    Confounded by sizing

    Oddly the Thedi is fairly comfortable, made all the more so by the two-way zipper - I can zip up from the bottom, which opens it at the waist and makes it fit the chest better. The D-pocket is just sorta tight from the waist to the chest when zipped up, but I must admit that I quite like how it...

    Confounded by sizing

    You're absolutely right about that, and no two bodies are the same. Again, I'm 5'11" tall and weigh 153lbs (17 shoulders, 19 P2P) - if you found nine other people my height and weight and lined us all up I think the jackets would fit almost all of us differently. A 5'11" tall swimmer will have...

    Personalizing a jacket - patches and pins

    Those are fantastic photos - those guys look so cool, as do their jackets. Love that. I'm collecting patches too, looking to decorate an old CR with them this summer. I'm in Canada but I'll likely send everything to Dena Hamilton at Leather Care Specialists in the US so she can open the lining...

    Confounded by sizing

    Afternoon Everyone, Hope you're all happy and enjoying a good weekend. So I've gotta say that I'm not too proud to admit that I'm absolutely confounded by sizing for leather jackets. Enclosed are photos of me wearing two of my jackets, a size Small Thedi CR in Italian horsehide (and I mention...

    Personalizing a jacket - patches and pins

    Jeo, those jackets are outstanding, I love 'em. Fantastic when people just own the look - it's their jacket and not one they're gonna sell, they wear it like that because it makes them happy. Fantastic, thank you for sharing. Chris

    Personalizing a jacket - patches and pins

    Hi Everyone, Hope Saturday's taking it easy on you all. I'd love everyone's thoughts on this look - I dig it when people personalize their jackets with patches, pins, illustrations, or other things that are meaningful to them or appeal to them on a design level. The guys in these photos are...

    Bootleggers 3rd Stone

    Good considerations, thank you. Looking at the Desolation Row website I need a size 40, or even a 42 to get the correct P2P, but then that puts the shoulders wider than I want. Sigh. It's a bit tricky.

    Bootleggers 3rd Stone

    Thank you Blackadder, you’re absolutely right, I just needed someone to say it. I think this style is really cool and I’ve found two preowned pieces at decent prices and both are 36 - I was trying to convince myself they’d fit. That somehow I could shoehorn myself into a jacket with a 46cm P2P...

    Bootleggers 3rd Stone

    Hi Everyone, Hope you're all well and looking forward to a terrific weekend - been a helluva week in Toronto, looking forward to two days off. I've got a question for the group concerning the Freewheelers Bootleggers 3rd Stone jacket(s). If anyone has thoughts on how they fit I'd love to hear...

    Semi-desperate Vanson C2 36

    Thank you TartuWolf, I appreciate the thought - I've actually been poking around a bit on Buyee.jp at Mercari and Yahoo Auctions. I prefer Mercari as I find the auctions a bit frustrating. I bid on a C2 via Yahoo Japan just the other day only to immediately be informed I'd been outbid - I went...

    Semi-desperate Vanson C2 36

    Hi Everyone, Hope you're all well and looking forward to a terrific weekend. I live in Toronto and the weather today is glorious, wow - hope you're all being treated to something equally as nice. As the heading says, I'm semi-desperate to purchase a Vanson C2 in size 36 - ideally a 1980s or...

I'm in the market and would love to hear from you. I'm partial to colourful leathers but I'm open to anything really...

    ISO: Vintage Vanson Double Rider sz 36

    Hi Everyone, Hope the week is off to a good start for you all. I'm on the hunt for a vintage Vanson Double Rider in sz 36, hoping someone here has a line on one. They're plentiful on yahoo Japan but thought if I could find it located domestically in North America it might be an easier...

    Hi Everyone, hope you're all happy and well and that the weekend took it easy on you all. Happy 4th of July to anyone in the States, and thank you for your service if you were in the military. I live in Canada and have found a jacket on a German auction site that I'd like to inquire about and...

    Thedi leathers racer HH jacket

    Thank you Older, the jacket is next level and you were absolutely lovely to deal with. I'd like it know to the forum that Older went out of his way to answer all of my many questions and ran around looking for the best shipping options. He also produced a video and additional photos of the...

    Lewis Leathers elbow patch

    That's really good to know, thank you. Those elbow patches have really thrown me, not gonna lie. I'm guessing they're stock but I just can't see Lewis Leathers putting out something that looks like that even way back then and even with the inside tag

    Lewis Leathers elbow patch

    Thank you Edward, that's good information, I'll start looking more at Wolf and TT Leathers as alternatives to Lewis. Good to know. Enjoy the evening. Chris

    Lewis Leathers elbow patch

    Thanks Edward, I've just purchased a 1970s vintage Wolf that's really lovely. Was TT Leathers a jacket manufacturer or were they just a retailer that put the TT tag in a piece someone else created?
