    My Regius Made Original Half Belt

    While I work on a review and Proper fit photos, I wanted to share this beauty with the world. I have been wanting to try something new, considering I have two cafe racers and as soon as I saw Tony’s Windward, I decided it was the time for a Half Belt, so I struck up a conversation about it with...

    Himel Bros jacket, 1st winter update

    *mods I apologize in advance if this should be in another thread but I couldn't find a general Himel dedicated thread. So my made up measure Himel Kensington survived its first winter, if you can call it here in Florida, southeastern USA. It does get to the 40's at night some days which isn't...

    Ever wish western companies would compete?

    I say this as a proud owner of a North American Himel and with 2 Scottish jackets on order, Fields. And I wouldn’t hesitate to order from any company around the world. I was pleasantly surprised in Indonesian boot brands Sagara & Junkard. I would just like to see small details added to western...

    Cross Zip wiggle room/extra room

    I’ve been contemplating a cross zip, maybe from Five Star, something I can get quickly but not from one of the types of makers with advice. I wanted to know how much room in the Chest and bottom hem you go for, this will be worn open ost if the time. I can figure out how shoulders and sleeves...

    Fireman Quick Release and Double Prong Garrison Belt

    I just wanted to post these because they are really good quality for the price. Keep in mind that just a simple Garrison belt goes for $200 if it comes in a Real McCoy box, you make beautiful jackets RMC but I will stay far away from the rest of their outrageous priced items. I talked with...

    Hemming your own T Shirts?

    Just curious if anyone has given this a try. It never really came to my mind before joining the lounge but now I’ve learned by everyone’s great fitting jackets that a shirt sticking out from underneath can kill the look. I know i can tuck them in but sometimes you just want a T-shirt to hang...

    Pit to Pit Variances

    I apologize in advance if something like this has been discussed in detail but I thought it might help newer members like myself when purchasing a jacket online. Pit to pit can be so difficult to judge. Nobody really mentions this but P2P will vary depending on where the arm pit seam lies due...

    Thedi Fit advice, finally getting the ball rolling

    I really started to love his designs, honestly when I came I was conflicted because I only wanted repros but being that I have a Repro J100 I’m waiting for, what better way to have something in a similar style but very different. From what I read he asks for very little in regards to...

    Bates style action back Vs. Aero style shoulder gussets

    Let’s say you were looking for a snug fit on a jacket and you were the type of guy that is prone to gaining muscle weight and loosing weight in the back or rear deltoids/shoulders from weightlifting or rowing or climbing or anything else you are in to. Im not really talking about usefulness or...

    What do you think of this New Flat Head Leather Jacket

    Due to their wide shoulders on the larger sizes (if they make a larger one for the western market) It probably wouldn’t fit me but I like the design

    Leather jacket painted portrait removal

    I was browsing the Japanese auction sites and I found this like new jacket but unfortunately the owner had decided to send it to an artist to paint a huge Catwoman design on the back. He doesn’t know if it could be removed, I contacted the artist on instagram and he says you can only paint...

    Jacket Sizes in comparison with height

    For guys under 6 foot tall. I know we give manufacturers the benefit of the doubt but I believe that there are many more people that can’t fit into a stock jacket because once they find their chest size, the body and sleeves are too long. Once you get to a chest size of 44”-46” then you end up...

    Bill Kelso Harleys Cafe Racer

    So I’ve looked and looked everywhere and can not find one picture of this jacket in the wild. Only the site images. I emailed them a couple weeks ago but I know how these makers can be about emailing so I’m not holding my breath to hear back from them. Considering all of the J100 repros out...

    V shaped back

    Question for guys. I know the way a jacket is cut and put together can lead to a VTapered shape, to some degree atleast. I know it will ultimately come down to a person’s body shape. But I was looking at some pictures and was curious if adding kidney panels or a more extreme cut might help...

    Himel Kensington teacore Shinki

    Due to fit issues I am selling a Himel Brothers Kensington size 44. I wanted to love the jacket but it sadly doesn’t fit. https://www.ebay.com/itm/353922322779 I have it on eBay but will do a better price here with PayPal as the eBay fees are high. https://www.ebay.com/itm/353922322779
