One thing about playing out - I'm likely to buy garments that I normally would not, just for gigging....here's Halloween: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v499/spike42/Jacket/DSC02830_zps63aaf699.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v499/spike42/Jacket/DSC02828_zpsdc8dbe4e.jpg Bassface...

Hey Worf, you got great taste in jackets *and* basses - here's what I do when not dithering over what to wear: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v499/spike42/Jacket/IMG_5723_zps29e70b3b.jpg I had a similar Alembic in my distant past, love the piano tone I got from it!

Nice jacket, cute kid, and a really cool hat! Thanks for posting. Also, on another site, my tagline has always been: "Every Day Is Man vs Food"

Is it OK to mention brands to perhaps avoid? I'd bought and sold stuff on ebay for a long time, but I sure had a lot to learn when I decided that I wanted a few leather jackets. And while I'd love an Aero, my financial situation dictates that I must content myself with other brands. I had to...

Hopefully this will be an amusing story - when I first started wanting another "bomber jacket" [sic], I bought an LL Bean on ebay, because it was size XLT. I hadn't yet learned that you can't go by the label, etc. The main thing I was concerned about was overall length, because I have a long...

Thank you for posting measurements. I really like the way the sleeves sit in the pictures you posted - some may feel that's too much length, but I've spent far too long wearing jackets with sleeves halfway up my elbow; when I order custom, I will want the look you have in that image.

I'm always interested in postings from ButteMT61, being that I have similar proportions. That is an excellent jacket, exactly what I hope to obtain in the future. And I would have sent that jacket back as well. I feel that it looks just a bit short, with jeans, plus also having a long torso I...

Sent you a message on the 'bay, thanks.

Hey, I'm in MA as well (North Central to be exact). Sure been cold enough lately! Nice snag for $90 on the Wilson, and you even get to try it on prior to purchase (unlike my ebay attempts at trying to find something that fits). Lookin' good!

Wow, thanks for sharing. I too would love to have something that fits less like a pumpkin! Looking at the currency conversion rates kinda took my breath away, however! Awesome jacket in any event.

Awesome jacket and fit...that big grin says it all!! Congrats!!

You guys that can wear those things, are quite vexing to those of us who cannot! Awesome jacket, congrats. I haunt ebay in the hopes that some day a cop jacket will come along that would fit, but so far no such luck. Ah well, the search is part of the game, no? :}

I think it looks great! I'm a definite fan of the HWM!

Mind if I add my thoughts? I've never really worn coats because, as someone already noted, I never liked sitting on them in the car. I love jackets, but it's always been a struggle given my build. When I used to ride, I had one Vanson cafe type, plus the ubiquitous HD "biker" style (bought at...

Yeah, and all this size-vs-label gets even more interesting when you need an extra size. I note that some manufacturers will have "Long" and also "Tall" designations, for the same model. What's up with that? Then when comparing specs for individual specimens, I find some talls are longer than...
