My neighbor used to a good job on the skins. A whole bunch of fun chasing hounds through the woods at night with a flashlight and a 22. Not so much fun when one gets hung up on a branch and you have to climb the tree to get it. Very popular in the 1920's and 1930's. Also early 1970's. I didn't...

Yes! Quick dispatch with a rifle round. And don't forget to make beautiful jackets and leather goods from the hide. The racoon is also a disease spreader. Rabies and distemper. Unfortunately demand for racoon coats and hats has declined well below the supply. However they are also tasty.

Notice the open field behind this guy. And in front. No crawling through thickets. No danger of jacket damage. These hunts use a pack of dogs to surround and bite the animal. The hunters catch up on 4 wheelers. Get out and stab the critter attempting to hide in a ditch between 2 fields.

The description markets this as a "party" jacket. Not motorcycle riding apparel. At first glance I would imagine it was an intentional homage to women survivers of breast cancer. Perhaps a family member. However the description leads in the opposite direction...

3 more pictures to pin down jacket length. Should I add 1/2"?

I was thinking the same thing. Thanks.

One more question. Thinking of having tis made in cognac pinnacle HH. Green cotton lining and OD thread. Should I get snaps for a clean look or the trucker buttons?

This 18" shoulder with 25.5 sleeves and quilted body is better for riding. However the body is a bit spacious.... And the leather gives off a whole bunch of toxic aroma.

This jacket has 18" shoulder. Something weird with the test jacket is 16" black is 17". Maybe 17 is a good happy medium. I agree lengthening the jacket would pop my head off while riding. And may do wonky things with the helmet.

Thanks for the help. I have no fashion sense. Does the length look OK with the puffy?

a few more with a puffy vest. Body feels right. Just need a bit more shoulder and sleeves. Maybe 1 inch longer.

Breitling windrider wings automatic. Small woman's watch. Model B10350. Bought for instrument approaches. I'm an instrument rated commercial pilot. Fly for fun not hire. It's taken a beating over the years!

It feels like I need one inch more in the shoulder and one less in the chest. Same belt width and at least one inch longer for sitting on the bike.

The fit jacket is from thurston bros. Not sure what size it is. No tag.

Try to post a few more pictures of the
