    Ladies Perfecto style jackets? Anyone?

    I've spent today going through my jackets. I've put up a bunch on eBay in an attempt to minimise the collection so I can save up for something special. I have far too many and none are "perfect". I like this one I picked up in the States but the back sleeve panels bother me. The hide on the...

    Ladies Perfecto style jackets? Anyone?

    I've just been quoted £100 by a local leather garment repairman here in London. He seems to have a bunch of really great reviews and also makes custom leather jackets. We'll see... Perhaps I'll visit his store once the apocalypse is over.

    Side note: How wonderful is this?! I've found people as crazy about leather jackets as I am! I'm in my element. Haha.

    I've been acquainted with Mr Himel and from what I've gathered so far, he's a really lovely guy. Super helpful. Adore Himel jackets and I've heard so many great things but I'll definitely have to acquire a few more 0's on my bank statement before I can splurge on one of those bad boys.

    That Langlitz is lovely but it'll be too large in the chest area - boo!

    What about if the belt was removed entirely?

    It just doesn't fall in the right place. Far too long at the back. It sort of goes over my butt.

    Ladies Perfecto style jackets? Anyone?

    Rivetts are great. I think I've spotted a few on a stall in Brick Lane Market in London. They didn't have my size but I remember being impressed by the quality. I already have a vintage "lightening" style jacket that set me back (I kid you not - 30 quid) and it's the most beautiful jacket I own...

    Ladies Perfecto style jackets? Anyone?

    Owned one of those too! Grabbed one in a 34" - alas, again too bulky up top. I looked like an American football player. The leather was so nice though that I was half tempted to reline it with thinner fabric and have it taken in around the chest but figured it was far too much work. Perhaps a...

    Ladies Perfecto style jackets? Anyone?

    Thank you all for your replies and recommendations. I'm about to set up some search alerts on ebay as suggested. I've found that the best fitting jackets for me all have a ptp width of around 17". XS/32-34" ladies jackets are sure hard to come by but I shan't lose hope! Going to keep searching...

    Ladies Perfecto style jackets? Anyone?

    I bought a Berman's a few months back for about $40 but when it arrived it was just too bulky up top so I had to resell. Agree though - quality was pretty decent. Might have to sell a kidney on the black market and buy myself a Lewis Leathers Memphis. Drool. Aero have a pretty nice ladies jacket...

    Sad... So sad. I tried on the Schott 218w in their NYC store. Great fit but again - lambskin. Grr.

    Ladies Perfecto style jackets? Anyone?

    Hello all, Hope everyone is keeping safe and well. I am after some advice. I'm a 27 year old woman with a serious obsession for leather jackets. I love all the biggies - Aero, Lewis Leathers, Vanson, Langlitz and so on. Here's my issue - I cannot afford one and when I find any second...
