I would vote for leaving it as-is. It looks just right, in a vintage style. Like a lot of vintage pieces, our aesthetic has changed. It may look long to you, but it's the right fit. Great jacket as-is.

Love that! Been looking for something like that for years. All I need is room for the laptop. Then again, crowded subways haven't been as big a problem lately.

Thanks. I've seen worse sites... Maybe next time I'm out that way. Enjoy your jacket!

Nice jacket. Who made it?

Leather at the bottom of the lining. I had to get Johnson to add it when the lining got tattered. BTW, I have a Good Wear, four Johnsons, and some vintage. I like the Aero I have and wear it often. I wear the other ones, too. Surprised by all these folks who ordered jackets they didn't like...

Sigh. Not so many in size 50. Not too long ago I visited the Langlitz store in Portland, OR. They keep quite a stock of old jackets. Pretty rare to do that.

Nice. Looked like they have a lot of old/vintage jackets? Do they stock and sell vintage?

Haven't looked at this thread for a while. I have a Johnson that was made for me around 25 years ago. Yes, people ask if it is "vintage", and it is... but also made for me... You can see pictures somewhere around here and I promise more pics soon. When Alan first measured me he counseled that...

I thought we had a place for vintage photos of jackets, but I can't find it. Here's one from a group I'm in on Facebook that just has to be shared here. This is the caption: "Leslie Van Denmark had the distinction of driving the first motorcycle across the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge 1936"

Size 44 Johnson Leathers. $80. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/779734019492997 Not mine. Just saw it...

Thank you! Wow what a business model!

How do you guys hear about new products before they sell out? I follow them on IG, but that does not look like a good way to get the word early.

Great jacket, great fit. Congrats.

Man, if you like the fit jacket, you're going to love the real thing. I have a few Johnsons myself. That looks, for me at least, a touch long in the sleeves (but just a little- 1/4" maybe) and a touch short at the belt line (Ideally I'd cover the belt, but it's a personal style preference)...
