Seraphin Leather Jackets - Appreciation Thread
Specifically for Seraphin, assuming I'd love to limit the question to minimalist (particularly racer style) lighter leather jackets intended for spring or fall, what would your dream (first) jacket be? What color, leather and style would be ideal and wearable?- josepidal

MTM leather jacket and later weight loss
There are old threads on this for suits, but I wanted to ask specifically for leather jackets. How bad (or good!) is it if you have a leather jacket made MTM, but you lose substantial weight later (say over 10 or 20 kg). The longstanding advice for suits is to have a suit made for your body...- josepidal

Paris thread
I found a retailer carrying Le Laboureur but he only had one piece of the smallest and one piece of the largest size jackets, and only in black. He said he sold these to carpenters with the matching carpenter pants of the same brand (or people who want to look like chic carpenters). The guy had...- josepidal

Seraphin Leather Jackets - Appreciation Thread
After a lot of head scratching on their end, I suspect, Seraphin replied to tell me they can let me drop by as a huge exception on a weekday. One question, if your weight has been fluctuating, is there any issue getting a MTM leather jacket? I suspect that as long as the shoulders and armholes...- josepidal

Linen Safari Jacket
The yellow is an amazing summer color that would look incredible in any European southern coast, especially with pastel hued houses in the back. Obviously not your first linen jacket, but an incredible third, fourth or fifth. Anyone have any input on getting a jacket like those featured here...- josepidal

Seraphin Leather Jackets - Appreciation Thread
Anyone who's actually worked with Seraphin before? I got a late and confused reply, saying they are a manufacturer and not a retailer, and asking who said to e-mail them directly.- josepidal

Linen Safari Jacket
By the way. Glad we all seem to agree that we can leave the belts at home. But can I ask, are epaulettes still a thing? Need to add that years before linen field jackets became more popular, linen guayaberas were a classic in Mexico. I remember seeing an incredible RTW Scottish linen guayabera...- josepidal

Glad I asked and Andy those look incredible. How often do you need to get them cleaned?- josepidal

When are leather jacket sleeves too long on a short man?
And as an aside, you have less room for error for the length of the jacket itself right? not longer than the bottom of your belt and should not be covering your butt? Any rule of thumb for when it's too long when sitting down?- josepidal

Paris thread
How does it compare to Mont St Michel given it's 1/3 the price, and why is its distribution so odd (it's not available in the major cities)?- josepidal

When are leather jacket sleeves too long on a short man?
Let’s say you are a short man (below 5’ 6”) and you want to buy a minimalist racer type jacket that has high quality but very soft leather like lamb. Most jackets will have sleeves that run long and the leather is prone to stacking on the arms. How do you know when sleeves are too long in this...- josepidal

Seraphin Leather Jackets - Appreciation Thread
If you were to buy your first Seraphin leather (assume a minimalist bomber or racer), would you go with a brown jacket? Or does this brand invite you to be a little different and try something else like red, blue or olive green?- josepidal
