    Custom Thedi Buffalo Cafe Racer - fit advice needed

    There's a quote out there that sums this up: Plenty of threads on here about the process, even specific to Thurston bros. Read up.

    Custom Thedi Buffalo Cafe Racer - fit advice needed

    If you read their store policy, you'll see why that is tricky: It's tough to argue that the jacket is "defective" because of this issue. It's not like they screwed up the back - just incompatibility with the OP's neutral posture. Not saying he shouldn't try, but seems unlikely Thurston will...

    Custom Thedi Buffalo Cafe Racer - fit advice needed

    My friend, you're working yourself into a frenzy by the looks of it. I believe OP has explored all avenues at this point - looks like returning this jacket is not feasible. We had discussions as to why the back piece looks off, and the maker himself explained the reason why along with a...

    Doubts about authenticity of Real McCoy's Buco J100.

    Still enjoying it buddy. Still wearing it around with it when weather permits (these days it goes to 20C+ which is when it gets too warm for me personally)… gonna be looking forward to Autumn/Fall when I don’t have to worry if it gets too warm lol

    Lost Worlds Buco Rider sizing question

    From the product description, seems like it may be just a one-off piece they did. Maybe just design experimentation. Yeah, figured there wouldn’t be much of a point to it. I asked Stuart about taking it out, but apparently it’s intrinsic to the design. Thanks for sharing your experience with...

    Doubts about authenticity of Real McCoy's Buco J100.

    Hey bro, glad you got the confirmation. It may not smell brand new, but certainly looks that way. Enjoy wearing it. Best looking jacket so far.

    That’s an interesting mini half-belt :D Sorry, no idea what else to call it. Is there a proper term for this type of back design?

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    I think you need to stop making assumptions about what happens in office cubicles... things can get exciting now and then

    I'd keep it simply as a visual point of interest the only time I'd care about the designation is if I was in a forest and switched to my best behavior :)

    After seeing Theodoros's response, it sounds obvious what's happened - guess that's what happens when an expert chimes in lol

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Maybe not for every LW piece - I'm usually a 42, but figured from the measurements Stu gave this could work. Either way, the die has been cast :D And yeah, this is the same one that was on ebay... although just went for a direct transaction instead and save some fees lol The canvas is...

    Got the Heavy Canvas/Denim Lined version of the LW J23 today. This thing is a beast in its own right - weighs just as much as some leather jackets I have.

    Best of luck, hope it works out Still a great looking jacket + leather after all is said and done

    Custom Thedi Buffalo Cafe Racer - fit advice needed

    It sounds like he's asking you to "add" a yoke that you see on the backs of a lot of jackets. If you go back upto my previous pic, it's that horizontal seam that runs across my upper back which helps add some curvature. I believe you have the idea. Honestly I think the best approach is...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Do you have any examples or pictures of the ill-fitting sleeves from LW? I've seen some cases of jackets which are clearly the wrong size on somebody... but not those crazy oversized sleeves. I also think the MC patterns are trimmer vs the Work/Civ oriented ones like Ryder, Suburban, etc...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Cut the sleeves off, now you can make some leather pants and a vest... profit :) Yes, the sleeves can seem billowy from certain angles and poses. On the ryder I have, they settle very nicely when looking front on. But from the side, I think the forearm tends to be ok, but excess settles around...

    Custom Thedi Buffalo Cafe Racer - fit advice needed

    Yeah, based on what you showed that looks like a feature meant especially for riding. Since you mentioned sleeve pitch, is that something straightforward to alter to mitigate it? Or that would impractical/not enough at this point?
