^ Them there some BIG pockets (edit: I mean vents).
Ps: Cool design.

How in God's name could you have stood there right next to all those Kensingtons and not grab one. . ?
Funny you should ask . . . . because I ordered a custom Kensington.
Would you believe me if I said I'm suddenly looking forward to it literally as much as you do? Details, DETAILS!! It's gonna have a mandarin collar, right? Please tell me it's gonna have a mandarin collar!
Thanks Ivan. Yes, mandarian collar. Brown Shinki. A hair longer than standard. The biggest tweak is to the sleeve width. The Kensington has VERY narrow sleeves at the wrist. Himel is widening the sleeves at the wrist -- he is also adding leather webbing underneath the zipper (the exposed zipper does not work for me). The only thing I am on the fence about is the stitching. I generally prefer matching stitching -- IMHO, it is more versatile. That said, contrast stitching on a brown cafe racer is really sharp and livens things up.

Received this double breasted ~1940s leather jacket 1-2 weeks ago. Probably German or French judging by the lack of crazy yokes. No label inside but moleskin liner and also in the pockets. Wearing just a flanell shirt from SJC underneath but I can fit a thick jumper which is the reason I bought it, a colder weather leather coat:
Extremely cool! Rare to see one of these with sufficiently long sleeves. Shoulders are 10/10.
LOOOOL...Oh man you had me spit up my coffee this morning. That's good stuff. It's funny because it's true. I do ball my fists up in almost every pic. Don't be trying to thieve on my blue steel.Good Wear Imperial (check out the wrinkling sleeves -- any more wrinkles and I might have to replace it with a new one -- j/k):

That is a very cool jacket Willyto.Thank you! I'm not used to such structured shoulders and the jacket has padding so it feilt weird at first but I love it. It's a very different style than what I'm used to, out of my comfort zone.
The seller did a fantastic job with the pictures and the measurements, it was very easy to check if it would fit or not, sleeves are the right lenght for my taste.
The back has a belt that is in fixed position, I forgot to take a photo now that I think of it:
The detail on the stitching:
Thank you sir. I just noticed when I pulled it out of the closet today how much it weighed. I don't think they shaved this hide down much at all.
