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

    I really like this one I found on Y! Jp although perhaps a bit too vintage looking for the rest of my wardrobe, plus the seller won’t deal with proxies... It made me think that there aren’t many raglan sleeve leather jackets around.

    Custom Simmons-Bilt Cross Zip fit- seeking opinions

    The answer you got from Eastman seems the only logical to me and the one I’d expect when i enquiry about sizes before putting down a grand towards a jacket! As long as they make clear upfront their error tolerance, then it is just a matter of them being able to stick to their own specs. I...

    Custom Simmons-Bilt Cross Zip fit- seeking opinions

    Exactly why would they need a jacket in stock to provide measurements?! I think relying on body measurements sent in by the customers is a much riskier game for the maker. In the case of the OP for instance they could just have stated the size 38 and 40 stock measurements so he could compare...

    Custom Simmons-Bilt Cross Zip fit- seeking opinions

    Trust me I did when I put in my custom order and the response I got at the time was that they didn’t have any jacket of the same style/size in stock to measure.

    Custom Simmons-Bilt Cross Zip fit- seeking opinions

    It’s so annoying when these makers don’t disclose stock size measurements. Why wouldn’t they? How do they cut patterns? In this respect, Aero is also the same. They won’t say.

    God that’s almost a perfect shot but to make it next level he should be doing a cuff check with his other hand!

    The model looks like came out of a period movie set. Very early 20th century, a bit too much imho. I don’t dislike the jacket though, relatively affordable too.

    Posers aside I still think there is a lot of good inspiration and interesting accounts on IG. It is a great place to keep up with shops and generally speaking men’s fashion (I assume we are all interested in that in one form or the other as otherwise we wouldn’t be members of a clothing forum...

    Definitely all staged, last thing one thinks when working (let alone manual labour) is taking a picture of himself. Jeez if I started taking pictures of myself while working they’d be all the same. Sitting at a desk staring at the monitor :D

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    ^Pretty cool! You should rock them with some Wranchers hemmed with no break.

    Jackets You Regret Buying vs. Ones You Got Out of Your System

    Every jacket purchase is a bit of a learning experience. No big regrets apart from the fact that going custom for me as never worked out particularly better than OTR, in fact it’s probably been worst. I too like the fit on the Himel button front on you in those photos. It gives off a relaxed...

    You see one of these accounts it’s like you’ve seen them all: red wing, selvedge, flannel shirts, beards... yawn. Wasn’t this style (urban lumberjack?) popular a decade or so ago? Anyway, the cuff check might have been “cool” when the first guy did it, if the entire Instagram do it then well...

    Tradeoffs - Himel Bros vs. Freewheelers?

    Apart from Himel offering MTO and Freewheelers being just OTR, I wouldn’t know. Both top tier makers.

    Himel "The Imperial"

    What?! Wow that is annoying.... Maybe it’s for the best as it looks like you need at least a size up.
