    Langlitz sizing Q

    Just ask them for the measurements of the jacket you're looking at, or give them your desired measurements and see what they have that's close.

    Harsh, but it's definitely true that Thedi are making much more stylish jackets these days.

    Stunning Aero Custom Bootlegger Wool-Horsehide Two Tone Jacket (Courduroy Lined) Men's 42

    Would be better to just get a new family and keep the jacket.

    Why did perfecto move from being a brand label to defining a jacket style

    I don't know why. But my guess is that the general public doesn't know the cross zip as a "Perfecto". They call them "Biker jackets" and can barely tell one from another. If you get them to look closely they may notice a D-pocket looks different from the more modern slanted chest pocket. They...

    Mushmans "Adventurer" Indiana Jones Jacket in Badalassi Prugna

    When you said it was purple, I was imagining Prince, the Joker, and Grimace from Ronald McDonaldland, but that's way prettier than I was expecting. More like Horween cordovan.

    Which Perfecto Is This ?

    I have one in my closet, it is an uncommon design for sure. Schott made them for like 2 years in the 1990s, according to what I was able to find out about it when I did my research. I saw someone else had a Golden Bear that looks exactly like it, so apparently there may be more...

    Red Wing Engineer 2268 steel toe boots on a motorcycle

    I personally feel better about my toes being protected by a rigid box around the toes than not when I'm on the bike. The steel toe doesn't shield your entire instep, though. I had a injury when I lowsided in a low speed turn and my foot was under the shift lever. My boot hooked under the lever...

    Seam down the middle in the back - poll!

    Right. Imagine an exaggerated example of this. Picture a canoe built from left and right halves joined at the bottom, creating a seam at the keel. The curve of this seam at the bow and stern results in the skin of the canoe not laying flat, and taking on a 3d shape.

    Seam down the middle in the back - poll!

    NO - generic Type III Trucker NO - cheap Chinese-made leather derivative biker clone jacket. To be fair, this jacket has so many other design and material issues that the center seam is but one problem, not the dealbreaker that ruins the jacket.

    Seam down the middle in the back - poll!

    I think you're right, that some people are not taking those things into consideration. I'm very definitely not one of those people, as evidenced by some of my YES choices above. I'm with you, my NO's (which I'll post when I find them, I don't generally keep pictures of ugly leather jackets...

    YES - Thedi MTC-12799 YES - Freewheelers Switchyard YES - Aero Board Racer/Seven YES - Vanson Model B

    Seam down the middle in the back - poll!

    There should be a yes/no thread for pictures of jackets where the center seam works and where it ruins the look of the jacket.
