    WTB Anyone have a Jean Shop NYC leather jacket in size small?

    Thanks for this suggestion Aerofan! I'm actually his close measurements but 5'7 instead of 5'11 so I fear, like my current jacket, it may be bigger than what I am looking. I appreciate it

    WTB Anyone have a Jean Shop NYC leather jacket in size small?

    Hi all, I recently joined the forum and from what I gather, a lot of you are knowledgeable about the leather jacket market, brands, successes and issues. Thanks for creating this space. Currently I'm on the hunt for my next jacket. I already own a 60s brooks cafe racer (a tiny bit big) and that...

    Aero Board Racer 1-YR Anniversary Update

    Awesome review and update! One question regarding the jacket length: is it 25" from collar to hem all around or is the front slightly longer than the back? Any help is appreciated

    Brooks CR jacket dating?

    Hi Terry, I've watched your YouTube videos and was wondering since you had a lot of experience with these Brooks jackets, if you knew how to best wash them? I have one with a slight smell. I do not mind any shrinking as I think a snugger fit would be a good thing as well as a worn look with...

    Wash your jacket before and after pic

    The liner is ripped in several spots so I planned on replacing that no matter what. My concerns are the same as yours for the zippers. For most people here though, they don't seem to be affected as much as I would have thought. Some slight wavyness doesn't bother me as there already is some in...

    Wash your jacket before and after pic

    Awesome results! Did you have the jacket buttoned up during the drying process? Did you use woolite, leather cleaner, or soap/detergent of any kind?

    Aero fan, If nothing else, you get a clean jacket I suppose For me though guys, I really want the best balance of body shrinkage to zipper deformation. It fits nice, albeit a tad big, but then it's still not fully broken in - ie the sleeves still need more creases in order not to be so long...

    Thank you so much for your help! Definitely will keep the stitching in mind during the process. I have the liquid lexol soap and both lexol conditioner and pecard antique leather dressing as well. Given your experience with the brooks, can I expect any substantial shrinking by slow/natural...

    Hi Carlos! I found this post from another member and it's given me a point of reference of the first part of the process. Thanks! Now for the next part: drying with the intention of shrinking. Did you have the jacket come out of your outlined drying a bit snug or see overall shrinking? I'm not...

    Copy that. I was thinking you maybe put it in the dryer. Did you use any soap or detergent? I'm thinking about trying to shrink my Brooks cafe racer jacket to be a bit more snug. One full size would be great!
