    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    It's in the mail, it has to cross the ocean and clear customs, i would say mid January probably.

    Himel Bros Imperial Fit

    Personally Himel left me unsatisfied... He admitted my jacket had construction issues but wanted me to pay for all shipping fees and taxes associated with a remake, so i kept my poorly made jacket.

    Himel Bros Imperial Fit

    Well when John Chapman designed that pattern it was not a long style: That jacket was 1 size too large for me, but you can see the proportions are completely different. IMO that Goodwear Imperial has "correct" vintage proportions, the Himel above looks too elongated to my eyes, the body is...

    Himel Bros Imperial Fit

    Liking a long jacket and elongating short jacket designs to make them long jackets are two different things. I have nothing against long jackets by design, i don't like the modern trend of elongating short designs, it kills the porportions.

    Himel Bros Imperial Fit

    To me the body is still too long, it should IMO not be as long as an untucked shirt, if it was shorter you wouldn't get the bunching in the middle of your back. The fact that you are wearing low rise jeans make that jacket even longer, the jacket should finish just below your belt, not halfway...

    Aero Dustbowl - CXL FQHH Brown - Fit / Impressions / Thoughts

    It looks too big to me. It looks somewhat ok from the front as you have pulled the side adjusters in fully, but from the back and side it looks huge.

    Thinking about Lost Worlds.. thoughts, experiences?

    I mean, he's not forcing you to buy it is he? If you don't like it don't buy it. Also, the belt has the fixer if you want it: It's interresting how LW bashing goes in phases, it felt like we had evolved past that recently and then boom, a fresh bashing session to celebrate the end of 2022...

    Thinking about Lost Worlds.. thoughts, experiences?

    I did ask him a while back and he told me he didn't include belts in the price cause most people don't wear one. It's a loose loose situation for him though... If the belt was included in the price people who don't wear a belt would complain that they had to pay for something they don't want...

    What do you layer under your leather jacket?

    Personally i believe in layering many thin wool layers. It's currently freezing where i live, and on a standard day i'll wear a merino T shirt and a cashmere Uniqlo jumper like below: I have that jumper in a bunch of colours, it is good value for money and warm, if i know i'll be hanging...

    Leather jacket fit check please

    To me it looks like an average leather jacket worn by the people who know nothing about leather jackets. It's too long, it's shapeless and featureless. If you have an Aero incoming return this jacket and wait, it will be worth it.

    Thinking about Lost Worlds.. thoughts, experiences?

    I'm 6'2", long arms, all my custom LW are specced as 42 with the length of a 44, that usually comes up to 25.25" body an sleeves. Personally i think that's perfect: These are stock 44 sizes bought second hand, i wear them in winter with extra layers:

    Thoughts on the Thunder Bay from Aero

    I have to say that i now disagree with that statement. Up untill a year ago i would have +1 you and said that the shell has no importance, it's all about the inside insulation, not anymore. Last winter was the first winter during wich i rode my bike everyday, and i can tell you now that leather...

    Thinking about Lost Worlds.. thoughts, experiences?

    I'm done trying to defend LW after this, but saying "His 44”L Ryder has 24” sleeves" is a misrepresentation, there is no standard length for a Long size, anything that has a L or S label was custom ordered to the specs of a specific customer. Maybe that specific guy wanted +2" in the body and...

    They offer you a remake, i have had two jackets remade without a problem.

    Thinking about Lost Worlds.. thoughts, experiences?

    I think somehting was lost in photo2u's post: You don't have to pay 750$ for NOS zippers if you don't want to... If you are happy with the repro Talon zippers he uses those are included in the stock price. If you want NOS zippers used you then pay for them. Yes NOS zippers on a J-23 come up to...

    FS: Lost Worlds Easy Rider HH Jacket 42

    I think you are painting this wrong. ( On the edge of a strawman really!) Nobody ever implied he was a criminal mastermind, nobody implied he had sold jackets under fair transaction previously just to gain our trust with the ultimate goal of scamming me. All i am saying is, Zot was a seller i...

    FS: Lost Worlds Easy Rider HH Jacket 42

    I have sent Zot multiple emails (regular email, not TFL messages). Unless he has moved to Alaska and hasn't had internet access in two weeks he knows... Zot is not really a member, he is a seller, TFL isn't a community to him, it is a place to sell his jackets. I have no sympathy for him after...
