Great thread idea!
Here's something I've always wondered: Why do some moto jackets (like vintage Cals) have side cinches AND belt loops?
Isn't that overkill and redundant? (I don't ride so I'm not sure if it's actually functional, but it does look odd to me).
I have both the Gardener (round toe) and the Craftsman (chiseled square toe) models and find the round toe more versatile, the square is a bit too dressy IMO. I’ll be getting the gardener in black kip at some stage too.
RM Williams Gardener Full Welt Vesta Italian leather. A special edition or seasonal model, not available at the moment, but the current line up of RM’s it’s pretty good in variety. Head to its website.
You can’t go wrong with classic RM Williams, great quality, tradition and lots of styles. Plus they will last a lifetime if treated properly.
I just bought some Gardener Chelsea boot in Vesta leather and I’m loving them, perfect balance between work and dress style (pics to come soon).
Cheers guys, I’ll put it back in here if it doesn’t fit in case you guys are interested, it does look pretty nice and this style was missing in my collection.
By the way, @dinomartino1 is a top bloke, nice to chat to a fellow TFL members on the phone, this really is a great community.
Happy...
In my personal experience with CXL, it is better a little more room than too tight, as too tight can be an absolute pain to break in.
Also, the saying that the first day you get your leather jacket it’s the worst it will look is never more true than a FQCXLHH jacket.
You’re in for a treat.
IMHO, that jacket fits perfect as it is in my books, roomy enough to be comfortable but not too much to look bulky. You couldn’t have done better, it looks amazing.
