Honestly, with 2025 logic, I feel like most of us would be inclined to reline anyway. Continue building history with the same garment, exciting option to customize and make it our own, less wasteful, etc

I had the lambskin delivery jacket for a while and really liked it. I should have kept it, but I lost 40 pounds. The raven lambskin perfecto was noticably heavier lambskin, still wholly supple. If I could pull off the moto style it would be my perfect jacket.

Update from about a year later: I sent about 60 or 70 emails back and forth with Carrie at Thurston Bros. Together, we created a gorgeous jacket. I went with the Oxford. I removed the waist cinches, added collar snaps, lengthened the sleeves and torso, and selected nickel hardware. I legit...

Considering a bainbridge vanson right now (receiving fit jacket soon) and wow, that hide looks incredible. Great jacket, great fit. Seems to be the exact color I'm after, too!

Received the Enfield in a size 40. Sleeve length is much better. Chest seems now too big slightly? Torso is definitely too short—seems shorter than the Royale. Having pondered things over the past few weeks, I think I want a brown jacket anyway, so TB it is. Any recommendations for a good...

That's what I was thinking. It's worth getting since I wouldn't really need another jacket past that. So easy to, say, pack into a day bag for a short trip up north. Can't wait to see how it fits once it gets here. Will update with more fit pics when it comes in.

Well, I ordered the regular Enfield. I took another look and the sleeves are an inch longer than the Royale. If it fits close enough to right, I might just keep it as is and not even return it to re-order one with the side-cinch delete. Brass isn't that big a deal once it tarnishes and neither...

I'm thinking about a 42 based on torso tightness (or preference for a relaxed fit? who can say). Would also need the sleeves lengthened from a 42. That is a tempting option for sure. I prefer chrome over brass for the hardware, however, and from what I can tell based on the pictures, it does...

Hi all, First time long time. I used to have a Schott P693. I loved that jacket, but as I live in Phoenix, I had about 3 days a year it was realistic to wear it thanks to the wool lining. Moved it on and got a Schott 246 instead—much more comfy with its cotton liner, and lambskin to boot. It...
