    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Half a week far away from the office. Helped the break-in of these beauties. Dare say, they fit well now.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Been a while since I broke out this beast. Ideal for a cool, drizzly, windy day in the countryside. Ship John/Langlitz.

    The Real McCoy’s A2 (Model 220 / MJ22001) sizing

    I don’t think, sizing down would have worked for you. Of course, RMC does the A2 in different patterns, but this one’s a bit blousy by design. Have a look at mine: It’s a 44 (my usual RMC size) and has a bit of extra room in shoulders and sleeves. However, I couldn‘t comfortably do a 42. That...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I will certainly have a look at Keystone. Thanks much! I recently bought a pair from BRIGHT SHOEMAKERS (mini review in this thread a few posts back), so I am good now.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Great boots, and happy that your search is over. I am the opposite. A lot of Engineers I tried were too narrow for me. John Lofgren is an example.

    The Real McCoy’s A2 (Model 220 / MJ22001) sizing

    Congrats! I don’t think you would have been happy with a 44. Others may disagree, but I think RMC makes one hell of a fine A-2.

    Fit Check: New to me Premier Half Belt

    Big congrats on the weight-loss! Truly happy for you that all is good again health wise (Healthy people have plenty of ambitions, sick people only one…). Very nice jacket you picked up here. Good fit too. Arguably you could do another (half) inch on sleeve length, but I wouldn’t worry, and...

    Very nice pickup. Perfect fit too! Doesn’t get much better for a daily driver!

    schott b3 break in question

    Jacket is a bit more than two years old. I wear it whenever it is cold enough to do so. I don’t drive in the jacket, but I never do. I would not worry about driving in terms of protecting the jacket. Sure, all kinds of abresion, pressure, exposure will ultimately affect the jacket, but its...

    schott b3 break in question

    Your welcome. Also check out the original Eastman website. They have an unparalleled offering of high-end flight jacket repros.

    schott b3 break in question

    Thank you. This is the ELMC B-3 Concho. Still avaliable according to their website (please note that Eastman and ELMC have different websites although they are the same maker). Eastman has pretty short sleeves by default, and AFAIK the ELMC variants don’t offer ‚long‘ sizes. Normally I would...

    schott b3 break in question

    Hm, I have an Eastman (ELMC) B-3 that fits pretty trim. Mobility is pretty good, though. Only restrictions I have is due to the very narrow cuffs. Could be specific pattern issues across different makers?

    PSA: Bad Actors in Classifieds

    Very, very interesting discussion. I don’t have a real opinion in terms of good/bad, but I do have some personal thoughts on the issue. 1. If a member asks for advice, I either give it or else ignore the request. The later usually because I feel, I have nothing to contribute. I certainly am...

    Iron Heart „Pale Rider“ Evolution Thread

    Please do! Will make me break out the PR again. Have worn it maybe 2, 3 times since October. I have come to find that in cooler, unstable weather I grab a proper jacket by default.

    Fit Check: Schott x 3Sixteen Perfecto 2020

    I see. That makes sense. Of course, the RMC J-24 ticks a lot of boxes in terms of how a classic X-Zip should fit. Can´t say anything bad about them other than that they are pretty expensive. Y2 has a very nice ‚double-rider‘ too, coming in all sorts of leather. Fit is very boxy and short. My...

    Fit Check: Schott x 3Sixteen Perfecto 2020

    Personally, I am over the moon with the 613SH. It’s not super short and reasonably slim-fitting but with the classic V-shaped Silhouette. Leather is tops too. Just make sure you size according to your hem. I am no expert as concerns the ‚real‘ classics (118, 613, 618) with their various...
