I was told that I am not posting enough pics quite some time ago, so this thread is to address this, sorry it took so long! :)

It is not exactly a "what are you wearing today" thread, as I generally wear a jacket and go out, otherwise I would simply post in the relevant thread.

This thread is to revisit certain jackets and check current fit, I have been changing in body shape quite a bit in recent years, so it is interesting to see how jackets continue to fit as I go on. Case in point I have lost quite a bit of weight recently and can fit again in jackets I couldn't zip up last year.

And we will start with the tight jackets, here is the Little Wing repro from Freewheelers

It is still a bit too tight currently and I suspect I should be more comfortable in it with a couple kgs less

Edit: forgot to mention the relevant thread for this jacket here

And next is another jacket I couldn't zip until not so long ago, the Thedi #MTC-141159/3 in gray cowhide.

Surprisingly comfortable on the bike. Full freedom of movement, very tight so no wind comes in, etc...

Edit: forgot yet again the relevant thread lol
It is here

That's an interesting design! Haven't seen it before. Fit looks great, doesn't look too tight.

I will add another fit pics if I lose an extra 2 - 3 kg... Although I am already confortable at the current weight. We will see :)

The original was made by the East West Musical Instruments Company which catered mainly to musicians as you could expect :)
They made many wild and interesting jackets.

So today, we go for red and black starting with the red Tenjin D-pocket. This the only jacket I currently own in red, but I am addressing this point as I am typing this :D

It wasn't as tight as the previous ones I posted on this thread, but defintely feels better now

The Thedi was custom made to my measurements back then, the Tenjin was adjusted according to a sample jacket I tried in the shop :)

Let's continue with green buffalo from Thedi leathers. This one was a perfect fit when I got, maybe a bit tight, but not as tight as the CR. Yet after such weight loss it still fits like this

Still have a long ways in terms of taking pictures, but I hope this shows it well enough for now :)

And since the theme is green, I can show this jacket as well :)

The LW Moosehide Trojan, this one was confortable from the get go, the one thing to point out is that with a smaller gut, it falls a bit lower on the front.

The relevant thread with the potentially misleading title is here lol
IMO both jackets fit you good even if the LW allows more layering. The Engineers are from Clinch, right? Like them :)
