    Advice on a jacket with odd measurments?

    Looks good. Maybe your shirt was bunched a bit, so it felt weird on the inside.

    Fit Check - Lost Worlds Horsehide A1

    From the back it looks too big in the shoulders. It's not pulled tight but is loose at the shoulders and bunched at the armpits. Like the shoulders are too square. If you shrug your shoulders up the armpit bunch will go away. You need a style with more slope from the neck hole to the sleeve...

    Opinions needed on an RMC J-24 fit

    The way the sleeves cave in at the shoulders makes it look like your shoulders are smaller than your hips. Look into a style that is shorter with less bulky stuff going on around the belly and hem.

    Jacket Collecting - Ever ask why?

    I collect $2 bills to distribute as tips. Folks love getting them and tell me they are saving them up. The hundreds don't hang around long. The $2 bills stay brand new.

    Jacket Collecting - Ever ask why?

    I've been riding Harleys, Yamaha R6, and now Indian for 48 years with mostly the same 2 leather jackets. When the temps drop below freezing the ski jackets or duck hunting jackets come out. None have been "the one". Maybe soon... I have a few jackets coming my way eventually. You could...

    Jacket Collecting - Ever ask why?

    Collecting anything can be either a whole bunch of fun, or a massive waste of time. At one time I collected cast iron implement seats from the 1800's. Had over 350 of them. They are very interesting and ornate. Used as seats on early horse drawn implements. They covered my garage walls. The...

    Lewis Leathers botched repair job on boots

    No. I wear Nick's boots when I ride my motorcycles.

    Lewis Leathers botched repair job on boots

    Considering the heel is such a weak point in that style, I would not want to test them out in a crash...

    Motor touring boots?

    Why not rebuild the pair you are using now?

    Anyone still here??

    I graduated high-school in 1973. If you look at this year's yearbook, it almost looks like the same style. While testing fighter jets outside, on a windy 20 degree day, i wore my Jack Wolfskin parka with a fur hood, my teammate had a Champion sweatshirt on. He was from California and didn't own...

    Anyone still here??

    Still here. I'm the outlier that dresses for practical reasons. I'm really not into impressing anyone. Always looking to see if anything interesting shows up that works with my long arms and short torso. The fashion scene seems ridiculous most of the time with men bundled up under many layers...

    Leather jacket sizing, too big or small?

    I noticed that you said thick real motorcycle jackets are unbearably hot for you when it's 90 degrees. Would you care to share the circumstances you were wearing motorcycle jackets when 90 outside? It didn't sound like you ride a bike. In stop and go weather on a motorcycle an airbag would be a...

    Leather jacket sizing, too big or small?

    Perhaps the aftermath of a fight. Someone grabbed the collar turning it inside out at the throat. Moments later Someone else snapped the picture.

    Leather jacket sizing, too big or small?

    If we didn't care about the price and the question was different the response may be like this: Hey guys, do you think this would be a good beater jacket for motorcycle camping? Do you think it will have enough mobility for camping chores? I plan to do a lot of outdoor cooking, reaching out over...

    Leather jacket sizing, too big or small?

    It doesn't look good or comfortable with the shirt all bunched up in front. Sleeves are too wide and long unless you're riding a motorcycle. It has a lot of extra material in the chest area that looks uncomfortable in the armpit area. And the belt will be annoying dangling behind your waist. I...

    Sizing Recommendation for Aero Battle of Britain Jacket

    I always think of this as being an outdoor work jacket for cold windy days. Something I would wear while working on my plane in the hangar or outside on the flight ramp. Something to wear while running errands on the motorcycle during the winter season. Afternoon hiking with my bird dogs. I...

    Sizing Recommendation for Aero Battle of Britain Jacket

    Totally agree with making sure it has enough room to toss on over anything you may be wearing. Rather than something with a snug fit, where you need to change what your wearing to fit the jacket.

    Sizing Recommendation for Aero Battle of Britain Jacket

    Thurston Bros has a stock RAF shearling 36 on their web. Write those measurements down and go to a store or motorcycle shop with leather jackets and find something close to it. See how that fits. Then size down if you need to. The RAFstyle jacket isn't that critical a fit. You need a bit of room...

    Sizing Recommendation for Aero Battle of Britain Jacket

    Great idea. Since Aero has children's they should be able to fit any size.

    Sizing Recommendation for Aero Battle of Britain Jacket

    Maybe look at another brand in a children's large. The length of the body and sleeves will likely be way too long in the 34.
