Yeah man. That one looked FANTASTIC was just unfortunately a little too tight.

I have been considering a non Premier HWM or a LW Suburban on and off for a while now. Pretty sure I’ll end up going for one eventually…
You should hold on to the Ike until long after you have put on the HWM a few times. Looks are subjective and debatable but in no scenario ever is a HWM gonna beat the Ike in comfort. Too small neck hole, jacket rests on your neck rather than your shoulders. You should look at the Enfield imho.

I actually had a Royale Enfield but it was too slim/long for my build, so the standard Enfield would be a better choice. Many jackets kinda fill this spot, Schott 689 also comes to mind.

I had two regular HWYMan and now just one. And I am planning on "upgrading" that to the Premier HWYMan. Haha. It's the sleeves on the regular HWYMan that doesn't do it for me. There is some curve to it and the inside keeps getting shorter due to the way it creases, and I bought mine stock and they came without storm cuffs so nothing is holding the open sleeves by the wrist.
Didn't you have a Premier HwayMan?
I like your Vanson Ike. I almost went for one myself but the new versions are a bit long at 26" I think.

Here's my rare reddish tan HH Enfield. It's a real attention grabber! Don't be shy if you're going to wear this one out.

It's actually so nice that I tend not to wear it much. ;)

Good to see you again!
thanks, after I lost my old phone, I felt weirded by the fact it had thousands of my own pics in it standing at the same spot with different jackets everyday for the past 6 7 yrs, if someone would crack my login gesture password it would be hilarious to see his reaction, but I also lost past evolution of my jackets although I can recover them by resaving my posts here.

Maybe you can ask a Bartender to somehow batch upload all your pics to your i-cloud account. I am not sure if the site functionality allows for an easy mass retrieval by admin or it has to be done post by post, like you would do.

Brushed cotton cossack, i usually wear the collar popped but after sometime the back part of the collar weakened and it sagged into this position and there it stays still look cooler than neatly folded down as shawl lapel. Sorry about the rising sun patch it means nothing personally as our country was also occupied by j imperial army and we still love anime and gundam all the same.

The Rising Sun flag is the Japanese Naval ensign (flag) and it is still used by their Navy ships today! Japan are allied now with the U.S. (and many other nations) and they fly that Rising Sun flag from their ships while in port and at sea. Ironic when their ships visit Pearl Harbor!

No worries, you also wear a stormtrooper patch although The Force is strong within you…
