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

its actually .2"
Let's get this straight, you can't just divide cm's by 2 and get inches. It's 2.54cm=1in
I was selling some Junya jeans one time and I had all the measurements in cm. The leg opening was like 19.5cms and I cant tell you how many idiots PMd me asking how these slim jeans could have a 9" leg opening...

.4" :foo:

Reading through that thread it actually looks like the results vary, from a tiny bit of shrinkage or no shrinkage to a full size or two. Not something I'm anxious to try unless I get really stuck with the thing, though?

hey but you got it for cheap right so it doesn't matter i mean who cares if it doesn't fit properly

KJ, there's no chance you can shrink yours as much as you would need for it to look good. In order of precedence, you should:

1. Flip it for profit
2. Return it if possible
3. Sell it for marginal loss
4. Cut it up into pieces and practice your leatherworking skills
5. Give it to a homeless man on the street
6. Toss it in the garbage
...
...
...
7. Shrink it only to realize it still doesn't fit.

Sorry man. This one's a lost cause.

Yeah no worries I came to that conclusion about three seconds after making my original post, I just think the whole idea is sorta cool so posted the info for anyone interested

.4" :foo:

are we talking about the same thing? armpit went from 53-52.5cm
edit:
nvm I see circumference now

edit2:
but still if the chest was 53cm the circumference was 166.42 and if the chest shrank to 52.5 then the circumference is 164.85. Giving 1.57 cm circumference shrink or .6" so its over half an inch.

Dude, it's measured flat - circumference is just the p2p*2

 

[thatoneguy]

nvm

It may be time for you to put away the calculator

Think about how you take a pit to pit measurement, and it's relationship to the circumference of the piece. Unless you're suggesting that the jacket was cut for someone with a 60+" chest...

edit - Well I see you just had this cleared up

 

[thatoneguy]

for some reason I was thinking it was like measuring the diameter

it's a wrap, I was wrong
