Xpost from WAYWT, Margiela replica bomber of 1953 aviator from Ontario. One of my favourite leathers I've owned.

I thought about that when it was on ebay, but the zipper pull bugged the hell out of me. IIRC it was up there for kind of a steal.

That's pretty cool, never seen that one before. MMM has a season carryover A2 but it looks rather different than that one.

is RO suppose to fit narrower on the shoulders or should I just worry about the p2p? I would prefer a 17.5" shoulder measurements. Will 1 inch difference from my usual be a bad fit?


I picked this one up (British seller) - should be arriving any day now and im praying it fits spot on.

Looks pretty nice, what did you pay?


Well I ordered it directly from Himel Bros. It was a jacket that someone custom ordered and then did not complete the purchase. The jacket is my measurements so I decided to give it a try as jackets in stock are about $350 less than custom ordering. I have not seen it yet so hopefully it will fit as well as the measurements tell me. Plus, I like things that are not mass produced. Better quality and details and less chance of seeing someone else wearing it.

My first and only leather jacket, Diesel Luppy--

Great jacket, I used to have it until I ripped it during a drunken night on the town. I do remember the butter soft leather but be careful it rips like paper and isn't very durable. Can anyone suggest any similar jackets to the one above?

BTW: that wool collared Balenciaga is probably not worth it, even at 30% off.
