This jacket is two sizes too small Randy. I know the feeling, I’ve been there. This is a seven right? The seven is in the premier range, a collared board racer I believe. I think the best fit for you in this range is a 46”, like the slim fit Riddley you had, which I believe was your best fitting jacket. Sell this one and source some cordo CXL for Dena to lengthen the sleeves on your bootlegger! That jacket also fits you perfectly just needs a bit more sleeve length!

RMC Cooper:
I have the same thoughts as @Monitor here Jake. You have an incongruous look if you ask me as you are wearing a slim fit cross zip jacket with wide leg trousers, and the contrast is too great. In my opinion, slimmer trousers would make a more harmonious outfit.
I love everything on their own though and I'm not trying to say these trousers should never be worn, but maybe just not with a slim fit jacket.

FW Mulholland is becoming a go to jacket because of the fit and exceptional mobility around the shoulders

New jacket came in today. 5 star black deerskin modified trucker. Might as well post this here, testing this jacket out for a quick grocery run in a sunny but windy day. I see myself getting another jacket in this hide.

Thank you! You are correct, it's a black oxidized ykk zippers to be incognito and keep in the all black trucker look. This is the 2nd trucker I ordered from them and I had issues with pockets bulging out especially on the side profile so this time I set that issue straight.
Looks and fit really great, congrats!

This is my 2nd go around trucker order and I finally figured out my best measurements so I've been getting the look/fit I want to get. It's something that's wearable all the time so it will be heavy on my rotation. Thank you.
That getting a lot more color but it's still looking like it can stand on its own. Where do you source the hides that you get your jacket made from?

Buzz Rickson's B-2, size 34.
This model has 30oz wool lining, and the shell is "Seal Brown, Vegetable Tanning Bronco Hide Aniline Finished". Something about this jacket spoke to me when I saw it on ebay, so uh, now I have a new jacket! Fit feels really good, and I do like how warm it is.

Agree. Don’t see that model too much around here. You really own it.

Thanks man! Can't help but feel grateful to wear this really, it's so nice and rugged at the same time. I'll take good care of the jacket and wear it a lot. I'll really work on breaking this in even better.

Hadn't considered the pocket-bulge issue - good solution. Was thinking it was more to prevent losing your phone, pocketknife, or what have you - especially in cars with bucket seats (man I hate those).

Mostly for the pocket bulge especially if you use the hand pockets a lot but the extra added security to not misplace small items such as those helps too. I also had them line the hand pockets with deerskin so it's more rigid compared to fabric material to keep the shape of the hand pockets and to lessen knuckle marks when you place your dirty mits in there

Thanks. 1988 ford e350 7.3L idi. 4x4 conversion done back in 88 by Richardson bro’s in Oregon. 5 speed ZF tranny added to it in 2018. She’s slow but can climb like a champ.

Tuesday morning Harley trip to the RAAF museum in the south of the city. A denim day today , 27C.
This is the "genuine" USA made Harley branded jacket from 2006.
We did not fancy lugging leather jackets around the two display hangers , hence the denim all round show.
All of us were in denim riding jackets for the same reason(s)
These 2 shots are from inside the display hangers , one against a WW2 Lancaster bomber , the other a Vietnam era Huey.
The Huey saw action in Vietnam. One of our riders today is an Aussie Vietnam veteran aged 74
