    Athletic sweatshirt?

    If we’re going to go best ever …and throw price out the window, I’ll say it’s Wonder Looper IMO. I picked up one of their 701 GSM crew necks last month and LOVE it. If you want a heavy knit, French Terry, this is it. I would’ve bought their hoodie, but I’m waiting for the zip version. EDIT...

    The most ridiculous Himel yet? Freenote Collab Beck.

    Thanks for clarifying the term bespoke, if you re-read my post I believe we are in agreement. Does anyone make a truly bespoke leather jacket, where the pattern is created for the specific wearer? I believe I saw a woman on YT a while back, in Nashville I think it was. Her jackets were in the...

    The most ridiculous Himel yet? Freenote Collab Beck.

    I met with David in person and he measured me for an Imperia Jacket. I can’t say for sure how the measurements he took were translated into the pattern but I assume it was tweaked to suit my specific body type. Perhaps not bespoke in the manner you’re referring to, but I don’t know that...

    Would you consider this a good fit ?

    Personally I like the fit. The sleeves maybe look a bit wide through the forearm to my eye, but other than that, I think it looks great.

    So it begs the question … why these measurements? Love him or hate him, David Himel knows as much or more about making leather jackets than anyone here, (I say with respect) and is known for making jackets that fit very well through his bespoke pattern process.

    Sale/Swap: Aero Premier Highwayman Vicenza HH

    Welcome Moe. Fit is a very subjective rabbit hole lol. Plese take some pictures with your shirt tucked in, that would be helpful IMO. Based on what I’m seeing it’s a good 2” too short for my liking. I like a jacket hit just below my belt line and about a finger or two above my back pockets...

    About all I can say, is that I wouldn’t want to be a leather jacket maker... it’s a tough crowd to please lol

    Leather jackets with action back/gussets sizing?

    That would be my preference as well.

    Freewheelers Mulholland Size 44 4000AUD

    Thank you. The sleeves will be too short for me. I’m sure it‘ll be perfect for someone else. GLWS

    I will / am … you’re right their sleeves look to be quite long. I may have to have them shortened lol.

    Out of curiosity, how does a jacket jacket alter a sleeve to be longer? Is it a whole new sleeve (from shoulder to end of cuff)?

    It does make me wonder how jacket makers decide on sleeve length. It’s the one dimension I consistently come up short. Maybe I need to try an IH lol

    Good day, would you please post pictures with a cloth tape/measurements of the shoulder, PtoP and the sleeve length? Thank you

    Congrats on the sale, beautiful jacket.

    I think the jacket looks great (aside from the arm length which wouldn’t work for me). YMMV

    Freewheelers worth it

    Well there you have it then … sounds like they’ve made the arms somewhere in the middle which should work out for most lol

    Freewheelers worth it

    I wish the arms arms were longish on the Mulholland I bought last year. It must just be me … but they were a good inch (plus) too short. To be fair, it’s a problem I’ve found with all the Japanese brands so far … sleeves are too short (for me).

    FS: Real McCoy’s Field Sports Jacket MJ20121 sz 42

    That’s beautiful. I’d be all over it if the sleeves were an inch and a half longer! Glws

    Was Roughwear The Original Manufacturer Of The Iconic Hercules Jacket?

    Thank you, I really enjoy wearing it. I‘ve asked John to add the collar protector on my next one as I feel that’s an important detail to have and practical too.
