Grow out the top (and esp. fringe) longer than you usually would can improve a haircut a lot more than you think.

Yeah, that's what I do pretty much.

Pretty much buzz the sides and back as high as it can go without it looking like a carrot.  Then grow out the front longer than the top.  No product, clean and easy to deal w/.

Exactly what I do as well. My hair sticks straight up DBZ style, so I always get asked whether I use hair gel, but have never used it in my life haha

You can still get the sides to go down without having long hair (~3cm). Just get it cut and thinned out properly, blow dry your sides down, press your palm on it while it's still hot, then wax it down. The blow drying is not really necessary but it helps.

Finally got my MDR in the mail after 17 weeks!! Fits like a glove. Will be ordering the quilted moto tonight with the same measurements.

 

If there's anything to adjust, I'd say its the circumference of the sleeve hole. Ideally, I wouldn't want my fist to be able to go through the hole. Is there a way to adjust that when placing the order?

 

-edit

Doh, its the "sleeve width @ cuff." Will have to decrease that by .5"

Fit is good both pictures are pretty dark it's kinda hard to accurately see the length but everything else looks good.

Do the sleeves look a little too long? For the moto I asked Charly to shorten the sleeve length .5"

^.5 adjustment sounds good, what are you thinking for the moto?

Put in an order about an hour ago for a lambskin Quilted Moto with all blacked out zippers in the same size with .5" smaller opening at the cuff, and .5" shorter sleeve length.

Just thinking about my choice of leather for the moto and was wondering if there's a certain type of skin that is recommended for the moto. I just got lambskin because i love the softness and just matte look of my lambskin MDR. Would calfskin be better? If so, why?
