That’s a good point, I’ll just keep wearing it as is for now and reconsider what to replace down the road. But yes the sleeve lining had to go, it was creating excess pressure on my armpits and pulling my sweater sleeves up every time I stretched or bent my arms, now it feels way more...

This one is a keeper but I haven’t replaced any lining yet, it fits me nice and slim in the body but the lining pulls on my clothes and feels restrictive and bulky, the sleeves were very tight and it felt like the lining was bunching up inside. Then the more I was handling it while cleaning it...

Thank you! Once I replace this bulky lining it’s gonna fit perfect, I can already tell, and it’s so comfortable, I love it!

Guidi oiled reverse horse 3/4 length coat, it’s smooth, heavy, leather drapes beautifully and it’s the best fitting leather coat I’ve ever worn.

Good morning. Just wanna say thanks to Jon who was kind enough to offer me this beautiful jacket that I’d been searching for previously without much luck.

It’ll eventually look similar to @navetsea custom natural cross-toggles, idk if he rides with it but he just let it stain and patina naturally.

The sun fades the dye on leathers, natural horsehide gets darker with sun exposure as it develops a tan on its exposed natural skin. Mine started off somewhere between pink and peach then went orange then lightened a bit to yellow and now turning into a light tan color, but later it will turn...

I say go for it, and if it ever gets stained beyond your liking you can always overdye it dark green, dark brown or black. I have one and I ride with it, but my type of riding isn’t really comparable to “normal” riding.

I used to be like that but now I just try to wear them all and even do some alterations on some.

Btw, have you guys ever seen a vanson leather jacket with a “SM” size label, and is it meant to say “SMall” or “Small-Medium”, or what numeric size would that be equal to?

I’ve seen a few of those, I think it could be a collab as well since it looks similar to other minimalist x-zip collabs with back yoke and 2-way front zip like the daredevil collab they did with thurston bros. Or this one.

Here’s a vintage one with a shorter body, different back, all zip pockets and cuffs, plus epaulets. https://www.ebay.com/itm/335791993826?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=D31SIh23TXu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=ezRkR1-rQEW&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Here’s the brown version from schott, looks barely worn and likely cheaper than ebay if you could find the og jp listing, no measurements though...

Jumping on the shacket bandwagon

This one is by far the best fitting cafe racer I’ve ever worn, it’s cw and from a collab back in ‘07.
