Jeo, those jackets are outstanding, I love 'em. Fantastic when people just own the look - it's their jacket and not one they're gonna sell, they wear it like that because it makes them happy. Fantastic, thank you for sharing. Chris

Hi Everyone, Hope Saturday's taking it easy on you all. I'd love everyone's thoughts on this look - I dig it when people personalize their jackets with patches, pins, illustrations, or other things that are meaningful to them or appeal to them on a design level. The guys in these photos are...

Good considerations, thank you. Looking at the Desolation Row website I need a size 40, or even a 42 to get the correct P2P, but then that puts the shoulders wider than I want. Sigh. It's a bit tricky.

Thank you Blackadder, you’re absolutely right, I just needed someone to say it. I think this style is really cool and I’ve found two preowned pieces at decent prices and both are 36 - I was trying to convince myself they’d fit. That somehow I could shoehorn myself into a jacket with a 46cm P2P...

Hi Everyone, Hope you're all well and looking forward to a terrific weekend - been a helluva week in Toronto, looking forward to two days off. I've got a question for the group concerning the Freewheelers Bootleggers 3rd Stone jacket(s). If anyone has thoughts on how they fit I'd love to hear...

Thank you TartuWolf, I appreciate the thought - I've actually been poking around a bit on Buyee.jp at Mercari and Yahoo Auctions. I prefer Mercari as I find the auctions a bit frustrating. I bid on a C2 via Yahoo Japan just the other day only to immediately be informed I'd been outbid - I went...

Hi Everyone, Hope you're all well and looking forward to a terrific weekend. I live in Toronto and the weather today is glorious, wow - hope you're all being treated to something equally as nice. As the heading says, I'm semi-desperate to purchase a Vanson C2 in size 36 - ideally a 1980s or...

Hi Everyone, Hope you're all well and looking at a good week. If anyone has any vintage Bates Leathers jackets in Men's sizes 32, 34, or 36, I'd appreciate you letting me know. I'm in the market and would love to hear from you. I'm partial to colourful leathers but I'm open to anything really...

Thank you CatsCan, very nice of you - will do another search and let you know. Meantime, hope you enjoy the weekend, speak soon. CG

Hi Everyone, Hope the week is off to a good start for you all. I'm on the hunt for a vintage Vanson Double Rider in sz 36, hoping someone here has a line on one. They're plentiful on yahoo Japan but thought if I could find it located domestically in North America it might be an easier...

Thank you Will, very kind of you.

Hi Everyone, hope you're all happy and well and that the weekend took it easy on you all. Happy 4th of July to anyone in the States, and thank you for your service if you were in the military. I live in Canada and have found a jacket on a German auction site that I'd like to inquire about and...

Thank you Older, the jacket is next level and you were absolutely lovely to deal with. I'd like it know to the forum that Older went out of his way to answer all of my many questions and ran around looking for the best shipping options. He also produced a video and additional photos of the...

That's really good to know, thank you. Those elbow patches have really thrown me, not gonna lie. I'm guessing they're stock but I just can't see Lewis Leathers putting out something that looks like that even way back then and even with the inside tag

Thank you Edward, that's good information, I'll start looking more at Wolf and TT Leathers as alternatives to Lewis. Good to know. Enjoy the evening. Chris
