    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Not sure where you got that idea from, but I hang all of my blazers and suit jackets buttoned for the exact same reason above.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    It is a matter of personal preference. I’m just grabbing a random pic and a pic of the above poster to illustrate this point further. If you notice, both wearers wear their jackets unzipped. However, the above poster has the jacket flared outward toward the waist (this is the effect of the...

    Have you slept in new leather jackets to break in?

    I’ve tried sleeping in leather jacket before. If you tend to move around a bit during sleep like I do, the jacket would feel really restrictive and limit movements a lot. After I wake up, I felt my tendons (at the shoulder joint) really sore. It’s not recipe for a good night of sleep.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    It looks like you hang your jacket unzipped. That would cause the sag in the shoulder toward the chest, not the waist. It’s the same issues with button-front shirts. Always hang your jackets/shirts zipped up or buttoned up.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Why is this “bonfire vintage”? I see no leather cracking… could this be revived with a fresh lining and a coat of pecard?

    Fitcheck Fine creek leon 44 or 42. Which one should i choose.

    Now that’s how a crosszip should fit! Relatedly, could we please bring back the honest reviews? I keep seeing low quality brands getting promoted/ad time and no one is bashing them—definitely not enough.

    I’d sell it and buy something that fits.

    Fitcheck Fine creek leon 44 or 42. Which one should i choose.

    Definitely the tubular pattern that makes the extra fabric scrunched up in the back. Look at where I circled in the photos, the waist is not a good fit. It should have draped closer to the body (with no extra fabric), not loosely with the extra space sticking out and the extra fabric scrunching...

    Fitcheck Fine creek leon 44 or 42. Which one should i choose.

    Agree with others, both are not a good fit. 42: arm length too short, and body width too baggy—see the folded/scrunched up leather showing on the back, that’s way too much extra fabric. Jacket is too long; it should have stopped above the belt. 44: arm length is fine but the body width is even...

    Is it safe to buy RRL from Ali Express?

    Aliexpress is based out of China. RRL is mostly made in China so it is plausible that they have access to the local manufacturer of the real RRL stuff, assuming it’s not fake. But chances are if the prices are too good to be true, they are likely too good to be true.

    Love that collar—it looks pretty formal, even though it’s a tan leather jacket. Nice kop

    Double Helix Works “Innovator” black horsehide size 38 - $675 shipped

    You’re a size XL/42 in JP sizing, typically. Maybe 1 more size up actually. I’m at 5’9, 38” chest, 155 lbs and I’m a size L/40 in JP sizing.

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    The jacket is not bad, I’d wear it if I were peacocking and trying to look different or unique. But that pair of pants though—it’s gross, especially when paired together with the jacket. Both become too much.

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    I would remove the shoelaces or cut them short. I kind of like the slanted D pocket. I would wear this.
