    Getting People Into Movie Theatres

    Portland has many theaters that offer food, beer and regular concessions screening everything from the latest Hollywood blockbuster to Spaghetti Westerns. It's great fun actually. I sorta got hooked on Pizza and popcorn together...with beer.

    Planning a Diamond Dave Beck 333

    The d pocket over the loop is definitely part of the design of the 333. The early variant had the buckle slightly left of the zip but im gonna have Dave center it (like the later models) on the remake. The odd design elements, the button flap off the collar etc are a big part of my choice of...

    Planning a Diamond Dave Beck 333

    Indeed, I do fully custom cabinetry for my clients and while most of them give me some creative license the nitty gritty really comes down to what they envisioned in the first place so you have to be part clairvoyant part craftsman!

    Planning a Diamond Dave Beck 333

    Well now that ive tried the 333 on i am more excited than ever for the remake. I am thinking short and tight. Dave has been a pleasure to communicate and to work with throughout. I hope i dodnt cause anyone to think any less of him.

    Sorry I wasnt clear with Dave and therefore not correct in what I said here. I asked him if the back panel could be altered and he said no. I did not ask for a remake but I asked him to check out these outdoor photos and he can see it doesn't fit so we are going to go for a remake. Thanks for...

    Planning a Diamond Dave Beck 333

    I should have also said as a maker of things I always step up to make my customers happy. It has only happened a few times in 10 years but those things cost me WAY more than $900 to remedy. In one case I never got it right and ended up issuing an almost full refund losing me $5000 or so in...

    the Schott motos are set at a certain length for the entire size range. I tried one on and it was longer than this although the rest of the fit was better.

    Planning a Diamond Dave Beck 333

    As a guy who hand makes things for people for a living I would never show angry negativity towards someone who does the same. The workmanship on the jacket (stitching, seams, leather itself) is really beautiful it's just the fit that is off for me. In terms of guys making these Dave is a...

    Oh I see, the belt is totally cinched in so it may be pulling the leather on my right up a bit...

    Planning a Diamond Dave Beck 333

    What elements are incongruent? Ive owned a Schott moto or 3 when I was like 18 - 25 but was never concerned with proper fit so they were likely massive on me as well...

    Planning a Diamond Dave Beck 333

    Thank you Monitor. I have a couple of pics with a sweatshirt and it is better but undoubtedly larger than I would buy if i were trying on sizes. It is a common issue for me at 5'7" and 147lbs... I will probably keep it and wear it less than i would were it perfect

    You guys are right of course. I need to really think it through. Thank you all for the advice, I hadnt thought of selling it and am not sure what Id get to replace it. Without trying something on its a huge gamble for me (im sure you all as well)...

    Planning a Diamond Dave Beck 333

    Dave said he can't alter it. We never were specific about ALL the measurements. The length looks great and is actually shorter (thankfully) than I asked for. The shoulder a bit narrower (again thankfully) but it's the "girth" that doesn't work for me. The armholes are different than any...

    Planning a Diamond Dave Beck 333

    The width is definitely the issue. If I cinch the back while wearing it it looks perfect in the front. There is probably 1.5" too much width, maybe even a bit more... It does look better with a sweater but damn what a disappointment after the wait. I am going to take it to a local leather...
