Fantastic pair of thick, grainy leather pants by Four Speed, the one-man shop that makes Iron Heart's IHJ-35. Is it cowhide? Is it horsehide? I don't know--the stamp on the inside is only legible enough to read the size.
I can't say enough about the grain. The photos don't do it justice. Did I...
Somehow, I’m not getting any notifications on these posts. Good thing @Monitor is handling the marketing!
This is a seriously nice jacket. The shiny horsehide, which breaks in quickly with terrific graining, the style, what with the wide collar and back yoke, and the appropriately chunky...
I picked this up used a while ago after admiring these from afar on others, but the fit doesn't quite work for me. My favorite feature of the jacket is the large collar, which snaps down to the lapel snaps' mates when the jacket is zipped all the way up (see photo of me modeling this below)...
I completely forgot that I can log in and check the status. I just saw that my order status is “Initial check - under query.” The notes have not been updated to reflect the final order sheet that I signed off on Oct. 1. I’m going to follow up on this immediately, because I assume this means my...
I’ve been laid low with COVID the past few days, so I haven’t posted my thanks to all who responded to my query. I really appreciate all of that info. @Canuck Panda, your measurements were especially helpful for sealing the deal for the Ridley for me. Much appreciated!
At the risk of resurrecting a zombie thread, I’m desperate to find out the difference between a J-106 and a Ridley. The context: I placed an order for a slim-fit J-106/Ridley a week ago, but I’m not sure whether that or a regular J-106 is what I want. The folks at Aero tell me that the J-106 is...
@Carrie @ Thurston Bros., could you speak upon the differences between the J-106 and the Ridley. I know the latter is a slim-fit pattern, but the J-106 is pretty slim-fitting, too, right? I'm curious where exactly the differences are. In the armhole openings? Chest-to-waist drop? Thanks in advance!
I picked up a special edition brown Y’2 HR-55. It looked beautiful, but I didn’t care for the fit. The shoulders and chest were a bit tight and the waist and hem were quite loose. It was a size 42, and I have a 42-inch chest and 36-inch waist FWIW. Also, the sleeves were fairly tube-shaped and...
I do like the KOTR back, especially that one from IG that you posted, and I've always admired that J-106/KOTR hybrid. I'm still waffling on whether to go black Badalassi/cream Vicenza or black/tobacco Badalassi. I suppose I'll have a couple of months to decide.
@Canuck Panda, I asked Holly about building a slim-fit KOTR. I'm afraid it's a no-go. So, two-tone J-106 it is. I think I'll go ahead and submit an order today and sort out the color scheme down the road.
