Falcon Garments took 5 weeks for my shearling DR. They’re currently running a 10 or 15% off sale. I think @Understatesman already tried FG but did you go custom?

Put yourself in my shoes: Everything I post is apparently tracked and studied to post here in an attempt to mock me. Some people really don't have anything else better to do I guess.

You mock yourself, sir

How it feels to wear a James Grose shearling that "fits right" according to SF.

Kanye a style icon?
Not for me.
With this picture, I just thought to myself (without knowing who it is) "Where is this big jacket going to walk with the little man?"

I don't like Kanye West but not recognizing that he did influence a lot of trends in the mainstream is pretty narrow.
Nothing wrong with wearing a huge oversized jacket. There are so many brands that make that style so fun. Even old Armani had big leather jackets which are awesome. Porter Classic also has some oversized leather jackets which I adore.

Morning Gents,

Long time no post. Good to see ya'll are your usual selves in good from no doubt. lol

Anyway, just placed an order for a Aero Rust Goatsuede Original Hercules from Carrie at Thurston. This is my 4th leather jacket.

In contrast to the other leathers, suede is readily available and I should have my jacket in around 8 weeks. Will keep y'all posted with deets to come!

Cheers!

Kanye West has a weirdly shaped body so nothing seems to fit him right but:
  1. He is definitely super popular as a style icon amongst male American millennials. Younger people seem to be more into Soundcloud rappers named lil boatie with face tattoos and colorful dreads but the forum demographics is mostly the aforementioned millenials so it is kinda weird that people would dispute that.
  2. This jacket fit is totally alright
  3. I dunno if he has a gut or not but at least he's not encasing his overweight body into as tight a leather prison as possible like a lot of poasters here, I mean not to kink shame but wtf dudes!

When I read that for some reason I thought you wrote something about the jacket being closed, my mistake.

either way I can find many ways that the jacket "worn" looks good new or beat up.

hopefully you are just trying to spark a conversation on this and not troll me

here one


and me
