The brown 118 has been in my mind for quite some time. If I can ever find a 52 Long, pre-owned of course I would make a charge at it.

@Whitters beautiful jacket. Fits you perfectly and the whole outfit is awesome. I wouldn't think to wear a grizzly with chucks, but man does it work.

That Lasso western jacket is just too cool! It's very unique and it suits you extremely well!
2 very cool jackets that look perfect on you! Moving from Japanese replicas to vintage was an extremely good move. These fit you so much better than the Freewheelers stuff!

@navetsea love the new hairstyle! That mandarin collar shirt also works very well with your unique (one of the self-made ones again?) jacket. Lovely outfit/look overall.
Very nice. The high rise jeans on the last picture go so well with the overall 40s look. If you made that picture in black and white or sepia and photoshopped in some scratches and grain you could fool a lot of people that the pic is from the 40s.

Yup definitely. Freewheelers makes great patterns, but they didn't suit me. These vintage jackets fit me far better.
Thanks! That's the general direction my style is heading toward. I'm not that level of photoshop editor though.

You look the part here 100%. Black and white and I wouldn't know if it's you or some old photo.

Weird little A-1 style suede thing I got off eBay. Nothing special but looks nice at work.

Is it the same shirt that @Tom71 has in indigo? Looks great. You guys are totally killin it. The second pic is particularly badass.
Yes I think it's similar
Not sure if the leather is the same, this is the vintage pony.

Sheesh, you cool man.
I believe it´s the same pattern (all measurements are the same, so efficiency would dictate working from the same pattern...). The shirt comes in 4 or 5 different hides/thicknesses/tannings, so look and feel may very well differ.
@Whitters: How long have you been having this? Sizing as in: one up from your "usual" size (if there is a "usual", that is...)?
I got this last year and yes needed to size up from my usual 40.
It's a very thick hide, and still a little shiny, but I hope with wear it will settle down.

Thanks! I don't want all my outfits to look like that, but I do want some to have that effect.

ANOTHER Double Helix Deviant.. this time Size 42. With an 18" Shoulder and 22" P2P (I have a 41.5" chest), thought I nailed the fit and now saw myself with it with the iphone camera and having doubts. Will probably return it. Damn. What y'all think?
I had a 40 about a few months ago and thought it will give with wear. It did not. If horsehide is too small, it will be too small.

Attachments
At first glance, I think they are quite good. At second glance, I find the hem and underarms too wide. I think they should be tighter when the zips on the sleeves are closed. But as always, it's a matter of taste.
