The FCL Leon is bonkers but a bit too small, so they’re going to ship in a 42 from another store.

Off to Self Edge in SF to try on some jackets today and post pics for feedback. A few things first, though...

I’m truly thankful to @kiya for his act of kindness. Within short order of my post, he just went and offered a leather jacket at the store’s cost, which speaks volumes about him as a person.

Second, I want to thank @LA Guy for fronting the cost of the jacket on his dime. Again, prompted only by his own well-wishes.

And then @dieworkwear who behind my back went and started a GoFundMe page to cover the cost of my broken window. He gathered a few StyFo dudes and each gave motivated by generosity.

None of these gestures were necessary or expected, and I am truly grateful to be a part of a community that, every now and again, reflects the best side of mob mentality.

You guys rule.
Ahem. We prefer "community mentality".

the last one (whatever that is) and it’s not even close
I am in agreement here, the 42 will probably get it done, but unzipped the 40(I'm assuming) looks good. What side is the delraiser?

I like the 1st and last ones. Maybe if you had a tee instead of a flannel shirt, the others might look different.

@LA Guy @#dadcore @NYDRH @dieworkwear @nyarkies

Yup, the last one is a the FCL Leon in a size 40. It fits all right, but only when my arms are straight down.

Practically speaking I could just wear a tee underneath but I rarely do, since the weather changes so significantly from when I leave for work at 6am and when I come home at 2pm.

Yea, I like the last one, the Leon, the best. But agree that you should try the next size up.
