decided to keep it since they aren’t making these again for a long while. would part with it for what i paid (3k) but unfortunately i’m not a very motivated seller atm
bump. moving on from this - it’s been worn for one full season but has tons of life left.
this style has also been temporarily discontinued due to a global leather shortage so these may become even rarer for a few years.
cheers
I’ve tried both on and the Baloo does run a little larger. I think most take the same size, I can’t imagine going down. The length would probably be an issue in that case
Have a Mister Freedom Baloo in great condition for sale. Size 38
Worn maybe 10-15 times this last year but it’s not going to see much wear in Southern California and I need to make room in my closet.
Measurements are from MF:
Chest-21.75
Shoulders-18
Back-23.5
Sleeves-25
Thanks @Kuro & @Carlos840 I actually noticed off the bat how easy movement is in the jacket. I don’t need it for riding now, but might in the near future and can tell it would be a comfortable jacket to ride in. In fact, it’s far more comfortable than other leather jackets I’ve owned or tried on...
Thanks all.. I’ve definitely been going back and forth on the fit. To be honest, the issue seems to be the mirrors in my apartment - they make me look extremely wide in the jacket which doesn’t seem to come out in pictures. Thinking I’ll keep it thanks to the encouragement.
Special thanks...
Would you accept the cumulative time I spent dreaming about the jacket + time waiting after I pre-ordered it? Would add up to about a year. Also, FWIW this leather is extremely malleable IMO. The creasing and tunneling started almost immediately upon trying it on for a few hours indoors...
Brand new (received in the mail Saturday) FW La Brea in Rude Black size 38. Fits me a bit longer in the body and sleeves than I’d like. Incredible workmanship and beautiful leather. Get it now before I keep trying to convince myself to make it work!
$2250
