Sold to me! The jacket looks and fits great, exactly what I expected and hoped for! It's reminding me I need to lose just a few pounds around the waistline. But it was measured accurately and I already love the look! @Momein was great to work with and held off on shipping the jacket until I...

DM sent!

Beautiful! The full-on shots look a little blue because of the warm flooring. Any chance for another shot top down where the jacket takes up the whole pic? Trying to get a better idea of the seal color and the stitching with it!

I'm 5'11", ~170lbs and lifting. Currently shoulders are 17.5" and my arms are 25" to the wrist.. so I *think* this would fit!

Thank you for the quick response! Is it too much to ask that take a few pics with tailors tape? I'm borderline on a few measurements and even a quarter inch would help!

Is this still available?

@Sobe991 You're right, the owner of that shop is super helpful! Unfortunately he's only got the green lining version in stock -- so I'm still on the lookout!

I appreciate your help, thank you. These pictures show the brown lining! I might shoot him a text and ask if that's accurate, as I've seen the newer versions use the olive lining... That said, I'd still prefer to buy used from someone on the forum! Please reach out if you're already thinking of...

I'm strongly considering purchasing this jacket in size 40. Not buying new because I'm nowhere near a seller and I'd like to see pics of the actual jacket before I buy. I'm really hoping to get the version with the brown lining, as opposed to the olive lining. I'm located in the upper midwest...

I'm strongly considering purchasing this jacket in size 42, ideally new or close to it. Not buying new because I'm nowhere near a seller and I'd like to see pics of the actual jacket before I buy. I'm located in the upper midwest US, will use Paypal. Thanks!

Thanks again for all the helpful responses. I think I'm landing on the Y'2 Leather Single Riders KR-42 in size 42. Size-wise, I like that it's a little bigger for layering. I won't be buying new because some of the stitching I've seen from Y'2 is far from perfect and they don't guarantee...

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but can I ask why you think the 42 size would fit me better than the 40? The 40 is measured with an 18" shoulder and a 25.5" sleeve. That seems closer to my measurements than the 42", which adds another .75" on the shoulder and .25" on the sleeve. I'm only...

Thanks for the warm welcome and all the great responses. You guys are incredibly knowledgeable! > Welcome to TFL! TS moto is not natural veg tan. This was hilarious to me. And of course thank you for the correction. I'm still learning! Regarding zip sleeves, I think they look too moto for...

Hey everyone! I stumbled upon this space when starting my search for a new leather jacket. I've worn a bulkier brown department store jacket for the past 15 years, and it's held up OK with admittedly minimal care, but I wanted to see what else is out there. After a few months of lurking, I...
