    G. Warren Shufelt wearing a cossack from 1934-35 That is apparently an "X-ray device"

    The measurements are as follows: 42" chest. 16" shoulder to shoulder. 25" shoulder to end of cuff and 24" in length from top of shoulder to bottom hem. Measurements seem small for a 44!

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    Yet another streetwear brand's take on a leather flight jacket... Why is "garbage bag" always the intended fit with these, I don't get it...

    Not sure it's so dedicated to raw denim community, I feel like that's more reserved to undyed veg tan leathers, like the Mister Freedom, Simmons Bilt or Iron Heart Four Speed Leathers ones. Because pretty much all leahter jackets will break in and drape differently from new, so I personally...

    The way it fits is very straight cut, but it's cut to be slim throughout. On my model it was the same width from armpit to bottom hem, but can be cinched in with the waist adjusters. It still gives the illusion of broad shoulder and modest v-shape from the back though, maybe due to the way...

    Steve Bedo alters a Perfecto

    Just watched this yesterday, he does good work. I actually prefer long zips though, like The Wild One Durable, so I don't think they would look too odd for me at least.

    Yes, very rare in size 44. It was the only Hercules in 44 that I have seen in almost a year of searching on the resale market, previously I saw an A-2 or similar with insignia on Yahoo Auctions, and I think an Indy jacket or similar? Other than that, doesn't turn up much. I did recent get...

    If only the Yahoo Auctions seller hadn't straight up lied about the sizing for my 2014-2015 Herc, I would have a nice one in the old fit, which may be slightly better for my weight. But unfortunately it was about 3 inches bigger than listed in shoulders, chest, and 3 inches shorter than listed...

    I'm disappointed this was the only image Barnstormer had for their tobacco brown preorder lol! Was a little too difficult for me to imagine it. I think the 2012-2013 pattern is quite different, at least in terms of sizing, they're about a size bigger compared to the current models.

    That one was my exact size, I wish I had the chance to purchase, but the bidding went above my budget. Was a really lovely jacket!

    I'd like to try one on in person, but probably not going to happen. My size, 44, seems to be ordered mostly on request with very few stores keeping stock, so I'll try see if I can get a hold of one when I visit, if not I'll just wait for another preorder of the tabacco brown Hercules. There is a...

    40s Hercules jacket (wool garbadine?) Similar to the one Terry just sold recently! No tagged size but seller says around medium. https://www.ebay.com/itm/185630187012?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=leEOeUg4TZW&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=XwryyoW3RcW&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    I actually really like that Freewheelers jacket, I didn't at first but it grew on me, even though it's not a repro like I usually prefer and more of a "fantasy piece". I think it fits quite well on this guy: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cizf0waPr2T/ Very different build from me though, and I...

    There is no tagged size though so that is an estimate by the seller. Price is currently 69,000 yen which is currently around ~$520 but it is an auction so I am sure it will end higher.

    One of the best grizzlies, 30's Laskinlamb in pretty good condition too EDIT: Just noticed the seller only has 5 feedback score and they're all for train tickets or something? May be better to just admire the photos from afar. Bid at your own risk...

    Probably an embarrassing question about jacket weight...

    Another thing I can think of is that if they use the whole hide, different parts of the animal have denser skin, fiber structure, etc., such as the butt area, and some are looser such as belly area. Could also explain why one jacket has much different properties, one with softer temper (maybe...
