    ... and the final reason for not altering the jacket is this: your wife probably would not care too much either way. Why? Because she is likely an entirely normal person, unlike all of us here...;)

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Stu managed to throw shade on punk rock in the description. How dare he? Vacant? WTF? @Aloysius PS - wife's out of the country, so it's been non-stop punk rock for me on Spotify. Back to Bee Gees once she's back. Ouch.

    US Caste System and Leather Jackets

    I have been in this hobby a few years and have never seen any embossed names you mention on the jackets discussed here. Maybe we are simply talking about different leather jackets, hence the struggle here to understand your point?

    Leather jacket shoulders sizing question.

    Weeeeelll, you need to check sleeve and back length, too - sometimes they are funky. But you are right - everything about the jacket follows from P2P, not the other way around. Sometimes, in vintage MC jackets shoulder width is very generous to provide range of motion. Some ppl do not like...

    Thanks. Yeah, the best fit I ever had in this hobby. With vintage it is a hit or miss most of the time; this was definitely a hit.

    Cal. The old favorite. Not really wearing it as it is 90F outside, just reminding myself how nice it is to belong to the lower caste. Heading to Poland in September, so it will hopefully get some wear.

    Not only you're in the lower caste by wearing a leather jacket, but you also may get punched in the face at a bar, unprovoked. Lose-lose.

    1998 Carhartt Detroit. These became crazy expensive since Interstellar. Those in the more rare Navy color go for $400 on ripoff-bay lol. So I got a cheap one in badly faded Tan, bleached it first and then dyed blue. I think I cracked the code on how to very uniformly dye with reactive dyes, so...
