View attachment 364018 View attachment 364019 View attachment 364020 View attachment 364021 I’m looking for some brutally honest feedback and advice. I have this Double Helix Deviant, that I can’t return. Depending on the day and my mood, I think it either fits perfectly—Or it feels just small enough to make me not want to wear it.

And honestly, I realized when I went to take the pictures that there’s only one position that grates on me: When my arms are down by my side. But then, how often will I actually be standing like that? I feel like in that position, I’d like just a touch more space in the shoulders. One size up would give me 2cm more in the shoulders and chest, and 1cm more in the arms and length.

I assume the shoulder seems will relax a touch with wear, so that might help. Otherwise, it’s a comfortable fit, as long as I have a thin shirt on and don’t try to wear a sweater. Maybe I just need to make sure I keep my hands in my pockets.

What are your thoughts? @ton312 @Marc mndt @navetsea

Also: I’ll be vacuuming up that dog fur as soon as I hit post.

It looks pretty “fit” to me unless youre really ******* in your gut on the zipped up picture
Then maybe it’s a lil too small

I need to come up with more interesting ways to say I'm still wearing the Vanson Chopper I've had for about 8 months or so now. Been trying to put a bit of break in time on the thing every day I can manage it. In the interest of keeping myself interested, I present to all you fine loungers a (terrible) poem

There once was a man named Khilij
Who lived inside of a village
He wore his Chopper every day
Through dirt, storm, and hay
Yet still he complains about spillage

My friends think it's ridiculous that I'd walk into a hurricane with the thing, but I grimace whenever someone spills beer on my jacket.

Came in today and it Fits! Nice heavy wool. Love the Bell Shaped 40s Conmar Zipper pulls. These are so difficult to find and I don't know why. This style was all over the Catalogs. This one is in excellent condition.

Damn it. Should’ve jumped on that. That’s really nice Terry. I had a feeling it would work. Superb!

I had a feeling it would work too, just not out loud! Well, thanks to you and others for bringing this to my attention. You are typically more of a gambler and you have a "thing" for this style. Maybe just too obvious, too cheap a price? The presentation was good. I walked away too. I buy so many jackets and typically don't hesitate. I will pull out my complete collection of 4 short wool half-belts for a thread. I've got a ton of pictures I've harvested too.

Here is a Sportclad with the same Conmar zipper. Probably made by the same company. I'm hoping for a better fit this season. The Wool is more forgiving than leather.

I just see that you found the appropriate thread
If you have specific questions, feel free.
It is the very first commercial jacket/first order from Greg. Apart from his prototypes, the number 1.
Waiting time at that time I think was 4 weeks. LOL

Do you guys pick out your jacket a day ahead of time? I do that. This be my jacket for the next week. Cold and wet PNW, perfect opportunity for breaking in some stiff Chromexcel. The Aero Moonshiner is quite under rated. Very simple button front. Like a coach jacket with some extra oomph.

Great overall outfit; stellar jacket! Have to admit that the “Moonshiner” has never been on my radar, but I think that needs to change.

Your pictures are a colourful answer as to the “WHY” of CXL leather.

I try follow a set rotation trying to wear a different jacket each day and if it's really cold outside then I try to wear two just to continue breaking in the jackets. the moonshiner looks great and yours fit quite great, should look so much nicer once the cxl finally shapes up to your physique..

I can’t recommend the Leatherman jackets enough…

 

[TREEMAN]

Never heard of them … new ?

No, been around a bit. JL, Cal, others I’m sure, made the jackets for them.

The Lakeland sweater-Jacket came in!
Apart from the shoulder pads (which I’ll soon remove) it’s amazing...

I wouldn't say it's the nicest LL hide I've seen but among nicest hide I've seen in general. That cuff says it all.
