-haul :)

    vanson fit check

    You're taking the feedback too hard. Nobody is trying to "hate" on you - people on here tend to be very supportive and respectful of others. You asked for a fit check, so just be open to some constructive criticism. Everything looks good, the jacket is just a bit short for my preference. I...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Interesting you find it stretchy/spongy. I have a 2.5oz Ryder which I figured was about as light as it gets, but does not feel that way at all. You're probably overthinking all this, it's just meant to be an easy wearing jacket and as an added bonus, it fits well. Enjoy!

    Thank you both! @Buick, definitely check them out. From the little I know about jackets, they're my favorite.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Nice way to start off the 90°F weekend with a LW J23. Already broken in - so very comfortable and great range of motion. Nice shaggy collar to go with it too.

    Size question

    Looks like it fits well. And yeah, the measurements are a better gauge than tag size in general. One mfg's 42 might be another mfg's 38.

    Size question

    39" chest with your 42 highwayman would give you about 6" chest ease, which could probably work but just a tad into the baggier side. The Canadian sports jacket will be way too big for you. Nearly 1 foot of chest ease. It could be a mistake on the website or something, maybe you could email and...

    Nice. It looks fantastic. There’s actually a prototype on his Sales page for a little cheaper.

    US Caste System and Leather Jackets

    I’m not a fan of embossed text/patches on jackets - feel like it takes away from the jacket and could make it look tacky. But now, people that have marauder, highwayman, etc… embossed on their jackets might as well call themselves pencil dick rapists? Kind of a stretch. Little by little, this...

    US Caste System and Leather Jackets

    I think we can simplify this conversation without having to drag in Thomas Payne: Your associate judges someone's class/social status based on what the individual wears. You never knew that was a thing. So you want to know if we've ever noticed anything similar? To answer your question, yes...

    US Caste System and Leather Jackets

    Considering you seem to know him in a professional capacity, his remark to you seems to be anything but. Anyway I don’t think the message is that deep honestly. People tend to make assumptions about someone else’s background, socio-economic standing, education level, etc… just based on their...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I agree, the Trojan just has more panache. Haha, may consider it - hope people won't take the metaphor further...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Not mine, but probably someone from here got another gem from Stu/LW - Star Glove. Clearly related to the Trojan Night Rider, but has enough design elements to set it apart.

    Leather jacket shoulders sizing question.

    I think everyone would agree that p2p should be the first number you look at - but keep in mind, it can be a range depending on the style of the jacket. I'd rather a cafe racer fit slimmer than a boxier design like a 50's Highwayman. You don't have to go too crazy with sticking to an absolute #...

    Thanks, and yes I was just busting your chops on the lanky part lol

    I’m 6’1”. Don’t have the makings of a varsity athlete, but wouldn’t call myself lanky either. J100 fits fine imo
