I'm looking for elongated bar studs for my Kit Karson. Anyone?

I had forgotten but I actually have some 1.25” two prong bars in silver and in brass from this same supplier when they had an Etsy store. If it’s the right size I can send you some.I'm looking for elongated bar studs for my Kit Karson. Anyone?

Your address still the same? How many?
This is a brand from Barcelona that probably has what you’re after: https://www.companiondenim.com/Ok, that might not be a very interesting question but here we go :
Say you’re a thin, slightly lanky bloke who’s looking for straight denims to wear over boots in a vintage fashion.
Would something like a Sugar Cane 1947 be a good place to start ?
Bonus cookie points for denims made in Europe.
Thanks for a truly excellent recommendation. Some lovely and very original cuts there, I’ll probably order one soon.This is a brand from Barcelona that probably has what you’re after: https://www.companiondenim.com/
I have a branded garments for sale in the classifieds that fits the description.While I wait—not without trepidation—for my 5* Cal CHP replica, I’m wondering what other accessible, side-laced cross-zip CHP styles I might keep an eye out for?
So far I have Schott 615/115 (which seem a bit thin on the ground, certainly in 36ish sizes) and Vanson E/Highwayman on my watchlist (as well as the C/als, generally unaffordable Langlitz, and their special-interest variants). What else is out there with laces and a X-zip?

Thanks-if only it were a couple of sizes smaller! Most of my difficulty in sourcing jackets could be alleviated with a late-30s growth spurt but it feels unlikely…I have a branded garments for sale in the classifieds that fits the description.
Exactly this. I realise that this yoke is a bit more restrictive than the yoke on the Premier Highwayman, but it's still ok for me. It's completely adequate for everyday wear and I don't need to do any sport in the jacket.View attachment 596659 https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/favorite-cafe-racer.114100/
What are the fit implications of a straight yoke, like this one on @MrProper ‘s Aero J-100?
It seems like a curved one is more anatomical, and a straight seem would the limit the flex a single piece of leather would have.
I see great jackets in your size all the time. 40 is a more common size so they get snatched up quicker. I'll keep an eye out. I'm sure there's a nice cal with your name on it floating around.Thanks-if only it were a couple of sizes smaller!

Why is some leather advertised in ozs and some in mm?
Is there a conversion?
Johnson M-500 xzip, used by the Oakland PD. Was $650 for the 3.5oz cowhide version not sure what it is now. One of the best out there, I have many variations of this jacket, very comfortable and slim looking at the same time. This is the jacket that got me down the JL rabbit hole so be warned...While I wait—not without trepidation—for my 5* Cal CHP replica, I’m wondering what other accessible, side-laced cross-zip CHP styles I might keep an eye out for?
