Your cred is built on 40 jackets that fit you to a T (I am pretty sure it should say to a T, not to a tee, lol). So even though you may break a lot of hearts, your perspective is quite valuable.
My JL chp is at their place getting new sleeves after having them take an inch off one was shorter than the other. And i got a custom JL on order. I sold a couple. Only have like 3-5 at a time always buying new, flipping for huge loss, etc lol my curse
Ey, 1 out of 4 fitting perfectly is a better score than I have. Lost more than 20 lbs of weight and literally everything I own is too big now. My size 40 Vanson America used to be tight zipped up, now I put on my size 38 (found it super cheap on ebay so I own the America twice now) and I feel like a 36 may fit even better.
Is there anything left to desire when having so many? Anything on your wishlist currently?
Scarily, yes there is... I actually just closed a deal 3 seconds ago on eBay!
Just got this baby:
It's a jacket i have been looking for for a while but they don't come up super often, i saw one a couple months ago but condition wasn't great and it was missing the belt so i let it go. This one was a bit expensive but the seller accepted an offer. This Vanson and the Lewis Leathers Mk2 are my Steve McQueen Specials!
I also am very interrested by this jacket and have been discussing it with Mark:

It has a very different vibe/pattern to anything else i have worn before, i am really curious about it.
I also really like the idea of an unlined jacket for summertime.
I am also always on the lookout for anything LW made, if it is my size i will most likely get it, they are IMO the peak of my collection.
I would still love to find a Peter's jacket (Freewheelers San Mateo) in my size, a good Cal CHP, a nice Bates...
All that to say, yes...
Indeed, I can only imagine how heavy it must be. I have a similar model, made from heavy denim with quilted lining. Don't know how much it weighs, but it's a lot. You might want to train your trapezius muscles in advance
