    Schott shinki fit

    Actually, Schott's back measurement includes the collar. That's why my size 42 613SH says it has a back length of 25 or 25.5 but when you measure from the bottom of the collar it's 24. Some interesting things to pull from this drawing. Look at the crease on the left and right of the man's body...

    Looking for a Jacket

    If you think Italian is a marker of quality, you are in for a world of hurt.

    Schott shinki fit

    True but remember the old catalogues mention that men of 6'0 or taller could get a Long version that adds 2-3 inches.

    Schott shinki fit

    I think it looks fantastic. Definitely not too big; there's some chest drape going on, which is a positive. A year or two ago I would have agreed that it's too short, but I don't think so anymore. A vintage jacket would have addressed this by having the zipper not go all the way to the hem...

    What’s a fair price for a good Cal jacket?

    Straight zip, beautiful leather, actually wearable size; this checks off a lot of boxes. The flip side is whether it's still worth it after VAT and postage.

    High Rise Jeans

    Bit ahistorical! The original high waisted suspender jeans were 8-10oz fabric, as a sort of over-layer for abrasion protection.

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

    Butter or Vaseline?

    Vanson Maverick

    Seam vs raglan are basically a completely different type of garment though. With raglan you have much more room although even then not infinite. Like I have a Sugar Cane shirt with a kimono type sleeve so I can wear it in two different sizes; the medium fits like a normal shirt with the...

    Vanson Maverick

    Raglan shoulders are a completely different method of construction. Going off what Stu and TFLers say, you could have shoulder seams at basically your neck and it would all be fine if the sleeves are long enough!

    Vanson Maverick

    I will fight this until the end. Shoulder length absolutely matters. If it's narrower than you, you can't wear the garment, no matter what people here or Stu say.

    Hillside USA Horsehide Samples

    I guess I'm glad you like it but I don't know that their prices are actually low enough to justify the compromise. Their price point, new and used, is pretty comparable to Vanson.

    Coat for a Corduroy or Tweed Sport Coat

    Lots of things will work, just obviously not a formal coat. Ulster coats, covert coats, polo coats, greatcoats, etc are good options.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    A lot of people seem to think (it's not their fault; it's something culture has forgotten) that a good fit means a completely flat smooth back, but it's generally the opposite. There needs to be extra space there even in fabric, let alone leather, for proper range of movement.

    Does anyone make a short jacket (B2 length or touch longer for example) leather outside sheepskin lined inside like an aero Shawl Collar Barnstormer?

    Aero would be a good port of call here because they can do a shearling lining option for many of the half belts and Highwayman. I think he means a rugged leather on the outside like steer, horse, goat.

    Iron Heart Nagoya

    IHUK selling items for markup + British VAT is one thing. Having a global monopoly such that even sales by stores in the U.S. are handled through them and incorporate that cost is another still. I don’t give Iron Heart Japan a pass for it to be clear. I don't see them as passive in giving...

    Iron Heart Nagoya

    This is the thing. Many of my friends are avid buyers and cite the customer service but if you are selling something for double its actual retail price, then you can afford to give all the service in the world. Like the flippers who sell Rolexes at double MSRP will have the thing overnighted to you.

    Iron Heart Nagoya

    It’s a really disgusting enterprise which doesn’t get the heat it deserves. Basically some reseller labelled itself “Iron Heart UK” and then strong armed Iron Heart into giving them a monopoly on all foreign sales, including from other foreign shops, so Giles and co get their margin no matter...
