    WTB Brown halfbelt size 38

    Hi all, Just want to see if anyone has a brown heavy weight HH 30's half belt or a 30's cossack (which seems to be a 30's half belt with a storm button at the top of the zipper). My measurements are p2p 18-19 (but willing to cinch), 18 shoulder (which needs to be pretty close), 24-25 sleeve, and...

    Hi, this is James. I contacted you on eBay about the Simmons Bilt. I have two accounts here. One under my name, james Duby that I’m trying not to use anymore. I don’t like to have my name showing up on the Internet if I can help it. That account has the thread where I learned, as I feared, my...

    I haven’t seen wranglers in decades. Free returns to Amazon to be on the safe side.

    I just bought a couple of different sizes of the wranglers. They are less expensive for sure. It’s like shopping in the eighties.

    Thoughts about fit?

    I didn’t post here hoping people would lie to me. So far I think it’s gone pretty well being that most don’t like the fit. I haven’t seen the jacket on anyone else which is how I can get a better idea of what I think for sure.

    That seems like a good policy and when I start dressing with a little more style I’m sure I’ll adopt it. I take it you’re one of the folks who don’t like the fit here?

    Thoughts about fit?

    That’s an interesting thought MrProper and I agree. I do like this jacket and the tea core is starting to show through in spots. I think it’s really going to be a looker. I’ll probably keep it and focus on dressing to meet its needs. How many of you have changed how you dress to meet the needs...

    This is totally aside but I just realized I’m using my name as my handle. I don’t suppose there’s any way to change that??

    You know something I do like about the short front, and this could be inexperience talking but it may be easier to sit in.

    Handymike can you pm me a list of your jackets as well? I’m not sure what pm means but hopefully it will become clear once it happens.

    Thanks for the pics Carlos840. They all look great. I think your style brings them together too. My frumpy pants make me look like I’m disarray which I think detracts from the jacket fit.

    Thoughts about fit?

    The jacket in the pics is a 38. What do you have? I admit I am a fan of the heavy weight leather. I need to be able to developer a relationship with the jacket. If it’s too easy I don’t like it.

    You wouldn’t happen to be about 5’8 175 pounds and want to part with a 1930s half belt in fqcxhh?

    Thoughts about fit?

    Huh this all starts to get pretty specific. My wife and I are realizing we’ve hit the age where youth can get us a pass on our appearance. I’m tired of looking frumpy. As you can see in the original pics for this thread my pants aren’t exactly bespoke.

    Thoughts about fit?

    It may be best not to look into that to hard. Do you do a fair amount of rotation?

    Thoughts about fit?

    I am in the US and recently ordered a B6 from Carrie. It seems it will be a while before it gets here. I would like to keep that the last full price piece I get. Can’t let this get to out of hand and I sort of enjoy the hunt. On the other hand it would be nice to have something come and totally...

    Thoughts about fit?

    On a similar note, my wife and I were talking about whether or not it’s okay to have shirt tails hanging out or if shirts should be tucked with a leather jacket. Is there a fit and style post I can follow pertaining to the do’s and don’ts of wearing a nice leather jacket?

    Thoughts about fit?

    Just to be clear because I’m thinking a zip jacket may be nice. If I want my buckle covered I should go with a thirties style? I also understand the fit is slimmer. I have the side straps pulled tight on this jacket which I don’t care for. Are the arm pits higher on the thirties style.
