Thank you! I always have trouble figuring out the classifieds on here and styleforum, math is hard, m’k? Definitely not vintage, it’s the Sheeley I got in August.
My BR N-1 has been fine so far but I’ve only used it down to -14° C, the real test will come in December/January. I’ll be using it at work (van/outdoors/indoors) but wearing a serious down parka for the walk between work and home.
I feel I should illustrate my purchases, sadly coupled with my corporeal self.
The fits on so many here are so so spot on and I can never aspire to those given my physiology and psychology.
I believe the open jacket pics put me in the best light, especially the N1.
Second hand via ‘From Japan’ Pherrow’s Single Rider appeared on my doorstep yesterday, really nice heavy (to me!) horsehide in a jacket that works for my proportions. Paid a little less than half of the new price for something that I can’t find any real signs of usage on!
Liner damage is not something that would keep me away from a jacket. 'Course I'm the guy who purposefully ripped the lining out of a brand new suede trucker...
Yeah, that’s the thing; I’ve no idea what models they offer, no sizing tables (though to be honest most makers are shite when it comes to that) and no prices.
Not nuts about the long body fit but the rest of it seems to sort of work for me. I'm looking at a Pherrow's that might do, don't have a black jacket yet...
