I've got it in the heavy moleskin from a few years back, but luke had some pics on his story wearing this one specifically

Would you mind sharing a pic or two of the bottle green blouson similar to how you did that amazing leather number? Are the lengths the same on both?

Got the leather in today.

First impressions:
  • First time getting calf leather jacket in a while and appreciate that it's a bit stiff but not so stiff that you need to fall off motorcycles to break it in.
  • Like the corduroy lining in hand pockets
  • Wish pockets were bigger but tbh not sure how that is possible given the size of the jacket
  • Not sure how I feel on the white lace drawstrings. Think it may have been better black but will see.

Anyone have tips on Plage sizing? I would take my true size (40) but it seems like the 38 would have plenty of room judging by the measurements. 6'1 175lbs for reference.

Me: 5‘10 175lb size 40 is great, just shortened the sleeves by 1.5“. I suspect a size 38 would be too short in the body for you.

another data point- 42 TTS is perfect for me on the linen plage. I'm 6'2 180. I also think erring on the side of louge'ier over fitted is best on this piece.

I just ordered the HBT Cat Posh Plage in 38 and I'm a 38. I have the blouson in 38 and it's a great fit. I'm hoping the Plage is consistent.

I had it in my cart for a while and I noticed some of the other sizes selling out and pulled the trigger.

nice! I have the two-pocket officer's shirt in the same color and material and it's gorgeous. it's really substantial and is a great shade that goes with just about anything
