Today I’m wearing my dad’s hand-me-down Banana Republic leather jacket. It is not quite as nice as the jackets normally seen here, but my Schott is starting to feel too fitted for my daily office wear. Today I chose comfort. Haha.

I believe I’m starting to like a cropped boxier look, so my next jacket is hopefully a boxy highwayman with the waist tapered in as much as they can.

I know the preference here is a slimmer fit, I was wondering everyone’s thoughts on a boxier fit like this one?

Yeah, NOW I land a perfect HWM.

Looks great! What’s your chest size and normal jacket size and what sizing did you go for this highwayman?

 

[soundwavvves]

Yeah, NOW I land a perfect HWM.

I don’t need a HWM, I don’t need a HWM, I don’t need a HWM

How do we feel about the length of this cross zip?

I think my perspective has become warped due to my foray into 50s style hip-length jackets because now 26+” motorcycle jackets feel wayy too long for my 5’ 9” frame, even though it’s pretty standard for modern patterns.

I sized up from a small to a medium in this jacket for the added chest room, but then everything else got unnecessarily longer, too. Classic OTR probs so may be moving it along.

Today was chilly, perfect for shearling

A much better opinion could be given with the shirt tucked

That's a keeper.

Good point. Here’s the belt line

Been wearing this Levi’s ever since it landed. I took 2” off the length and sewed the **** shoot closed. Being able to do stuff like that in my own home is amazing. Opens up so many possibilities for making things more my own. Might be my favorite denim jacket.

I think I looks pretty damn good. No "double belt" issues and still ok with a lower rise jean. Added bonus of extra coverage in cold weather since as you sized up you probably have some room to layer. The arms don't seem to be too long either.

A little short. Not a dealbreaker. If you’re interested in a brown cross zip with a shorter body length PM me regarding my shot P656 H.

Was the perfect cold weather jacket and kept me warm all winter long. Hoping this will be the last wear for a while as the forecast is looking like spring is around the corner!

Y’2 car coat. To be honest looked pretty terrible when it arrived. Very shiny, cut looked odd.
However, now it has broken in I think it looks rather good. The detailing and colour consistency isn’t as good as some top tier brands but, very good for the money.

 

[AeroFan_07]

Yeah, NOW I land a perfect HWM.

That's an awesome fitting, sharp Highwayman! I hope you can wear & enjoy this one.

Gen-you-wine HD denim riding jacket.
From the 2006 motorclothes collection.
US made (for HD) but no sign who by ?
Very good Pocketing and storage.
Not as "70's cool" as Ton's denim offerings, but I of course (am thru'with being cool).
AND no requirement to sew shut the ****er flap !
