What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

[Jaymig926]

Can anyone recommend a tailor in the nyc area for tapering a leather jacket ?
Thanks In advance !

Took my chances with a vtg Johnson Leather CHP on ebay.

This thing is a monster, over 10 lbs heavy, yet very comfortable and most importantly very practical in design - it has three insode pockets, two outside, all leather lined.

It runs larger than what I usually wear, 21“ shoulders instead of the 19.5“ I usually shoot for and it is very long for a CHP - maybe originally made for a taller man, though the sleeves make me doubt it. I dont mind either, I call this the „Twin Peaks“ fit - I recently rewatched that show and James wears a moto jacket atleast one size too large, so.. Twin Peaks fit.

I would have thought this fit looked familiar but had trouble placing it. It does indeed look like James from Twin Peaks lol

None. Too hot for even surprisingly decent Cockpit fabric Pseudo A-2

It most certainly is a late 80s or early 90s take on the CHP style too, it is the old vtg JL label and the entire beasts dimensions are way off from a 50s MC style; it is atleast 2“ longer than any Cal I ever handled and has this 80s/90s wide shoulder design.. the pit to pit is <21.5“ inch, so this is a size 40-42 with crazy wide shoulders by design, not me oversizing by 5 sizes.. so the design period also puts it very fitting into Twin Peaks territory.

Looks good brother!

On a side note, it's funny how you envision people being older based simply on their avatars. I didn't know you were so young, LOL. I guess for that matter, people think Im a leather jacket wearing Siamese cat.
