    Neck pain?

    just from pictures alone, typically their jackets has smaller neck hole for its size, and have a normal joe relatively flat undeveloped trapezius muscle, I often see a perfectly fit board/ cafe racer here but the band collar really bite into the wearer's neck and probably can't be snapped close...

    So I stretched the shoulders of a cotton Tshirt by 1" - Implications?

    i think the stretch is permanent, if the fibers is all cotton, but i think you have to go through several shrinkage and stretch over several washes to stabilize it, i think wearing it from wet to dry is a better method, I successfully permanently stretch a 21oz jeans that hurts like hell on the...

    is monkeypants in style lately?

    I remember my first long pants was actually a fatigue denim pants, because it has patch pocket and not a 5 pocket jeans, but I just didn't know the name since it was in 86 or something and I was in elementary school, my first cargo pants probably from 88 and I kept wearing them as I outgrew them...

    is monkeypants in style lately?

    I dont think a jacket would fit in it, looking at it I think even a denim jacket won't fit, a folded raincoat indeed might fit, or shopping totebag, perhaps a spare tshirt, or towel if you do light hiking perhaps and need a spare tshirt, drinking bottle might fit too, but the thing is it located...

    is monkeypants in style lately?

    perhaps the idea is never to open the buttons on the front pocket but just access the pocket from the space inbetween the 2 buttons, if the flap is unbuttoned I bet the whole pocket will spill out whenever you squat or sit on a car seat for example, the rear pocket I imagine I only will open the...

    is monkeypants in style lately?

    it gains popularity lately after fatigue pants and painter pants, this one share its time in the sun, every repro maker has their version, some made in herringbone, some in other fabrics, some with metal buttons some with standard plastic buttons, some a bit baggier, some has normal leg, some...

    Not a Vanson Model B after all!

    I see it has more slanted collar band, funnel shaped collar band, usually model B has standing straight up collar band, I think this one looks closer to a racing jacket

    is monkeypants in style lately?

    I did some comparing... and they are not all created equal in term of rear unipocket thing... similar to jeans like some jeans have the pocket low and some have the pocket high like wrangler, in uni pocket case some looks like the leg movements split the pocket and look like a real catasthropy...

    is monkeypants in style lately?

    I see them often lately, and I'm considering, how do you think of the rear pocket?

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    the chest pockets are too high and the collar construction seems off, I don't care about the **** part because the jacket doesn't even appeal to my eyes

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I think the recipe is to cinch the waist band cord to a close fit and the hem cord just a little bit, and then the rest of the jacket will drape or forced to drape and also I fully utilize the pockets the chest pockets to carry stuff and the lower pockets to rest my hands while walking

    Why did you sell your nearly new aero leather jacket(s)?

    waxed canvas jacket is not for everyone, now imagine waxed leather jacket, to me cxl is wallet or bag material and not jacket material, I think jacket materials should be dry leather that breathes unless of course you want it as "rain coat" just like its waxed canvas cousin. Perhaps their...
