No. But I do know, within seconds, if I’ll wear a jacket or not.

Hey ton, I have got to say in my opinion it is a nice jacket, however I am not sure that you are sold on it. From the little I know of you it appears that you prefer a slimmer closer fit and longer in the sleeve. I am not certain that this is the one for you. Then again over the years I have owned jackets that I have not been sold on immediately but have turned out for some inexplicable reason to be go to jacket. Others I have loved initially but end up being left on the rack so to speak. Leather jacket in my mind are not an exact science. Good luck whatever you decide.

On the fence with this Lost Worlds suburban. First I should say thanks to @John D Maccarter for a great deal and lightning fast shipping. It’s certainly an incredible piece of leather. As for the fit I think it’s pretty good. Maybe a touch too relaxed for my taste (back shot is unzipped) and the sleeve length is borderline too short per my preference. I know it’s a boxy pattern....Thoughts? I’m thinking it’s probably time to recoup my small investment here and apply toward a premier HWM. Debating. Help me decide.

ton312, to be honest, I don't recognize you here

@ton312 It looks big when open, but pretty much perfect when zipped up. Keep it imho. I agree with others that your Aero Premier HWM may not go the way you think it is. Very narrow shoulders and sleeves.. you'll want this Suburban with the broad shoulders back the second you put on the HWM.

Denim? i vaguely remember that word, isn't it a brand of danish butter cookies?

Beautiful jacket and a perfect fit as usual, great score.
Looking forward to how your upcoming custom Premier HWM turns out.

Don’t the USA and UK/Australia place the zippers on opposite sides to each other?

I assumed Brooks didn’t make jackets for the U.K./Australian market.

Yes they do and I own a couple UK jackets that seem “backwards” to me. I do not worry about someone confusing me for wearing a woman’s jacket. Rather, it always takes me a minute to get the zipper started since I have been doing it the other way all my life.

On another note, wearing Black ELMC Californian today....and a familiar box has been delivered!

Definitely have that “excited yet reluctant to open it” feeling ..... really hope the colour is what I’m after....fingers crossed!

I know the feeling of hesitating to open the box. The last jacket that arrived I just stared at the box on the floor for a good hour and a half before I could muster up the courage to open it. Disappointment is a bitch but it worked out.

I hope yours works out for you.

@technovox , biker jacket on a bike? Is that even allowed? Really cool photo!

@navetsea , it's kinda h̶a̶r̶d̶ impossible to get back to leather after denim, isn't it. Luckily, both look as good.

@Gamma68 , gotta admit I rarely see a Cascade fit as good as this. They're kinda horrible fitting, actually. This one isn't.

Um... This?

Would go well with this hoodie.

Trenchfriend doesn't bother to post jacket photos so we may never know.

I think it’s really the US vs the rest of the world in terms of zipper placement.
