    Take two. Jacket is back with the cuffs facing the right way.

    Himel "The Imperial"

    Yes, the jacket fits me perfectly, I can wear a sweater underneath it. I sent in a jacket that fits me well as well as pictures both wearing the jacket and not wearing the jacket and it was built off that. No issues with fit at all. It may also just be the angle that gives you that impression.

    Himel "The Imperial"

    After much delay (three months past promised date), I finally received mine. I agree that this leather will take a while to break in. Compared to a FCL I received this spring which scuffs of you look at it funny. While, the jacket fit me perfectly, I had to send it back due to a major defect...

    Resold. I hope it works out!

    Fine Creek “James” Jacket Size 44

    This may work. I'm 6'1 and about 210lbs. I usually wear a 44 or 44L as I have a "fuller chest". Here are some terrible fit pics to give you an idea. I think the length and girth is good, it is just the shoulder where it is too tight. It may break in with more wear but I have another new FCL and...

    Fine Creek “James” Jacket Size 44

    It is. It is a little too tight in my shoulders so I put it up on Grailed as I could probably make it work but I would much prefer someone have it whom it fits correctly. I'm only looking for what I paid for it so PM me if interested. Probably best for a slim 44 or 42. I usually wear 44 but...

    Himel "The Imperial"

    Yup, I had watched that video prior to placing my order. I then went back and forth on if I wanted it or not.

    Himel "The Imperial"

    Yeah, my two favorite makers for sure. Once this order comes in I'll have two Himel Bros and two FCLs.

    Himel "The Imperial"

    Alright, I have asked Parker at Himel to keep the traditional back. Partly due to the feedback here and partly due to picking up a used FCL James which is a sports style jacket with the plain back. Since I have a few leather pieces, I try to keep them a bit different from each other to justify...

    I agree 100%. I had no idea they were originally offset.

    Himel "The Imperial"

    Here is my eight-year-old Himel vs. my two month old FCL. Both great jackets and unique in their own way. The Himel is unlined and has molded well to me. The FCL is just a crazy leather that marks if you look at it too hard. It is more of a fun jacket. There are crazy tiger looking stripes in...

    Himel "The Imperial"

    I hear you. There are only 3 scallops which is better than some of the models which have 5 and are definitely too busyIMO. I think this leather speaks for itself and I did also request a light brown thread which will make it pop. I'm not sure if they can even do it though as I never got...

    Himel "The Imperial"

    Very nice. I have one of these on order but I requested a plain back as to me the cathedral back is my least favorite part of the jacket. I have a Himel Bros Kensington since 2012 and I agree these jackets wear extremely hard. I think my two-month-old FCL has more wear on it. Thoughts on my...

    In the sun and under certain lighting, we can see almost tiger stripes in the hh. This I'm sure will make it patina much quicker to end up looking like this:

    A couple fit pics, cross post for that other forum and a closeup of this crazy leather.

    Fine Creek Leather

    I don't want to derail this thread too much but I have two other pairs of JL (but not engineers). I worked with the fine folks at Standard and Strange to make sure I had the correct sizing for the engineers and then I ordered regular sized boots (11.5), no tracings or custom measurements. My...

    Fine Creek Leather

    Yup, just friended him on FB. He had two horse butt hides and he is making one pair of boots for himself and one for me. He asked me what I wanted and after some discussion, we went with engineer boots. There will be only two of these and he will have the other one. Not sure how to upload pics...
