Sometimes you roll the dice and it just does not work out...

Ragstock/Dainese "vintage" Motorcycle jacket - crease & wrinkle special. At least it can be returned, which it is already boxed back up and goes out this evening.
52 EU/42 US and appears to have shrunk slightly as well:

So: Buyer Beware - all Ragstock items appear to have lived a "bailed" life.

This jacket went from zero to hero (overly dramatic, I know).

Besides the shoulder pad treatment to address some neck weight distribution issues, I added zips to the hand warmers. Completely transformed the silhouette. Will never get another leather jacket without a way to close down pockets. Makes all the difference.

Really digging the epic brown cxl. This is going to be one of those epic aged IG jackets that gets used as a movie prop, hanging in the background to denote coolness, wisdom and the dilemma of needing to adjust your raw denim jean leg hem.

And another LL…

„Flying Dominator“ in what is the nicest sheepskin imaginable. Big thanks to @Finn Vigorous for making this possible for me. I know it’s a controversial design, but for me it was love at first sight.
I am more and more partial to OTR jackets. If this were custom, I’d probably muse over the odd half inch here and there. Truth is, fit is perfect for me, and the jacket just works. Even my wife likes what she refers to as the „70s appreciationmovie look“.

Wow, looking good there! Really happy that the piece I sought long after found a good home, and was a great pleasure dealing with you @Tom71.

After seeing these pictures, I think I could have been able to live with the snug chest fit, but combined with the shortish length, the jacket just felt too small on me. It definitely looks much better on you!

Thank you! The pleasure was all mine! I’ve had more than one jacket that looked great on photos but just felt too small. I have reluctantly accepted that this means they are. I don’t have a picture zipped up, but the jacket is just right as it it.
