Hoping to get some input. Originally ordered the Moto in M, my true size. Like others recently, found the arm length to be a bit long. Arms and jacket zipped up weren’t tight at all. I’d say just comfortable.

Ordered a size down, S. I feel like the arm length is a bit better. Arms are slightly tight and when zipped up (don’t think I’ll ever zip it up). Is the consensus the jacket will likely stretch a bit? Hoping the arms have a bit of give. Anyways here’s some fit pics. Wearing interval tee and canals.

Medium hands down. Small too cropped and tight.

Medium, and to pile on, I've heard longer leather sleeves tend to shorten a bit with wear from stacking. Also alteration is possible, though complicated/risky, e.g., shortening the zippers. Below are a few links but proceed w/ caution, I'm not a leather guy and one of the articles has a bunch of typos.

FQHH - How much sleeve shortening I expected?

Hey guys, Long time lurker but just now new member here. Great forum! My question. I have a fit jacket in CXL FQHH that I am evaluating. But I am bit unsure about how to think about sleeve length. How much will they shorten due to wear and creasing? I've been getting very mixed answers about...

Medium for the versatility and layering purposes. Also if worse comes to worse, you can shorten the sleeves at a few places.

Edit: This place is highly recommended though I myself have not used them before. But they make custom leather jackets and do alterations as well. https://www.johnsonleather.com/

The leather looks crazy

I’m getting fine creek vibes

S looks too small, M looks too big?

That’s what I’m thinking as well. As much as I love the jacket (leather is insane on it) I think I’m just going to send both back and hunt down a Rider instead.

Any help identifying this wash? I purchased a pair of what I thought would be Daze Canal but I was sent this instead. It was mislabeled. Definitely a cast 2 fit with the double layer feature. Fits a bit looser than other cast 2s.

Those look like original 100% cotton Coast circa 2015

Wash tag says 98 and 2 like the newer Casts.

Label also says John Elliott rather than John Elliott + Co which I’m assuming was used back in 2015. Not sure exactly when that change was made though.

I bought these off Saks thinking I was getting The Daze in canal. These are a nice wash and I like the slightly looser fit, just stumped on what it is.

Thye kind of look like my Ozone Coast cast 2’s.
