Thank you! I also think it looks pretty good, just feels weird. The combination of thinner, softer and rather stretchy leather and the roomier fit (mostly sleeves and lower torso) is unusual. And the leather color/finish is not something I would go for normally. But like I said, it might all...
Lightweight horsehide leather, don't event notice it when it's on. Rather spongy with a lot of give. Epic nylon lining. Pristine lining and zippers condition. Leather full of character, grain and some striations. Pigment dyed for sure. Super mobility, rather room in both body and sleeves, but...
I'm very sorry to highjack this thread and my wife the center of attention, but here are a few shots with her waring other denim. My high waist pair, her higher waist pair that is too small, one of her favorite skirts.
@Togs
Leilah said it looks fantastic ("I wouldn't change a single thing") but also agrees that tapering in the waist (not the bottom hem) could potentially make it even better in terms of fit.
My wife is easily pleased and has no strong opinion one way or the other (keep vs send back for a...
Thank you for all the feedback!
I understand that period correctness or adhering to the original is very important here on TFL and I totally go with that vibe.

Okay folks, take 1 of trying to get a proper leather jacket for my wife.
Type 1 from RW just dropped in. I think RW and Leilah did a great job with! Wife is super happy about it overall.
Adding some fit pics.
Please share your thoughts on the fit!
Current plan is to send back this stock jacket...

Light tan leather, rather rare I'd say.
Still not wearing leather jackets much, mostly my Iron Heart Type 1 in indigo cavnas, but the weather finally seems to be getting cooler and I can enjoy a leather jacket a least in the mornings and evenings.
Made this fun collage while seeing how my new pair of denim looks with my 3 jackets...
Perhaps not so surprisingly the sleeves got shorter by quite a bit, wish I had ordered at least 0.5" longer sleeves. Would not mind another 0.5" in the body either. But otherwise I'm very happy with the fit, even if mobility is not impressive.
Personally I think that 1mm goat would be on the "flimsy" side, but tanning methods influence stiffness and veg tan leather tends to be stiffer. Goat does have a lot going for it though, there are a lot fans on TFL.
Size 38 Field Leathers Aviator for ~650eu in Spain.
Fellow lounger I'd presume?
