Leather Jackets: Post Pictures of the Best You've Seen/Owned?

[Understatesman]

Greg is one of the owners of NMWA and a frequent contributor to this thread. In fact I’ve seen you interact with him on here.

If you don’t want people’s opinions on your jackets, why do you post here?

Because somewhere someone out there stands to gain something from my sharing the fit pics and measurements. Maybe it's a poor little boy in the barrio who's saved up his pesos for his dream Fine Creek Leathers jacket but doesn't know which size to really get. Maybe it's the middle-age divorcee who's getting his second wind in life now that his hair transplant is starting to grow in and he's ready to hit the TGIFriday bars on Tuesday nights in his new leather jacket that he's wondering if his beer-belly skinny-fat ass can pull off. Maybe it's Johnny's time to be rewarded for leading the small town high-school football team to the state playoffs and daddy's going to surprise him with a genuine Schott double rider so while mom is fast asleep at 3 a.m. dad is online reading the forum, learning, searching for ideas, writing down my measurements.

I'm here for them. For all of us.

I am you.

He's just telling you the collar is a bit wack. I think your brain has become so fried from this thread you're constantly assuming people are out to get you instead of trying to be helpful.

Fair enough. Yet he felt the need to pair his helpful comment with the typical "I bet it doesn't fit" narrative completely negating that idea.

And when have I ever expressed anything about wanting collars to stand up, lie flat or anything really? I get the wanting to share a heads up, but the way he did it ... it came from a place of "can't wait to say I told you so." Real helpful.

This shearling is sum comfy ****. Fits, though imma keep my eyes open for a size 42 so I can wear more layers. No hurry.

Yeah that's too small, layers or no layers.

 

[sinnedk]

Sure buddy, it'll probably go on Grailed in like one week's time.

Don’t really need many layers under a shearling.

Given your climate, you really only need a Rancid tank. Have you considered the 38 or even 36?

That jacket is way too small for you. I think @Patrick R is right; you need a 44.

 

[sinnedk]

@dieworkwear i think we should give up sizing advice for him at this point

44? Jeez, how am I gonna find a used 44 in the Japanese market?

I wonder if you should continue to buy clothes from a country where men have a totally different body type.
