    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I'm surprised Aero can put that red tab on the breast pocket without getting sued into oblivion by Levi's

    The Flat Head SRJ-06 Cafe Racer in Brown

    You can sometimes find a western world retailer that sold the jacket and see if they have sizes. Self Edge loves taking down stuff so I just use the internet archives to go back in time and get them. Flat Head generally doesn't deviate too much from make to make so if Self Edge/R&H said the...

    The Flat Head SRJ-06 Cafe Racer in Brown

    Yeah thats pretty short. You can always request pictures of the measurement from the seller. Worst case scenario they ghost you. For reference my Delraiser is 41" chest with 24.25" length and I wouldn't want it a centimeter shorter. My cafe racer (this thread) is similar length. I'm 5'10"...

    The Flat Head SRJ-06 Cafe Racer in Brown

    I'm no where near expert enough to offer advice to other people. Just do the normal process of measuring yourself or a well fitting jacket and finding something that comes close.

    Buying jackets on Japanese auction sites

    Certainly a possability. The only time I've had to pay customs was years ago when I kept buying stuff off Rakuten and FedEx asked for payment on delivery. So far that has been my only experience paying a duty. My jacket was dropped off over a month ago and no bill so far.

    Buying jackets on Japanese auction sites

    Here is the cost breakdown of my Flat Head I bought off Buyee. This year I've spent around $1300 on importing from buyee and have yet to pay a dime in customs. All-in the 89,998 jacket cost me 96,234 . Buy price: 89,998 yen Fees: Payment Fee 200 yen Buyee Service Fee 300 yen Standard Plan...

    The Flat Head SRJ-06 Cafe Racer in Brown

    Sounds like you're slightly taller and leaner. My chest is more around 39" with a 31/32" waist. If you can find this particular model of jacket I'd still probably recommend the 38. You'd really be running into problems with the body and sleeve length of the jacket if you sized down. But...

    Is Denim the new Leather - Collectable jackets?

    Did Roy make his jeans fully chainstich or did he lockstitch everything but the hem?

    Can we please discuss sizing of jackets please

    Theres a reason most retailers will list shoulder, p2p, body length and sleeve length. Sometimes you just need to know your personal measurements and no matter how much you may like a jacket it just won't work out for you. Like Carlos I have wide shoulders and a comparatively wide chest to my...

    Freewheelers Mulholland (Spartan Leathers Sportwear Repro)

    Mine is just used to it now. Though I do tend to take off my Delraiser when I have to hop on a video meeting. I don't think my team is prepared for it :)

    Fit check: Are those sleeves too short

    Looks good to me but I also prefer my sleeves to be a bit on the shorter side kind of hitting just below the wrist

    Freewheelers Mulholland (Spartan Leathers Sportwear Repro)

    During the summer months its a no-go to wear a jacket but southern California is cooler than many people expect. I moved here from middle America kind of on a whim and a job offer not really knowing the climate and I assumed it would be like Florida; aka middle America's vacation destination of...

    Is Denim the new Leather - Collectable jackets?

    I appreciated his work and really dug the scalloped pockets but honestly his jeans fits didn't look good to me. Kinda meh denim as well. The brand always felt a bit overhyped to me due to the one man aspect of it.

    Is Denim the new Leather - Collectable jackets?

    The Roy jacket is an exception but it does kind of prove the point that you can make some profit denim collecting. I think most people in the know saw mint Roy stuff already had a really high resale and then when he quit the scene things shot up. If you managed to scoop up a bunch of stock...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I'm not an admin so I don't wish to speak for them but comments like his sent a very bad tone for a forum which is designed to share pictures of ourselves and our clothing. It isn't so much a short joke but a personal attack on someone's appearance. If a member does have personal insecurities...

    I may be too stupid to understand his insult but wtf does that even mean? Can I get a translator?

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    Newbie question but what is the function of the huge metal hardware on the front? Is the idea to have the metal take the brunt of a slide?

    Ok guys, need your input

    Maybe if you're going for an ornate back you maybe lose the D pocket on the front?

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I saw him making personal attacks against another user in one of the threads. I'm not exactly an expert on the rules around here but that easily could be the reason. Granted said user I believe did make the first comment. It felt very high school tbh.
