But what if they came in suede…?

https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/favorite-cafe-racer.114100/ What are the fit implications of a straight yoke, like this one on @MrProper ‘s Aero J-100? It seems like a curved one is more anatomical, and a straight seem would the limit the flex a single piece of leather would have.

You got one? Awesome! Every time I see a jacket I’d like, it ends up in your collection!

Did you end up keeping either of the Schotts?

Butterscotch has a custom Addict jacket without epaulets. Honestly, it’s not my favorite jacket. I like picking one style or the other, but I suppose it’s unusual, which is the appeal. Addict Clothes x ButterScotch - TRI Jacket

My first thought is: It’s your jacket. Do whatever you want. But personally, I HATE the look. I can’t stand the Fine Creek Leon Custom, which comes pre-cut. It looks mangled, and like a hack did it.

Cool jacket, but that’s a really short back!

I’ve always assumed the “double” and “single” referred to double breasted and single breasted, like suits. And yes, because they’re motorcycle “riders” jackets, that made sense, too. But now you have me wondering!

I didn’t realize Red Wing was still making them. Can anyone confirm?

I think shoulders and sleeve length are perfect. Sizing up will ruin that. It depends on what jeans/pants you’ll be wearing with it. With the ones you have on, I agree with @MrProper adding a little bit more length in the front. I personally would want just a touch more width in the abdomen, but...

The sleeve girth (?) looks good, but as we all know, looking good and being comfortable are two different things. I’m still mourning the loss of that Aero you had a while back that looked perfect but you said was uncomfortable. I think sleeve length is one of the most subjective details. Per...

One of these has been on my wish list for a while! Schotts tend to run large, and I think I’m more of a medium. The ptp is wide, but the sleeves and back length look perfect for me

These are great jackets! I’m sure the guys will want to know the exact measurements if you have a tape handy.

Two things you’ll find here: 1) Fit is very subjective. 2) Your own opinion will change over time. If you like it, wear it and enjoy it! My own experience has been, however, that if I don’t love it immediately, I’ll never pull it out of the closet. So if you have any hesitations, I’d say...

What are other jackets similar to the FreeWheelers 37J1? I’m digging the more streamlined collar.
