Okay guys, so I need the assistance of The Fedora Lounges expertise. I have been looking for a Freewheelers Caboose in Dead Leaf Brown in size 40 for, well, a long time. Years. Its all Dudwhatthehecks fault, lol. I am pretty active over on Grailed and noticed a lot of Asian sellers with a LOT of Freewheelers for sale. I have always been apprehensive to purchase from these sellers and never understood how their operation must work. Last week though, A size 40 Freewheelers Caboose in Dead Leaf Brown popped up in size 40. It was exorbitantly priced but I decided to send an offer regardless and just see where it lead. I have owned a lot of Freewheelers, in fact I sold Papalaka my Sunset which i now wish i had kept. I have a Caboose in size 40 in Black jack already and know how they fit. I have a mulholland and a Bodie both in black. Anyhow after some negotiation I agreed to buy the jacket for a little more than it would have cost new. I paid the "freewheelers tax" as it has been called here. I was fine paying that amount assuming the jacket was as described. After all this was pretty much THE jacket i have been looking for for years. The seller shipped from Shanghai China really quickly via Fedex. The jacket arrived ridiculously fast. like 4 days from China fast. so now on to the interesting part......
Upon opening the box it looks good. That Dead Leaf Brown looks even better in person. the leather is thick and pliable. I throw it on and immediately something is not right. N
ow I dont want to spoil the fun so Ill post a single fit pic and see if everyone can tell just based on that what is wrong with this jacket. Then Ill post the rest and I think it will be an interesting discussion. its super obvious up close and somebody ruined a perfectly amazing jacket in my opinion but i just want to see what people think initially
Excuse the mess in the pic. and the leather y2 pants .i have a terrible addiction, my wife has banished me and all my "leather detritus" as she puts it to the spare bedroom.
