    The Deck Jacket thread.

    Weird. The website when accessed on the laptop still says that they cannot ship the 99-pound (sale) N-1 to the US, but they can ship the 335-pound Pike Brothers N-1. Is it because the first one is on sale? Anyhoo, I am glad I did not bother barnabus in vain proxying for me. I will post some pics...

    The Deck Jacket thread.

    Yeah, maybe I should have tried to order from my laptop. On the phone it definitely gave me an error.

    That's it. The world has officially ended. Run for the hills. There are counterfeit Bronsons around.

    Aero Roughout Jerky Horsehide Type III, Size 42: "The Roughneck Brawler"

    I like what Feliksas has done because I absolutely, totally lack patience for natural hide to develop its patina through daily use. It would drive me nuts on my own jacket. So any accelerated distressing that is well done, whether by navetsea, Feliksas, or Thedi, is fine in my book. Of course it...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    This color is super-duper rare with the early white label. Plenty of it with the later and inferior AMF black label. The leather on this one looks substantial. A must for any HD Sportster fan.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Very cool. Hourglass cut like HD Sportster but with two pockets and top wrist zippers (a huge plus). Wow.

    Looking for a proxy in the UK; they don't seem to ship to the US...:( Hoping a UK-based Lounger can proxy one of these for me.

    Seeking Advice: Reshaping a Jacket

    That is a tough one. It is so much easier to stretch a jacket (when wet), than to shrink it. On top of that, your jacket has stretched and shrank dimensionally (stretched equatorially and shrank axially). That is just brutal, because if you even try to shrink it back (not advisable) by wetting...

    vanson fit check

    That line of thinking would also exclude all the super-short biker jackets from the 50's. I have one that is 20.5" long; I am 5'9", and my crack is showing if I bend over, lol. I guess the bikers then didn't mind.

    vanson fit check

    You are right. This jacket is not too short. It is perfect for a rider, for whom it was designed. It is missing a couple of inches for casual wear.

    vanson fit check

    The back length from the base of the collar to the bottom of hem is 20.5-in? And you are 5'11"? I mean you wear what you want, but since you are asking for a fit check - it is at least 2" too short.

    vanson fit check

    Hem of the jacket should hit mid-buckle at least. This is too short.

    They love you at Aero!

    Aero Roughout Jerky Horsehide Type III, Size 42: "The Roughneck Brawler"

    Really easy alteration, just shorten the jacket all around by the width of the hem band, at least in my case. The jacket was 2" too long overall.

    Aero Roughout Jerky Horsehide Type III, Size 42: "The Roughneck Brawler"

    1. No, but close. Maybe 1/4-inch clearance between the bottom pocket edge and the new hem band upper edge. 2. Yes, but it does not bother me as much as an elongated Type III. The new distance between the bottom button and the one above it is 1/2 of the distance between the rest of them.

    Aero Roughout Jerky Horsehide Type III, Size 42: "The Roughneck Brawler"

    Type III should be short and boxy (like Marc has been saying forever). Some denim makers have been elongating and slimming down Type IIIs to accommodate handwarmer pockets. They look awful on every level. I had a couple of denim jackets like that (before I knew better), hated them, and had them...
