    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I'm not familiar with what that's like as I'm new at this but if u can give me some comparative measurements it would be helpful thx.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks guys and I agree it's a bit of a tricky design. I guess if I'm a bit fuller in the middle and slightly shorter it'll fit better but being slim and somewhat athletic a half belt would likely suit me better. I might go go for slightly more than a inch at the sleeves and roughly an inch...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Hi Mandarin, I measured my dress shirt, its 45cm at the shoulders (straight across) and 64cm with the sleeves. I'm guessing that leather is much thicker and can bunch up a bit so, I might have to order shoulders around 18" with 26" sleeves. And of course a slimmer belly area lol! Thx

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I tried on a premium highwayman in a size 40. Please excuse the bad photography and dressing, I was just wearing a tee n jeans. I'm the last photo I pulled it down straight a bit and tucked in my tee. The fit seems ok except the sides balloon out a little and the 25" sleeve is a tad too...

    Would a black bootlegger be a crazy buy?

    That's so true lol. Both are very appealing jackets but for myself the look of the Klondike is more in line with what I prefer oops lol.

    Would a black bootlegger be a crazy buy?

    Yes the gastapo wore longer trench jackets that were issued to higher ranking officers so the look caught on. It doesn't help that Hugo Boss made the uniforms for the SS and the look became associated with all things nazi. It's sad but some of these designs are really awesome but I won't touch...

    Would a black bootlegger be a crazy buy?

    I didn't want to encourage the gustapo look or anything nazi related I merely said that was the first ting that came it mind so I used what look similar which was a double breasted jacket as I was not sure what the reaction guys here would have about anything related to that dark period. Having...

    Would a black bootlegger be a crazy buy?

    I found some photos of a really interesting bootlegger https://www.thurston-bros.com/products/aero-premier-bootlegger-sz-40-tweed-wool-and-vicenza-horsehide Like what Carlos840 said, the bootlegger is more aviation than biker like this. Both the Highwayman and the bootlegger are great...

    Freewheelers Switchyard coat

    Pictures of black Aero Highwayman?

    With this damn bug situation jobs are all unsecured so I'm envious of all of u who have such great jackets. I'm holding off buying any jacket until things stabilise a bit more. So many companies have gone bust or retrenching staff :(

    HoosierDaddy, I knew this would show up and a teamster is a great jacket although, I'm more partial to a maxwell

    Pictures of black Aero Highwayman?

    It's awesome looking but aero won't be making more of those anymore. It's most unfortunate so if I wanted something similar I'll have to bug Simmons or Greg Field.

    Pictures of black Aero Highwayman?

    Hi HeyZeusPenguin, My bad as I got u confused with another poster. The pioneer is a really cool looking jacket in fact the moment I saw it i was reminded of the jacket Leo wore in inception sans the chest zip pockets. I'm still searching for my everlasting jacket too but I'm more inclined...

    Pictures of black Aero Highwayman?

    HeyZeusPenguin, I'm curious how u came to the choice of a Highwayman cos you had initially preferred a trucker jacket? I'm your earlier posts, you mentioned this is going to ge your first jacket and your budget is in the $350+ you might want to consider the advice given here...

    Help with first leatherjacket!

    Hi Schmid, Perhaps you can search on the classifieds or look in ebay but if you can state the size your looking for, there might be other jackets worth considering too. I remembered that Greg or Honeyman1935 had a Jean jacket for sale too. It's similar to a trucker jacket. Cheers, Mawashi

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I've been to Cikarang, Jakarta, Bali and a couple of other states but I am one of the weird Asians in that I was born in a hot country but I love the cold. Even during a tech dive I was only in a 3mm wetsuit and a 1.5mm vest w hood. It was 13 degree at 60m and I loved it lol. On land 13...

    Leather jackets that look best in black?

    Personally I would focus more on the colour I would wear than what looks better on a jacket. As I'm slim the only black jackets that would suit me are cafe racers or styles that are less boxy. If I wore a longer and boxyer style, brown would suit me better.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I don't get how u can wear that in Indonesia. When I was there on a few business trips it was so hot and humid, I was sweating buckets in simple office wear lol. The only jacket I wore in Indonesia was my diving vest.
