    D BAR J Custom Bespoke 20x Beaver Fedora (59cm and 2 3/4" brim) - Dallas TX

    I had decided to keep this and use as a brim down front / back (outback vibe) hat, but ended up buying a 500x American Hat Co that I am pretty enamoured with. Will try bumping to see if anyone is interested in picking this up, as it deserves more wear than I have been giving it.

    D BAR J Custom Bespoke 20x Beaver Fedora (59cm and 2 3/4" brim) - Dallas TX

    Wonderful finish..very subtle silk, beaver finish, very old timey vintage looking, wide binding, and relatively large 2 ¾ brim. Very high-quality build, cool satin lined. Hat is in excellent condition, this build is very nicely done, leather, lining, the binding, everything is clean. This...

    THE VALENCIA BY ROCHÉ 100% BEAVER / MINK (JJ Hat Center) - Size 59 (Dallas TX)

    I ended up gifting this hat to my sister, so no longer available. Nice to buy a new hat, but even better to see the joy on someone's face who has just received their first high end hat. Happy holidays.

    FS: Y'2 Single Riders Horsehide size 44 (fits 42)

    Thanks for the feedback. I agree, and would add that another feature that probably makes this less than the ideal riding jacket is the extra length at 25" from the base of the collar to bottom. I have a Aero Zip Sleeve Highwayman that has about 1.25" extra on the sleeves and 1.5" less on the...

    Thanks! The wife likes it, so I told Revkev I am keeping this one.

    FS: Y'2 Single Riders Horsehide size 44 (fits 42)

    Revkev was patient with my questions on sizing with this "uniquely proportioned" piece and very kind to offer to sell to me with a return option. Anyone willing to provide feedback on whether my body is out of proportion enough for this to work?

    Aero Highwayman Custom; size 40

    Thanks - The measurements on this one are pretty similar to a Zip Sleeve Highwayman I have also in size 40 other than the fact that you jacket is approx 1" shorter. I like the short boxy fit of the jacket I have, so this is one to think about; need to consider whether the length would work...

    Aero Highwayman Custom; size 40

    Thanks - this is helpful. Are you able to provide a pic of the width of the bottom hem and comment on whether there is anything custom specified there (wider or narrower than stock) just given the amount of customization of other aspects of the jacket?

    Aero Highwayman Custom; size 40

    Nice jacket. I am used to the typical size 40 jackets measuring in the 18" - 19" range shoulder to shoulder. Is this narrower in the shoulders than the typical size 40, or is this an illusion from those pictures showing the inside of the shoulder gussets? Maybe asked another way, would the...

    Addict clothes suede type iii

    Thanks a lot for the kind feedback. This is case where I won't let the search for perfect fit be the enemy of the good, and the jacket will be a long-term keeper. Thanks again Bfd70!

    Addict clothes suede type iii

    I had a great transaction with Bfd70 and am really happy with the quality and fit of the jacket. Here are some pics that the experts here can weigh in on. I knew going in that the arms would be a bit longer than ideal, but does not look too bad to me with this cut and style.

    Vanson Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 42- Chocolate Suede

    The jacket arrived today with some minor delays in US / Canada customs; Incandenza was great to deal with in the transaction. I am really happy with the fit, color, and build quality, and expect this will be a long-term keeper that I use frequently. Perhaps a bit more generous fitting than I...

    Japan and love for Americana even after WWII

    Ametora is a book that covers your question in detail and was a good read.

    Vanson Vintage Motorcycle Jacket 42- Chocolate Suede

    I purchased the jacket from Vance. For my size and the body type, the shorter cut on the length and arms was a main selling point; will report back on the fit (with pics) when I receive.

    Aero Suede Trucker/ Rancher Jacket Sz. US38/40

    I ended up buying this jacket from John. He is a great seller; quick communication, safe packaging, fast shipping, and the jacket arrived in even nicer condition than I was expecting. I am new to the jacket game; first two tries were not 100% great in terms of fit or how the style ended up...
