    Will your new jacket ever look vintage?

    ugggh... looks like it rusted rather than "teacore'd"

    Y'2 HR-41 Single Riders

    Don't sell 'em short... you're right the photos on their website look horrible, they seem to give their models oversized jackets. But if you explore some threads like WJAYWT, you'll see some incredible fit pics.

    Don't disagree there. There's certainly a lot more effort needed to separate the wheat from the chaff.

    Y'2 HR-41 Single Riders

    like @Marc mndt mentioned, 2 jackets with the same size tag could measure slightly different. There's always some variance due to the characteristics of the panels, the craftsmanship and even the method of measuring itself. Typically makers mention a variance of 0.5" which lines up with the...

    This is looking more like their 50’s HB. No yoke, no buttons on cuffs, less darts on back and side adjuster straps just go straight thru rather than loop back

    Yes, he's very concise and to the point over email, but never missed or ignored a question I asked - which I appreciate. Think he saves his vocabulary for the website lol Idk about the all caps thing - sometimes I've gotten messages from him with large font, but never all caps. I live 20 mins...

    Can't speak for Theodoros as I've never dealt with him (tho I understand from others on this forum, that they've been able to visit him in person and had a great experience), but that's not LW or Stuart's approach. He'd rather have you walk away than watch how you walk or ask for a copious set...

    Gotcha, I thought it might have been a problem area for you. Kinda like me and my relationship with sleeve length. Anyway broad shoulders or not, point still stands... if he's unwilling to provide measurements, provide him with what usually works for you instead. With a point of reference...

    Confounded by sizing

    If you're broad shouldered and have concerns, I would provide him measurements of a jacket I like and ask if he thinks the shoulders would be too restrictive based on that - you just need to feed him some data I noticed he tends to discount that measurement in particular, but I've found if you...

    I get what you were going for, but was secretly hoping it was along these lines:

    maybe he changed his approach, but fwiw, he's shared the measurements with me but still said they're meaningless lol

    It’s all good… if you’re happy with a jacket that you intend to wear unzipped, just do you and enjoy life

    Confounded by sizing

    Keep in mind, that while we list measurements here like P2P, shoulders and back/sleeve length... there's a myriad of other measurements that the pattern makers consider. These numbers are not the be all and end all to define whether the jacket will work for you or not as the other person...

    Wtb: lost worlds buco rider 42 or 44

    Yeah, I woulda grabbed this one, but I know the sleeves would be on the short side and waist may be snug I think this is one of those patterns u gotta size up from your usual like J23

    New to leather jackets — fit/style questions

    While measurements play an important role to understand if the jacket lands in your general fit "area", they don't tell the whole story. For instance, how cafe racers are typically meant to fit like a racing shirt vs half-belts which are relatively more relaxed. Especially an Aero 50's which...
