We act like all manner of body parts have not been discussed. Or as if insults are not sometimes lobbed around here.

@My Scooter is right... Vanson Horsehide Jacket Russet 36 S Rare Originally sold for $1300

Small size. No jokes please. I couldn't bear it.

My wife who is a seamstress says, Inside leg measurement is sometimes a reference to 'The Inseam measurement"

Bartender Comment: In these parts, we expect people to behave civilly: for reference, see Paddy's long-running sticky thread on this matter. Whatever caused it, the poster DownunderMan several weeks back went on a spree of making deliberately provocative and insulting posts that made personal jibes at a range of forumites, the very least of which was posted above, and led to many reports. This is why the user was pulled. Occasionally, some banned members do like to come back in for a look around. Often they're surprised to discover how quickly they give themselves away, both who they are, and clear indications of repeat behaviour. Please don't assume you know exactly why someone was banned - we do tend to clean up the mess someone makes when they cross a line that way, so it's highly likely you didn't see the offending posts as they will have been disappeared. Banning is not something we do lightly. If folks want to give playground insults or seek to provoke a row, there are better places on the web for that.

Now let's not derail this thread any more, please!

Well, I will miss the man down under and it bothers me I do not see the evidence of why he was banned. I do understand why the people in charge erased offensive posts. I do appreciate the fact the people in charge devote a lot of their time to keep TFL on a civil patch, I do not want the job.

The jacket I been searching for going on twenty years. I just got shafted buying one from Buyee and lost some of the passion. With no further ado.

Approx. Measurements :
Pit to pit across front w/ zipper closed 21”
Shoulder seam to cuff 25”
Back neck seam to helm. 25”
Shoulder tip to shoulder tip. 21”

These measurements seem a lot closer to a Lost Worlds Trojan than the jacket I purchase from buyee

Would like to find a Langlitz Columbia size 46! Tried to buy one here on TFL but the seller wont' return any ones messages.

I don't understand why this matter is even being discussed, as if anything that had happened was in any way open to interpretation. It is not.

If you hadn't been present at the time and didn't see what has transpired, please quit having an opinion and just have faith in what the people who have been here at the time had seen and what they're telling you. There's a damn good reason why moderators have taken such drastic action.

This board has some of the finest moderation online y'all know it takes a lot for action as drastic as this to be taken on TFL. I have nothing against anyone involved, heck, I like that guy myself, nor have I personally taken any part in the incident but line has been crossed and when another line has been drawn, it's been crossed again.

I've seen that one and it was tempting but 27" at the front it's way too long for me sadly.

Listed locally. Looks old and cool. French maybe?

Please buy it if the ptp works for you. You won't be disappointed. I think it's super cool and the length works great with the style.

Everything seems spot on apart from the length, I've bought my first vintage jacket that was just a bit too small from that seller. I might give it a go and return it if it doesn't fit well.

How tall are you? 26' back length is pretty much standard for racing shirts like this. The front length is partially offset because the zipper doesn't go all the way to the bottom.

I guess we don’t have to move on.

I actually did see most of what transpired between him and a few others. And I saw the poking and prodding directed at him that went on for a very long time. No lines apparently were crossed then, but more recently he, and only he, crossed THE line? Fine. We can sick Chopper on his balls. Banned? A bridge too far for me.

Plus, I get the sense that the screws aren’t close hold with details about inmates with certain other inmates. That’s a no-go.

I think it could work. Have you seen @torfjord Brooks? It's the cooles thing ever.

Seller is located in your country plus he accepts returns. If I were you I'd give it a try. Love the design and color.

That colour got my attention in the first place and I also like the design. Not much to lose, you're right.

That is awesome! I haven’t seen a green Brooks before, that is real tempting. @Riu if this fits your chest get it! I normally like shorter jackets but the longer lengths works on these.
