    Aero Ridley Fit Check

    I think shoulders and sleeve length are perfect. Sizing up will ruin that. It depends on what jeans/pants you’ll be wearing with it. With the ones you have on, I agree with @MrProper adding a little bit more length in the front. I personally would want just a touch more width in the abdomen, but...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    The sleeve girth (?) looks good, but as we all know, looking good and being comfortable are two different things. I’m still mourning the loss of that Aero you had a while back that looked perfect but you said was uncomfortable. I think sleeve length is one of the most subjective details. Per...

    For sale: Schott P213 Raven Size L Black

    One of these has been on my wish list for a while! Schotts tend to run large, and I think I’m more of a medium. The ptp is wide, but the sleeves and back length look perfect for me

    Double Helix Deviant Horsehide Jacket for sale - 40 chest UK

    These are great jackets! I’m sure the guys will want to know the exact measurements if you have a tape handy.

    Schott 618 fit check

    Two things you’ll find here: 1) Fit is very subjective. 2) Your own opinion will change over time. If you like it, wear it and enjoy it! My own experience has been, however, that if I don’t love it immediately, I’ll never pull it out of the closet. So if you have any hesitations, I’d say...

    What are other jackets similar to the FreeWheelers 37J1? I’m digging the more streamlined collar.

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

    The sleeve length looks perfect for you, but isn’t that p2p too small? And should it feel weird to know that?

    Double Helix Works?

    I don't think anyone has answered this yet. I don't know what the normal markup for specialty clothing is, but in a lot of other shops, it's 50%. My guess is that this shop has a formula they use, and the increased sales price reflects a higher than average cost to obtain the merchandise...

    Fit check on my first leather jacket

    I think the jacket fits great. But a heavy weight Schott is a tough first jacket. It’s not going to be comfortable ‘til you’ve broken it in, and that’s going to take some time. A few years ago, many of the posts were about how to speed up the break in process (with much debate if it should be...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    What did you decide for last, heel stack, heel profile, and toe structure? I actually kind of like the full Vibram sole better, and may skip the Biltrite sole.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Here are the two pics from the website I sent them, and their response: It is 1964 medium brown both smooth and roughout, the tan is much lighter! I cannot determine the last with a photo, it was likely HNW but I don't know for sure. It has a block heel and a moderate height heel stack

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    So I'm looking at placing an order. I'm just having trouble selecting the options from their custom menu. It's not abundantly clear which options go with the sample boots pictured. I've sent them an email.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I didn't realize Nick's made these! I've had my eye on a pair, especially since I've seen @dublinprem 's awesome Clinch pair. I thought about going with the ShipJohn Wescos, but wasn't up to dealing with figuring out the fit. But since I already know my Nick's size...

    2022 - the year of suede?

    I have a couple suede jackets that I don’t really wear. With leather, I feel like it wears in. Maybe I just need to adjust my expectations, but I’m worried suede will get stained and look bad. I think rough out cow seems to wear better than goat suede, but I do like how soft and light it is.

    Post Thedi Leather Jacket Photos Here........

    I’m working on an order with Thurston Bros. I like the camo lining, and was thinking of going with the Cuoio, but then I thought the other colors looked better. I guess it doesn’t really matter though, right?
