Thanks. Thats pretty close to what I’m getting too. Still wondering what to use the gusset pocket for lol

Hey bro, glad you got the confirmation. It may not smell brand new, but certainly looks that way. Enjoy wearing it. Best looking jacket so far.

I know this is abt the Buco Ryder but what was the sizing/measurements on your Appalachian like if u don’t mind me asking here? Lol

That’s an interesting mini half-belt :D Sorry, no idea what else to call it. Is there a proper term for this type of back design?

I think you need to stop making assumptions about what happens in office cubicles... things can get exciting now and then

I'd keep it simply as a visual point of interest the only time I'd care about the designation is if I was in a forest and switched to my best behavior :)

After seeing Theodoros's response, it sounds obvious what's happened - guess that's what happens when an expert chimes in lol

Maybe not for every LW piece - I'm usually a 42, but figured from the measurements Stu gave this could work. Either way, the die has been cast :D And yeah, this is the same one that was on ebay... although just went for a direct transaction instead and save some fees lol The canvas is...

Got the Heavy Canvas/Denim Lined version of the LW J23 today. This thing is a beast in its own right - weighs just as much as some leather jackets I have.

Best of luck, hope it works out Still a great looking jacket + leather after all is said and done

It sounds like he's asking you to "add" a yoke that you see on the backs of a lot of jackets. If you go back upto my previous pic, it's that horizontal seam that runs across my upper back which helps add some curvature. I believe you have the idea. Honestly I think the best approach is...

Do you have any examples or pictures of the ill-fitting sleeves from LW? I've seen some cases of jackets which are clearly the wrong size on somebody... but not those crazy oversized sleeves. I also think the MC patterns are trimmer vs the Work/Civ oriented ones like Ryder, Suburban, etc...

Cut the sleeves off, now you can make some leather pants and a vest... profit :) Yes, the sleeves can seem billowy from certain angles and poses. On the ryder I have, they settle very nicely when looking front on. But from the side, I think the forearm tends to be ok, but excess settles around...

Yeah, based on what you showed that looks like a feature meant especially for riding. Since you mentioned sleeve pitch, is that something straightforward to alter to mitigate it? Or that would impractical/not enough at this point?
