What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

I have been wearing this new Peter's all week on the bike.
I find the front drop a bit long, it creates a bit of pouching in the front when sitting down and a bit of hourglassing in the front.
Saying that i think that once it is fully broken in it will be very comfortable, the shoulders and back feel great on the bike, great forward reach and no binding anywhere.

No regrets going for LW after being dropped by Field Leathers...

Amazing fit as always, you and Stu have it nailed down. I agree that the front might be a bit longer.

It's also an issue I have with my FW Sunset., the back is perfect but the front drop is too long which when sitting down or getting on my vespa is a nuissance.

Sometimes it feels as if people do not actually live in their jackets when asking for such long front drops or never zip them up.

The original has a serious front drop too:

I assume an original would have been proportionally shorter back then and the drop would have been less of a problem.
On this one we went with my usual 25" back and that gives a slightly too long front.
On the other hand, had we gone for a 24" back it would have been perfect at the front, but would not have covered my belt when sitting down.
Sometimes you have to compromise...

Always a good choice when I really don’t know what to wear. LW Ryder.

Yes, sleeves could be an inch longer and also the torso. I simply didn’t want to go custom (and pay the upcharge), and the jacket is such a pleasure to wear that I don’t much care.

Textbook example of “uneven grain” too, and I really like it that way.

When you have an opportunity, I'd love to see this fastened up to the collar. Very rare and cool!

This is looking great! It make a very good daiily wearer as far as I can see

Awesome jacket, congrats. Are those the mother of pearl buttons? They look nice.



My gripe with the FL Peter's are the square shoulders (as on almost all of his jackets).

View attachment 457511

Agreed the shoulders looks way too pointy. I do not know if I will ever get a FL jacket that will fit me.
