    Please look at my buco jacket size

    It looks good, but does look a bit tight in the back and the shoulders. I think the outcome depends on what you want from the jacket. If you want to be an Instagram star keep that size, if you want comfort and versatility size up.

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

    Well my brother just received it, will pick it up this week end. It shipped on thursday from NYC. Pays to have a Pro UPS account i guess. ( i sent a label to Stuart from my bro's pro account, he says that's why it goes so fast)

    Aero? Simmons Bilt? Looking for my "Forever Leather Jacket"

    I see a good 20 pages of quality American made classic jackets, what is your point?

    Aero? Simmons Bilt? Looking for my "Forever Leather Jacket"

    You said yourself you didn't know how to differentiate them... How many Schott jackets have you handled?

    Himel Bros Imperial Fit

    Shipping both ways from Belgium to Canada + import fees to be paid again. At least 250 Euros shipping, import fees would depend on the declared value but would be a bit more than 20%

    Aero? Simmons Bilt? Looking for my "Forever Leather Jacket"

    I never said anything about false claims, just saying you have a lot of opinions for someone who admits not knowing much on the subject. For example differentiating between "good" and "bad" Schotts can seem like jumping through hoops if you know nothing about Schott... It doesn't take much to...

    What do you layer under your leather jacket?

    I have this IH thing which is basically the same thing: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/jackets/ihj-79-blk.html IMO it only fits comfortably if your leather jacket is 1 size too big to start with. I can't fit it in my usual size 42 jackets, only in my winter size 44 jackets.

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

    It's in the mail, it has to cross the ocean and clear customs, i would say mid January probably.

    Himel Bros Imperial Fit

    Personally Himel left me unsatisfied... He admitted my jacket had construction issues but wanted me to pay for all shipping fees and taxes associated with a remake, so i kept my poorly made jacket.

    Himel Bros Imperial Fit

    Well when John Chapman designed that pattern it was not a long style: That jacket was 1 size too large for me, but you can see the proportions are completely different. IMO that Goodwear Imperial has "correct" vintage proportions, the Himel above looks too elongated to my eyes, the body is...

    Himel Bros Imperial Fit

    Liking a long jacket and elongating short jacket designs to make them long jackets are two different things. I have nothing against long jackets by design, i don't like the modern trend of elongating short designs, it kills the porportions.

    Himel Bros Imperial Fit

    To me the body is still too long, it should IMO not be as long as an untucked shirt, if it was shorter you wouldn't get the bunching in the middle of your back. The fact that you are wearing low rise jeans make that jacket even longer, the jacket should finish just below your belt, not halfway...

    Aero Dustbowl - CXL FQHH Brown - Fit / Impressions / Thoughts

    It looks too big to me. It looks somewhat ok from the front as you have pulled the side adjusters in fully, but from the back and side it looks huge.

    Thinking about Lost Worlds.. thoughts, experiences?

    I mean, he's not forcing you to buy it is he? If you don't like it don't buy it. Also, the belt has the fixer if you want it: It's interresting how LW bashing goes in phases, it felt like we had evolved past that recently and then boom, a fresh bashing session to celebrate the end of 2022...

    Thinking about Lost Worlds.. thoughts, experiences?

    I did ask him a while back and he told me he didn't include belts in the price cause most people don't wear one. It's a loose loose situation for him though... If the belt was included in the price people who don't wear a belt would complain that they had to pay for something they don't want...

    What do you layer under your leather jacket?

    Personally i believe in layering many thin wool layers. It's currently freezing where i live, and on a standard day i'll wear a merino T shirt and a cashmere Uniqlo jumper like below: I have that jumper in a bunch of colours, it is good value for money and warm, if i know i'll be hanging...

    Leather jacket fit check please

    To me it looks like an average leather jacket worn by the people who know nothing about leather jackets. It's too long, it's shapeless and featureless. If you have an Aero incoming return this jacket and wait, it will be worth it.
