Man, you look dynamite! Fantastic jacket and fit.

Thank you, sir!

And yes, brass hardware goes great with black leather... I like nickel + black better in all-black configurations (black boots, black belt, black shirt, black jacket) Otherwise, I prefer the brass. It's what I think looks so great about Vanson jackets.

Sensational! I've never seen a jacket like that on the street here. I can only imagine you'll deservedly garner loads of compliments on the style & fit wherever you go.

I think you just received your " 'round the world trip" jacket. It won't be stolen from a hostel, with you wearing it at all times.

Hearing all these compliments got me seriously considering the two tone. Keeps getting cooler the more I look at this thread.

I'd be curious to see a two tone in black and cordovan, rather than the brown. I think that would work really well.

What would also be very cool would be something like a Dustbowl in all-black except for a contrast colour on the insude of the rear pleats for a really subtle effect.

Hey MB, amazing two tone jacket! Wow, man. It's pretty damn cool. I'm looking at a 38 or 40, also with 26" sleeves in the Aero Bootlegger. What is your height and weight? Because maybe I should go with the size 38 also, after looking at your photos. Thanks!

Thanks man! Loving this jacket so much, every day.

I'm 5' 8" at 150lbs, with a 40.5" chest. The pit-to-pit on my size 38 J106 is 21.5-22". But remember, every jacket is cut differently. Can't say for sure the 38 Bootlegger will fit the same as a 38 J106. I tend to prefer 22" pit-to-pit for most of my jackets, but I can get away with both 21" and 23". 26" sleeves is my golden choice.

Victor, buy it through Thurston Bros and they will guarantee the right size with their fit jacket service.

@mendelboaz, how tall are you and what's your weight, if you don't mind me asking? I'm considering the j106 myself, as the "one leather jacket to have," and I reckon that we might be a similar size. I'm 183cm, 80kg. Cheers!

If it helps, I'm around the same height/weight and the 40 was perfect for me.
