    What is the proper fit for leather loafers?

    But what if they came in suede…?

    https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/favorite-cafe-racer.114100/ What are the fit implications of a straight yoke, like this one on @MrProper ‘s Aero J-100? It seems like a curved one is more anatomical, and a straight seem would the limit the flex a single piece of leather would have.

    Schott P213 Lambskin Perfecto Sizing and Fit

    Did you end up keeping either of the Schotts?

    Finally picked up Schott Cafecto 603! Do I cut off the epaulets?

    Butterscotch has a custom Addict jacket without epaulets. Honestly, it’s not my favorite jacket. I like picking one style or the other, but I suppose it’s unusual, which is the appeal. Addict Clothes x ButterScotch - TRI Jacket

    Finally picked up Schott Cafecto 603! Do I cut off the epaulets?

    My first thought is: It’s your jacket. Do whatever you want. But personally, I HATE the look. I can’t stand the Fine Creek Leon Custom, which comes pre-cut. It looks mangled, and like a hack did it.

    FS: Freewheelers Bodie Brown Shinki Deerskin Size 42

    Cool jacket, but that’s a really short back!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I’ve always assumed the “double” and “single” referred to double breasted and single breasted, like suits. And yes, because they’re motorcycle “riders” jackets, that made sense, too. But now you have me wondering!

    I didn’t realize Red Wing was still making them. Can anyone confirm?

    Aero Ridley Fit Check

    I think shoulders and sleeve length are perfect. Sizing up will ruin that. It depends on what jeans/pants you’ll be wearing with it. With the ones you have on, I agree with @MrProper adding a little bit more length in the front. I personally would want just a touch more width in the abdomen, but...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    The sleeve girth (?) looks good, but as we all know, looking good and being comfortable are two different things. I’m still mourning the loss of that Aero you had a while back that looked perfect but you said was uncomfortable. I think sleeve length is one of the most subjective details. Per...

    For sale: Schott P213 Raven Size L Black

    One of these has been on my wish list for a while! Schotts tend to run large, and I think I’m more of a medium. The ptp is wide, but the sleeves and back length look perfect for me

    Double Helix Deviant Horsehide Jacket for sale - 40 chest UK

    These are great jackets! I’m sure the guys will want to know the exact measurements if you have a tape handy.

    Schott 618 fit check

    Two things you’ll find here: 1) Fit is very subjective. 2) Your own opinion will change over time. If you like it, wear it and enjoy it! My own experience has been, however, that if I don’t love it immediately, I’ll never pull it out of the closet. So if you have any hesitations, I’d say...

    What are other jackets similar to the FreeWheelers 37J1? I’m digging the more streamlined collar.

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

    https://standardandstrange.com/products/101xx-jacket-black-french-veg-lamb $9400 for a lambskin jacket that looks like a ratty old mall jacket. Oof!

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    The sleeve length looks perfect for you, but isn’t that p2p too small? And should it feel weird to know that?

    Double Helix Works?

    I don't think anyone has answered this yet. I don't know what the normal markup for specialty clothing is, but in a lot of other shops, it's 50%. My guess is that this shop has a formula they use, and the increased sales price reflects a higher than average cost to obtain the merchandise...

    Fit check on my first leather jacket

    I think the jacket fits great. But a heavy weight Schott is a tough first jacket. It’s not going to be comfortable ‘til you’ve broken it in, and that’s going to take some time. A few years ago, many of the posts were about how to speed up the break in process (with much debate if it should be...
