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

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    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.

    Fixing asymmetrical collar on Real McCoy's leather jacket

    Only other real quibble is how much to worry about the uneven grain near the lower left pocket as seen in the first couple pics but I don't think it's all that noticeable when wearing it and that's just how it goes with leather....

    Fixing asymmetrical collar on Real McCoy's leather jacket

    Thanks everyone. Clipped it dry (with a thick sock in between for protection) for just a few hours and already saw it was working, will have to decide exactly how I want it to look and clip for overnight. Here are some fit pics of the jacket. Really digging this thing but it's my first...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    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...

    Fixing asymmetrical collar on Real McCoy's leather jacket

    Updated pics with measurements. The one photo with the big mismatch is just how they naturally sit but as you can see, the actual length when measured is nearly the same (perhaps a slight difference but nothing like the initial image indicates). As long as I can get it to look more or less the...

    Y2 Leather 70's Style Jacket 42 (US 40)

    Damn, wish this were bigger because it kicks ass.

    Fixing asymmetrical collar on Real McCoy's leather jacket

    What I figured, thanks. Given the breadth of your leather jacket experience have you had to deal with this much? Or have you found times with something like the collar itself being slightly uneven? Frankly I can still barely tell if there truly is a length difference between the two (if there...

    Fixing asymmetrical collar on Real McCoy's leather jacket

    This looks fantastic! Glad to see a similar RMC style turn out more or less exactly how I want mine to look! Did you just soak it in warm water (or more of a spritz?) then clip the bits in the front to keep them wide and then hang? Also wondering if it will effect the leather much once it...

    Fixing asymmetrical collar on Real McCoy's leather jacket

    This is very helpful, thanks! Do you get the leather wet at all or just go dry?

    Fixing asymmetrical collar on Real McCoy's leather jacket

    I think the exact same thing is happening here as is with my jacket, just either side of the collar naturally folding a certain way as to appear uneven rather than the actual length of the collar/leather. Mine *might* have a slight difference per the photos with a ruler, but I think it just...

    Fixing asymmetrical collar on Real McCoy's leather jacket

    Ahhh that wider spread on the vanson looks great! Will have to give this a try. Do you just put the clips on or do you soak/add conditioner at all first?

    Fixing asymmetrical collar on Real McCoy's leather jacket

    Unfortunately it's the last size of a run they won't be restocking anytime soon (if ever) and it's kind of an ideal jacket for me in terms of checking off all the boxes and fits well. So even if the collars are ever slightly off (as per the photos as I just added) I think the stark difference...

    Fixing asymmetrical collar on Real McCoy's leather jacket

    Thanks all. These pictures might give a better idea. It's tricky to get a super precise measurement without someone else here to help me hold the collar taut but the actual lengths are very close. There may be a slight difference but it also might be more with how to do with the way the collar...

    Fixing asymmetrical collar on Real McCoy's leather jacket

    Hello hello. I am the new owner of a beautiful Real McCoy's single breasted jacket from their collaboration with The Armoury. I love this jacket, I think it fits perfectly, it's the exact mix of casual but still interesting and versatile. It has a great weight, interior pockets, etc. But...

    Price? Or just taking offers. Thanks!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    How much have you noticed this stretch in the body over time? Pulled the trigger on this, torn between L and XL. Really just a matter of what I want to wear under it (or not), the XL sleeves are a bit long and I think that would bother me more than the tightness I feel with it buttoned up on the L.

    Comparing the leather of two of the same model jacket?

    I am buying a leather jacket, made of a beautiful cowhide roughout leather from Japan, and at the moment have two of the same model to see which fits better as there are slight variations from piece to piece given the handcrafted nature of the item. I'm just curious, given the variability of...
