    Himel Bros Imperial Fit

    @Cyber Lip thanks for the encouraging words lol. Honestly I knew the jacket was going to be a bit longer when I ordered it - because 1) Dave told me it would be, and 2) I was ok with having a slightly longer jacket because my Aero already has that short jacket look. Part of me is fine with the...

    How much were the fees and shipping?

    Himel Bros Imperial Fit

    Well I’ll definitely reach out to Dave again about it, but I don’t think he accepts returns. At most I might be able to convince him to make another one. I wonder if this pattern is just not right for me. Yours look good, but you’re taller and I’m guessing you have longer arms. I understand...

    Himel Bros Imperial Fit

    Yeah I too thought the body length being almost as long as the sleeves was odd. They most likely had to shorten the sleeves because they were too long to begin with, so I was wondering if the body needed to be short too - but since Dave said it was supposed to be a longer jacket, I thought maybe...

    Himel Bros Imperial Fit

    I am between 5’7” and 5’8”. The back length of the jacket is about 24.5 inches. Is the bunching in the back due to the length? My Aero does the same thing when zipped, and the back length on that one is 23 inches. Dave did say the Imperial is supposed to be longer though because it’s a sport...

    Himel Bros Imperial Fit

    Hi everyone. I sent the jacket back to Himel for adjustments, and now I have it back. When I sent it back, I emailed them with a better description of how I wanted the fit to be, as well as pictures of my Aero for reference. I asked Dave what exactly they changed, and he said they made it...

    Himel Bros Imperial Fit

    Thanks for your help everyone. I’ve asked Himel for a remake and sent my jacket out, along with a better description of how I prefer the fit. Fingers crossed that it’ll come back fitting better.

    Himel Bros Imperial Fit

    I am slim, but unfortunately every OTF leather jacket I’ve tried has still been too big on me (even choosing the smallest size).

    Himel Bros Imperial Fit

    I wish I was tall lol. I’m slim, yes, but I’m between 5’7” and 5’8” so not tall, but not short either. The jacket is supposed to be a size 34 (which is my size), but they made to accommodate wearing a sweater underneath, so it’s like a 35 ish. I do think they underestimated how slim my frame is...

    Himel Bros Imperial Fit

    Part of me does want to just keep it the way it is to layer under, but even with a thick hoody under, there’s still plenty of room to spare, so I can definitely have Himel fix it. Do you have fit pictures of your jacket?

    Himel Bros Imperial Fit

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone. The spraying water on the sleeves idea does sound interesting, but I wouldn’t mind letting them crease naturally over time. I’ve considered having them shorten the hem and redo the body as well, but I wasn’t sure if 1) it was even possible, and 2) I can’t...

    Himel Bros Imperial Fit

    Thanks for your input. I initially thought the sleeves were a little long too, but I emailed Himel about it and they said that the sleeves will naturally shorten about an inch due to tunneling/creasing. They did say that they can shorten the sleeves if I still wanted to, but cautioned that...

    Himel Bros Imperial Fit

    Hi everyone, Just wanted to get your opinion on the fit of this Imperial. It’s a size 34. I don’t want to give too much of my own thoughts on it right now as I want unbiased opinions, so I’ll just post some pictures. Thank you.

    The Real McCoy’s 30S Nelson Fit

    Yeah, unfortunately. I browsed around on McFly and Mirror Ball, but they don’t have anything in my size. I emailed them just for the hell of it to see if they do, but it’s a long shot. Plus, knowing what I know now about sizing, I’m a little hesitant to get something from Japan only for it to...

    The Real McCoy’s 30S Nelson Fit

    Thanks for the suggestion! However I already have an Aero, and right now I’m looking for a jacket made of Shinki. I’ve been doing some more research and I’m probably going to go with either Himel or Field Leathers.

    Does anyone know if the Rainbow Country Hercules a slim fit?

    Thanks everyone. You guys are right. I’ve initiated a return request with RM.

    Thank you! Damn I’m actually interested in that. I just wish I could read Japanese.

    The Real McCoy’s 30S Nelson Fit

    Yup, my Aero is size 34. I figured I’d get a a slighter bigger jacket in the Nelson for if I gain weight in the future, but it’s bigger than I thought.
