    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 :)

    Custom Thedi Buffalo Cafe Racer - fit advice needed

    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.

    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...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    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?

    I think it looks fine overall. This style definitely has minimal taper, so not surprised to hear you might find it roomy in the body if you're not used to that style. You'll probably find it to grow on you as a simple everyday jacket you throw on when you need to head out and get stuff done.

    Gotcha… the pics on his website did not give that vibe at all. He and the other model (presumably one of this employees) look like they’re in a fashion shoot. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to insult his jackets or brand - they usually look impressive when people post them here. Just don’t...

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    I got that. Was talking about the hat specifically... "My Dharma is the Road" - that show was so quotable.

    Even without the hat, it's just hard to take Michael Cera that seriously... maybe he's trying an edgy look for his banana stand James was always cool

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Everything good? If you're talking about the CHP above, their IG very clearly states it's steerhide... no idea why you got into a rant about them pulling a bait and switch...

    Hi new here. Is wearing a leather jacket basically an invitation for trouble?

    That's exactly what happened when I showed up to work with it... There's a lady who sits a couple of desks from me that showed up with a cross-zip and leather pants (on separate occasions though)... no questions asked lol
