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

Actually each Fine Creek Leather jacket is made by only 3 guys in a factory that's about 600 square feet in the center of Tokyo! One of those three guys is Yoshi, the designer and owner of the brand.

Yoshi’s IG is a must follow. Lots of well aged, broken in tea core jackets.

Epaulets and belt have been cut off, it’s this jacket:

Fine Creek Leon Custom Horsehide Jacket - Shinki Leather

This is a limited version of Fine Creek's Leon Custom jacket made of a 1.5mm Shinki tannery horsehide with a shorter break-in period and slightly lighter weight which is great for all weather wear. Fine Creek makes some of the most beautiful horsehide jackets we've seen. Using a vegetable tanned...

Looks dope. I would have to try it on in person someday but def looks cool. Ugh leather jackets

 

[UrbanComposition]

Yeah @Benesyed that’s the last one I tried on at Self Edge. Getting the next size up shipped to San Francisco so I can give it a spin.

I probably would need a 40 or 42 (later more likely). My bust is around 42-43in mostly because of my lats and back

are japanese jackets always cut on the slim side? Beneseyed points out in this post exactly why I stick to regular cuts of everything I wear. They all look slim on me so a truely fitted jacket would always be too binding. Hell I even have go to regular cut trousers for a slim look.

 

[Benesyed]

Yeah for shirts slim usually looks bad. Regular with darts is the play to make

If you have a 42"-43" chest you would need a 44 or 46.

there is no way you are a 40, I’m a 40 and I normally wear 38, listen to @kiya on this.

I took the 42 in FCL Leon custom and I’d consider myself to be in the larger side of a standard medium at 175lbs. I can post measurements if someone needs them.

@kiya thank you for your help and sizing advice

5"11 41 (chest/back) 170lbs. I am 4 weeks post testicular tumor orchiectomy (lefty's gone) and have only in the passed 3 days started working out again in moderation. So, I have atrophied quite a bit since my last full body measurement. What I have above is all the accuracy I have for now. My bodyweight doesn't change much but I am carrying more bodyfat here than usual to offset that fact. I usually carry more mass than this in my shoulders chest back and arms. This is me in a a regular fit 38 small. I have room but not much. It's a lighter weight jacket with a light weight lining. Notice the taper. That's not any kind of camera angle effect. This is a 2nd example of how in my opinion, a jacket should fit. It has room for me to expand and grow.

Next I have a slim fit 38. Same chest measurement. It's another light weight jacket in brown. Keep in mind, it looks good on me now but that will change when I'm back to off of doctor ordered restrictions on exercise. In other words, I cant really push myself yet with an incision going across the left half of my groin if I want the parts hanging off my groin to stay where they should. I had to stop wearing this because of how tight it was up until now. The reason I say this is that this jacket has an x cut. It does not agree with a lifter's physique because the shoulder, back, chest and torso mass I usually carry cause it to bulge out at the four ends of the x cut which are both sides of the hem causing the edges to stick out off my waist and the shoulders too, causing the chest to crease awkwardly and sleeves to be almost an inch too short. I'm usually a v cut but atrophy has caused me to look more blocks in the torso since I still have lower back abdominal and oblique muscle tone left over. There is not much room here for a v cut body to expand as it does across the lats chest and shoulders.

Good luck with your prognosis, from another testicular cancer patient. (I also said goodbye to the left one.) Be careful with your incision. Do you have to stop lifting because of the strain it puts on the hernia?

P.S. Vitamin E oil helps with scar tissue elasticity.
