So many nice jackets I could cry...

I think I did. Great job Terry.

The lining of your Arcadia matches your kitchen!! Unbelievable jackets.

Once again Terry you have outdone yourself.

Love the ELMC's, just wish their pockets and belt werent so high. Goodwear seems to be on the money regarding placement. I think the sharpest fit is the california ventura, although the arcadia is a very nice fit as well.

Once again, very nice videos!

There is definitely a light pre-distressing being done on the ELMC, for some reason it's less obvious on the black ones.
Also, IMO one of the reason they feel tight is because the sleeves are so skinny!
Even though mine fits great in the chest, as soon as i move around much my arms don't have much room at all, which ends up pulling on the chest or back.
I measured the sleeves at the bicep and they are noticeably slimmer than all my other jackets.

Great videos as always, Terry. I must say -- your budget for leather jackets is impressive!

Digital photography is like art without effort. I do want to mention to all that the colors are true. I can not tell with my viewfinder. when reviewed they are correct. the correct colors for the lighting present. It is just what they look like. the lining on the Arcadia is just a part of that complete package, plus it has a nice weight hide.

The pockets are awkward, the Walnut is just a charming idea. I recall their was an issue with the sleeves being too short. A notice that on the Walnut,, but that is fine with me. The Havana must be the corrected sleeve length. The Havana is a beautiful jacket. I've got to get that charm off the zipper!

That Walnut is such forgiving leather it is very much a jacket you want to be breaking in. It will take your shape more so that most. It is a skinny fit, but I like it better than the 46 Havana. The Havana may be hanging for a time. I haven't had much contact with it. The Havana has a goatskin like sheen. Notice how pebbled the grain on the front closeup. Is this like the Italian horsehide Aero uses? Vincenzia?

I'll bring them to you for a small carrying charge.

I am just about, very near, or at my limit. Not only money, but just room in the house. I've got three jackets coming in the mail on Tuesday. I also send jackets out, it has to go both ways.

I'm still trying to figure out what I want. I buy three Good Wears to find one. I did the same thing with guitars. I have multiples of certain models. I don't buy guitars anymore.

I know the jackets in this Video are hard to come buy. I want to share them as much as I can.

I too was buying several guitars at one time. Out of all of them, i settled on 2 custom shop esp's. Was into handguns to at one time.

 

[ProteinNerd]

Where on Earth do you find such nice jackets used? I never see ELMC or Goodwear on eBay.

I bought two of those jackets here. The Walnut Calfornian, the GW original Ventura.

You go through a few find one then want another like it. gets expensive with guitars, getting expensive with jackets.

If you're trying to decide which jackets to keep, my unsolicited votes are for the Walnut ELMC (the Havana seems a tad big on you) and the darker Goodwear Ventura. The lighter Ventura doesn't fit you as well IMHO and the Arcadia appears just a bit too tight. Although my personal favorite is the Arcadia. That plaid lining is something else ...

Thanks Dave. I have heard term, "slim half-belt", not sure how they would fit. As I say the Arcadia is my favorite look, not so much fit. It is a 42. No adjustment room. The Havana is too big. Yes, the darker Ventura is a 44 and the right fit of the GW. The Walnut ELMC is just a keeper.

Way too sensual for youtube Terry. Should be in the 18+ category.
