    BESOIN D'AIDE LOST WORLDS LEATHER POUR LA MOTO!

    Based on your pictures, I am very sure you dont need a size 44, size 42 will be fine, maybe even a size 40 if its sized more generously.

    Where to go for specific leather jacket?

    For 500 USD the only place to go is overseas. However I would advice you to save up 1k and have it done in the US at Johnson Leather SF. They rebuilt my fathers vintage Belstaff jacket, maintaining the original pattern while also sizing it down and they did a terrific job.

    New member, starting up a crazy JL 6oz leather jacket order

    Johnsons patterns are great, especially the older biker patterns, but even the new ones still are better than Aeros. The jacket will need ages to soften up due to the nature of Horweens stuffed waxes and the thickness of the hide, be prepared for a long process but pwrsonally, the break-in...

    The leather looks great. Appears to have nice hand and heft.

    New member, starting up a crazy JL 6oz leather jacket order

    At 6 oz I would settle for something pliable such as Johnson Leathers bison. I currently try to break in a 4 oz Horween Steerhide and wouldnt want it any thicker, I dont see 6 oz steer- or horsehide ever being comfortable to wear and actually mold to your body. Its going to be a cardboard box...

    Fit Check: Schott x 3Sixteen Perfecto 2020

    It fits you well and I love the worn in cxl horsehide. This is as good as it gets off the rack if this is the style you are looking for. Personally, I have grown to like my sporty jackets shorter in the back with some front drop. E.g. your jacket is just perfect in the front for my taste but...

    New Year Resolution about leather jackets hobby

    My plan for this spring is to break in the JL horween petrol steerhide jacket you passed on to me. It was too cold for leather the past months but temperatures are milder now, I already started wearing it at home, first creases on the sleeves are appearing.. but this may be the toughest to break...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Love the boots too!

    I ordered a tailored Aeroleather, and I am not happy with the fitting.

    The leather on that regular hwm is gorgeous! As for the OP issues: 1. It looks too tight, like you squeezed yourself into it with a hoodie under it thats all wrinkled up. I bet if we were to see front pictures zipped up, it would be full sausage look. Take pictures with shirt only. 2. The...

    What's going on with the FL site?

    I stopped checking in frequently due to website/pictures not loading properly. I dont mind the ads per se, but if they are what causes these loading issues, they have to go. Find a different way to cover costs to host this and if this is not about covering cost but generating revenue, then with...

    Do I have unusual measurements

    From where to where did he measure? From delt to delt, like the outside of your shoulders? Or joint to joint? It‘s a huge difference and you should know, else your tailor taken measurements are useless when it comes to translating them to a jacket size.

    Do I have unusual measurements

    How did the tailor measure the shoulders? Because that number sure is odd, atleast if measured the way I would measure.

    need advice on the FITTING ONLY please

    You can gain as much weight as you want and this jacket will still fit. There is no way this jacket is tight in the chest area, if it feels that way to you, the issue lies elsewhere, could be the weight of the jacket or the shearling bunching up due to all the excess material, I don‘t know...

    Schott 613 - fit check

    Looks alright! Crosszips are tricky, they always look too big when worn open and when you go for that movie star hugh jackman look, you will find out that you can no longer zip them up. If I were you, I would maybe try to put on a size smaller regardless of what I just said, but you most likely...

    Decent A2

    I own a Cockpit A-2, one of these more civilian versions with handwarmers hidden behind the patch pockets. I have worn it for a season or two and quite liked it. Very comfortable, leather is not very interesting but a workhorse that still looks like new except a few tiny nicks in the finish. I...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    And as it turns out, door bell rang five minutes ago, a second one just landed. Used JL Barneveld from a certain fellow Canadian Lounger. „So-thick-it-makes-you-giggle“- Horween navy blue steerhide. The color on this is literally impossible to catch on camera, it has shades of blue, green and...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Why would I triple-post, when instead, I can also post this second Johnson Leather jacket I received today? „So-thick-it-makes-you-giggle“- Horween navy blue steerhide on this Johnson Leather Barneveld. The color on this is literally impossible to catch on camera, it has shades of blue, green...
