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

Yeah too small.

Maybe so. But I need to keep the shoulder width at max 17" so ... finding a <17" with a 20" p2p is rare. Here's the FCL Roberts zipped up and pockets also zipped closed (they were open in the above compilation making the waist look wider than it is).

you know rick owens might of stitched his jackets a bit better in anticipation of this

Hard to tell from that photo, but the cafe racer also looks like it might be too tight for you.

Nah, that one's all loose and flowy on me. I like the body length on it though.

For reference, I'm currently wearing a size 38 Roberts but I'm 5'10" and 158 lbs.

No wonder the seam tore apart. You're wearing two sizes too small. I'm about 18lbs lighter than you and that size is slim even on me. It is impressive that you managed to even zip it up, but I would strongly advise you not to as I fear you're going to end up busting the zippers as well.

I get it that you like slim stuff. But "loose and flowy" is a bit of a stretch (no pun intended).

I disagree. I can literally fit a tennis ball under the chest on my chest when zipped up.

Ok, you're right. Tried it on again and it's a perfect fit on the body. Differences being RL is lambskin, FCL is horsehide.

Is that with or without Busted Seams™?

I don’t know… to be really sure I would have to see you fit two tennis balls in there.

Please let tennis balls become the next metric in fit pics.

Mine for comparison, same size, 145 lbs 5'10" 37" chest. Probably 2-3 tennis ball allowance.

 

[Understatesman]

Well, I mean, I used a tennis ball because isn't the standard for when wearing a suit jacket that you can just fit a fist under the lapel to size it?

Well, in this case, I can fit a tennis ball. So there is no pressure on the zipper without it.

One on each side just for fun.

Looks good! 2-3 tennis balls is where it's at.

That **** looks tight as hell though, I think I could probably fit a two to three tennis balls in my FCL Edward. The shoulder and chest area look especially tight
