    Help ordering longer jacket

    I absolutely love my Alexander Roadster, but there are times it's just too tight/short. It looks clean but I want to add a more comfortable jacket for daily wear. I'm thinking about a Wested Raiders jacket... Not sure what hide yet. Anyway the back length on my Roadster is 24.5" from top...

    Saddleback treat!

    This begs the next question.... what kind of cool things does the modern man need to pack in his briefcase, especially with heavy travel. Here's a start: - Macbook Air - iPad - Bose noise canceling headphones - Cables - Business cards - Pens/paper/etc - Small flashlight - 550 parachute cord...

    Saddleback treat!

    I'm running through airports every week, so this is essentially my toolbag... also curious to see if it might be large enough to throw a pair of slacks and a shirt in for overnight trips.

    Saddleback treat!

    Had a great year at work and treated myself to a new Saddleback bag and laptop sleeve. Can't wait to get them! Briefcase in dark coffee and laptop sleeve in tobacco... http://www.saddlebackleather.com/frontpocketbriefcase...

    WTB: High quality leather briefcase

    GTDean, are you looking to sell that Saddleback classic? I love the tobacco color as well... My only concern would be whether the XL will fit under an airplane seat? Other than that, I don't mind the larger size. In fact, it could probably fit slacks/shirt and work as an overnight bag.

    WTB: High quality leather briefcase

    My Wilsons Leather briefcase has done a few years of good service, but it's time for a long term upgrade. I love the Saddleback and Duluth Trading stuff. Looking for a brown/dark brown/coffee color and have no problem if the bag has some wear and tear. Here's an example of the style I...

    Help selecting next leather jacket

    It's been just under a year since I picked up an Alexander Roadster in seal jerky HH. Absolutely love the color, smell, style and everything about this jacket. My only complaint is that I wish it was a bit longer. For my next jacket, I want something with a more relaxed fit and casual...

    Parcelforce shipping question

    UPDATE Called Parcelforce and got a quick answer. They do require signature and we weren't home. Sorry for spinning up a thread, but may be useful for someone down the road!

    Parcelforce shipping question

    My Alexander Leathers Roadster shipped from Scotland on Monday via Parcelforce. I tracked it throughout the week, but last night started showing a status of "held" with description "Address problem - requires sender's instruction". Does anyone know if signature is required for delivery? We...

    Alexander leather sleeve length

    I have to say, I am incredibly impressed by AL so far. I got an immediate response from Amanda this morning taking a precise measurement that was actually closer to 26" on the sleeves. She also said that this jacket was never sold and has probably only been tried on a few times. Already got a...

    Alexander leather sleeve length

    Perfect, I will call them tomorrow to verify all measurements. For those of you that have ordered AL sale/returned items were they in near new condition? I would assume they haven't been worn more than a few times and still smell like new leather?

    Alright, I bought it! I added a comment about sleeve length and will see what they say... will report back with pics!

    Alexander leather sleeve length

    While I'm at it, thought it a good idea to double check all of the other measurements as well. Do these seem inline with a size 42 AL jacket? This is a return item and I don't want to buy a "Unicorn" with odd custom measurements. If I'm measuring right, these seemed fairly close to my...

    Alexander leather sleeve length

    Shirt size is 16.5 34/35, so that would put me at a jacket sleeve length around 25". Thanks!

    Alexander leather sleeve length

    Ok, I just measured a north face fleece that fits me perfectly. Laid out flat and measuring from the top of the seam they are right at 25.5". The measurement across the front to he other shoulder seam is 21". How easy is it for a local tailor to shorten the sleeves? I'd hate to have AL do it...

    What's the best way to take the arm measurement? I'm measuring from the shoulder seam down to wrist when I compared other jackets...

    Alexander leather sleeve length

    After way too much planning and research, I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on an Alexander Roadster Seal Jerky HH. I love the dark rich leather and found one on their sale page. My chest is right at 40. I'm 5'9" and around 170 lb. I compared measurements on this size 42 jacket to a...
