    New! ELMC Jacket Highway Star®️ Horsehide

    Very nice jacket generally, but I'm siding with the crowd against the collar- shapeless and doesn't lay flat.

    Durable cotton t-shirts to pair with leather jackets

    Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t knocking your opinion. I’m just used to seeing people predominantly wearing t-shirts under leather jackets, and googled it to see if I was imagining things or not. And you should use a VPN :D

    Durable cotton t-shirts to pair with leather jackets

    It seems that a regular t-shirt under a leather jacket is the de facto norm now... Google “perfecto” and in 10 pages of results only one person is wearing anything but a t-shirt under their leather jacket. Google “men’s leather jacket” and in 10 pages of results, again, only one solitary bloke...

    Durable cotton t-shirts to pair with leather jackets

    That’s cool, we’re all entitled to different opinions. I strongly dislike the appearance of turtleneck jumpers, but that’s probably got to do with hating anything touching my throat.

    Aero/LVC Rough n Ready Bird of Prey? jacket

    Was that the one with the fake repairs? I liked the jacket aside from those.

    Durable cotton t-shirts to pair with leather jackets

    Not even tiny logos on the left hand side of the chest? I actually *slightly* prefer that to completely plain t-shirts, for two reasons; It looks to me like something is missing if it's absent, and secondly, it invokes the look of own-brand $2 crap in many people's eyes. (rightly or wrongly)...

    Aero Cafe Racer - Keeper? ( Fit Pics)

    Some peculiarities when you compare that tag size 40 jacket to the tag size 44 jacket (a Cafe Racer with a regular collar- a Sheene, right?) I was sent to try a couple of years ago:

    Thanks for the heads up! :)

    Sou'west Chunkies Sweaters

    Can't see the Navy Blue or Chocolate options on their website. I'm fond of Navy Blue...

    Sou'west Chunkies Sweaters

    I emailed him just now- lets see what he has to say. Any recommendations on colour? I'm leaning towards cream or black.

    Durable cotton t-shirts to pair with leather jackets

    46" chest, 35" waist, long torso. I'm fine with t-shirts that flatter my physique- I don't want a boxy shapeless thing with a 50" circumference around my waist. Why go to the gym all the time only to wear a sack? 24" pit to pit, with a 23" opening is fine. High arm holes and relatively tight...

    Modern "Grizzly" Jackets?

    The Himmel one looks ok, but gosh, they're usually terrifyingly bad- particularly with long fur. Let's not sugar coat it- this is a divisive item, and it will scare away the opposite sex.

    Durable cotton t-shirts to pair with leather jackets

    I have no problems wearing any but my very heaviest t-shirts in Asian summers- and we're talking 40 degrees celsius!

    Durable cotton t-shirts to pair with leather jackets

    Sizing on premium retro workwear t-shirts is harder for me to get right than on bargain t-shirts. To get a t-shirt long enough for my torso I'd often end up with 25 inch pit to pit (this bit isn't too bad, I need 24"), shoulders that are too wide, low arm holes, extra long sleeves that are...

    Aero Cafe Racer - Keeper? ( Fit Pics)

    Try to exchange it, I'd say. Shoulder seams are sliding off the edge of your shoulder, sleeves appear too wide and far too long, collar looks a bit off, and the jacket length is excessive.

    Durable cotton t-shirts to pair with leather jackets

    And yes, I baby new t-shirts and the priciest t-shirts I have, especially if they're light colours. Older dark t-shirts take the brunt of any potentially damaging wear.

    Durable cotton t-shirts to pair with leather jackets

    15 years ago I had a wardrobe full of white t-shirts... now I tend to prefer colours. Dark blue frequently, sometimes black, but I have a variety of maroons and pinks too, and a few patterns. I like a mixture of collar types as well. And I like 100% cotton, even when it gets stupidly hot.

    Durable cotton t-shirts to pair with leather jackets

    They still make some nice stuff, which may surprise everyone- I bought a lovely western shirt there a year ago. Great fabric, perfect athletic cut, and a good price. But most of their offerings are dismal- couldn’t even find an acceptable sweatshirt, and their old sweatshirts were absolutely top...

    Durable cotton t-shirts to pair with leather jackets

    Had I known they were going to drop their quality so low, I’d have bought a load more of their old t shirts. Their best stuff 10 years ago was second to none in terms of quality. They’re aiming for a different market now and in the UK they’re selling for about 25% of their peak price, so at...

    Durable cotton t-shirts to pair with leather jackets

    Wow, loads of recommendations to check out- thanks lads! In terms of the cheap ones, will definitely check out the Kirkland (Cosco) shirts... I bought their socks a few times and was really impressed. I live in China and I spotted the same thing. Why we now revere that construction and...
