    How did you find the fit across the shoulders? A few here have commented that it's cut very narrow across the shoulders and around the armpits. ___ I found the fit good, I really liked the shape and cut it was just the stiffness of the leather.

     I tried the Donkey Jacket on in Flannels yesterday and I felt like Robocop, I couldn't bend my arms at all due to the thickness of the leather. With my arms at my side I liked the jacket a lot but felt it was unwearable, I'm guessing the leather would soften up but with the wear I would...

    I've just won this on ebay, I bid minutes after first seeing it. Now I look closely, I'm not really sure what it is. I thought it was the blue ventile one from last summer but I've never seen the metal studs around the pockets before. Can anyone shed any light on what this is? Cheers

     I've been after this boot for a long time. I take US 8 in Nike and US 7.5 in Yuketen and Red Wing, so I think a US 6 might be too much of a squeeze. With shipping etc it's prob not worth the risk.

     I'm a UK 7 , is there any way this boot could fit me?

     I actually prefer the look of the blue denim one but I only wear jeans and wouldn't want to look like I had a denim suit on.

    Why do you guys think the Denim Mallory is not proving to be popular, it's discounted to 50% at a few places and they have every size possible. I was going to get the Army one but I can see more money being shaved off as they don't seem to be moving at all.

    Sugar Cane Hawaii

    They are here and for some reason they don't look too bad. Are these pre-shrunk because there is no info on the labels or on the website where I purchased them. Also if they are not pre-shrunk, would I lose some inches on the hem or is it just waist and length. Thanks.

     Thanks, they should be with me anytime now but I can't imagine I will be keeping them.

     I think you have named the two most 'off' sized Cabourn jackets, I take a 50 in the Cameraman, Mallory, Rangoon etc. and they all fit perfectly but my Surface in a 50 was tight across the chest and my Aircraft in 48 fits perfectly.

    Sugar Cane Hawaii

    I have ordered some Sugar Cane Hawaii without knowing very much about them. After I placed the order I asked for the measurement at the hem. I was told it was 24.5cm which is over 9.5 inches. Can this be right? I don't own a pair of jeans with a hem measurement over 8.25 inches. They almost...

    Actually the one they posted on the website did not have the knotted drawstring. It had the regular one as in your picture. I noticed it at the time and thought it was strange.

     I love Cabourn but £150 for a t-shirt is taking the piss.

     I too read all the stuff about Ten C on here too which did put me off a little bit. However I think I'm a little bit different to most people on here as I work in the construction industry Monday to Friday and wear workwear so with the rotation of my jackets they get worn on average once a...

    I purchased the Ventile Cameraman with Vest in 50 and returned it the very next day. It just didn't work for me, the vest was a nice snug fit but the jacket was huge, it was incredibly unflattering, I think the extra size is to accommodate the vest underneath. The strange thing was it also...

    I received the Seam Sealed Cameraman today, 5 minutes later it was back in the box to be returned. I'm really disappointed. The vest doesn't work IMO, there is too much bulk when the coat is fastened up and it doesn't work unbuttoned either. It seems to be cut a lot longer than the tweed...

    Talking of Kafka, I've just ordered the Seam Sealed Cameraman with Detachable Vest at almost 70% off. Has anyone got any thoughts on why this jacket has had what seems to be poor sales, does anyone on here own one?

     Thanks for that, I'll mull it over today and hope it isn't sold this evening, I have short arms, the sleeves aren't overly long are they?

    I've got my eye on the Wide Lapel Jacket in Tweed, although it will probably be gone in the very near future, it's a Size 52 but is said to be a slim fit. I'm a 50 in the Mallory, can anyone comment how the fit compares to the Mallory. Cheers.
