    Gotta stop buying jackets....

    One thing about playing out - I'm likely to buy garments that I normally would not, just for gigging....here's Halloween: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v499/spike42/Jacket/DSC02830_zps63aaf699.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v499/spike42/Jacket/DSC02828_zpsdc8dbe4e.jpg Bassface...

    Gotta stop buying jackets....

    Hey Worf, you got great taste in jackets *and* basses - here's what I do when not dithering over what to wear: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v499/spike42/Jacket/IMG_5723_zps29e70b3b.jpg I had a similar Alembic in my distant past, love the piano tone I got from it!

    Nice jacket, cute kid, and a really cool hat! Thanks for posting. Also, on another site, my tagline has always been: "Every Day Is Man vs Food"

    Affordable used brands to look for?

    Is it OK to mention brands to perhaps avoid? I'd bought and sold stuff on ebay for a long time, but I sure had a lot to learn when I decided that I wanted a few leather jackets. And while I'd love an Aero, my financial situation dictates that I must content myself with other brands. I had to...

    "Do the tighten up" (how to shrink leather jackets to fit better?)

    Hopefully this will be an amusing story - when I first started wanting another "bomber jacket" [sic], I bought an LL Bean on ebay, because it was size XLT. I hadn't yet learned that you can't go by the label, etc. The main thing I was concerned about was overall length, because I have a long...

    New Good Wear "Californian" Ventura

    Thank you for posting measurements. I really like the way the sleeves sit in the pictures you posted - some may feel that's too much length, but I've spent far too long wearing jackets with sleeves halfway up my elbow; when I order custom, I will want the look you have in that image.

    New Good Wear "Californian" Ventura

    I'm always interested in postings from ButteMT61, being that I have similar proportions. That is an excellent jacket, exactly what I hope to obtain in the future. And I would have sent that jacket back as well. I feel that it looks just a bit short, with jeans, plus also having a long torso I...

    New fake Bomber

    Hey, I'm in MA as well (North Central to be exact). Sure been cold enough lately! Nice snag for $90 on the Wilson, and you even get to try it on prior to purchase (unlike my ebay attempts at trying to find something that fits). Lookin' good!

    New A-1 jacket from Original Flightjackets, horsehide, crafted in Germany, PICS

    Wow, thanks for sharing. I too would love to have something that fits less like a pumpkin! Looking at the currency conversion rates kinda took my breath away, however! Awesome jacket in any event.

    I finally got my Crown Jewel In my Collection!

    You guys that can wear those things, are quite vexing to those of us who cannot! Awesome jacket, congrats. I haunt ebay in the hopes that some day a cop jacket will come along that would fit, but so far no such luck. Ah well, the search is part of the game, no? :}

    Too Old for a Short Leather Jacket?

    Mind if I add my thoughts? I've never really worn coats because, as someone already noted, I never liked sitting on them in the car. I love jackets, but it's always been a struggle given my build. When I used to ride, I had one Vanson cafe type, plus the ubiquitous HD "biker" style (bought at...

    Leather Jackets on Ebay is Like Heroin

    Yeah, and all this size-vs-label gets even more interesting when you need an extra size. I note that some manufacturers will have "Long" and also "Tall" designations, for the same model. What's up with that? Then when comparing specs for individual specimens, I find some talls are longer than...

    WTS Brown Leather Vintage Long Halfbelt

    Man, got a sleeve-stretcher? :-) Other than being about 2" short in that department, this would fit me perfect....argh.

    Leather Jackets on Ebay is Like Heroin

    I tend to look at ebay more as a casino - one where all the machines are rigged to never pay out, and all the cards are marked in favor of the house :} Between the dim photos and/or missing or inaccurate descriptions (including measurements), I'm tired of losing money on return shipping. I'm...
