Here are a few more photos : And a few photos John took just before he sent me the jacket

Thank you very much Bfd70. The time between ordering and delivery of the jacket was rather long: a little over two years. But sincerely worth it. I loved discussing the options with John, the choice of skin, the choice of contract... it was a really pleasant experience. In fact, I placed an...

Thank you very much Brandrea33. If I can ask, which jacket did you order from John ? :)

Good Wear Leather B-6 Arnoff

Hello to all. A few days ago I received a wonderful B-6 from Good Wear. John Chapman did a fantastic job... I couldn't have hoped for better. :) Here are some pictures :

I will trust your advice and not send the jacket. Definitely too dangerous. I will make a lot of detailed pictures, with all the possible measurements and I think to draw a pattern in real size of the different elements of the jacket, maybe with the help of paper that I will cut following the...

Oh yes, it's probably a great alternative. I should even be able to draw a full size pattern of the different elements of the jacket, that I can send to Fivestars.

Haha I had almost convinced myself that statistically it was very unlikely that there was a problem... but your message makes me doubt even more. :D

Thanks dudewuttheheck I've been looking for one for a long, long time... And then I was very lucky. I went to a militaria auction site that I rarely visit, and I found this lot, the auction was ending in 2 hours. I bid, and I won ! And the price didn't go too high This jacket is globally a bit...

Thank you, You can't see it on the pictures, but the sleeves are too short.

Thank you ! These are already high waisted pants... but I think I need suspenders. I just looked at the thread you linked. It's very interesting, Rabbit masters perfectly the matching of clothes with this type of jacket.

It is with great pleasure that I present you my very first original cyclist jacket. It is in good condition for its age (about 80 years). The leather is very nice and soft. We can see the trace of some minor repairs... but overall it is a solid jacket. The zippers are from "Eclair" brand as...

What are that jeans in the second photo ? It looks great.

No problem, it's not too short. You just have to wear it with high waist pants (as it was the norm at the time) It's a nice jacket ! I have the same "problem" with one of my cyclist jackets (Hartmann), but finally it's one of the particularity of these jackets that is just really cool.
