    leather jackets with a still-reasonable used market?

    My vote goes to Rugged West as well, especially if you're UK based.

    New (to me) Jacket Day: Brown Aero CXSH J100

    Super lucky find, fits you very well! And no way I'd agree that you need -0.5" off the sleeves, especially considering they are zip sleeves. Wear in good health!

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    @Oystermuppet Another good option is surfing JP auctions/sales ads for a used Vanson. I got a few amazing ones from there for 200-250USD. My model E has 65cm+ long sleeves as it is meant to be used on a bike. If you'd find something like that it might work very well for you. Be very careful...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    @Oystermuppet Tall and slim is a rough ask for OTR jackets. Bordering on made-to-measure (or at least customized body and sleeve length) being mandatory. The chances of getting your first jacket perfect are pretty slim, whatever route you go. Going with makers that know what they are doing and...

    leather jackets with a still-reasonable used market?

    My LW Ryder from JP is made out of thin and rather stretchy FQHH. The top coat is very bland, but you can see a lot of nice grain throughout the jacket. Otherwise construction seems pretty great. Can only really wear it layered as it's very roomy for a 34, especially in the arms and waist.

    FS: 36 Aero Leather Type 3 Vicenza Horsehide

    Jacket length is very subjective. Some like them shorter, some like them longer. Personally I like them covering my belt but not my front pockets when wearing my typical rise denim. Truckers are suppose to be shorter historically / by design. In your case it looks just right from that one...

    Iron Heart brown horsehide riders jacket (ihj-129) fit check

    You definitely made the right choice going for the 40. The fit looks fantastic, especially from the back!

    Schott shinki fit

    You have quite a lot of shrinking to do in all directions (especially length) to make this work. SHRINK THE SHINK!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Today was a historic day in Tartu. They masterfully took down an iconic chimney and a large part of the local population came to see it. I went to see it as well, wearing my Vanson E. Here's a nice short video of it: It was incredible to see it in person. I wore the Aero Hooch Hauler the rest...

    @RDS I only use Vinted if the buyer/seller agrees to deal outside of Vinted :)

    Wise words to live by (jacket related)

    Take time to understand what measurement ranges work best for you and don't ignore one important measurement that does not get mentioned at all - chest width (as opposed to pit to pit). Big difference between two jackets with the same pit to pit but 1" difference in chest width. Measurements...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    My premium goat was thick enough to form rolls, which shortens the sleeves a bit. Making the shoulders narrower also makes the sleeves shorter.

    Leather jacket sizing, too big or small?

    Also asking for an opinion on fit and providing only one unzipped front photo from one angle is as low effort as it gets.
