      IMO chest is 1-2 Inches to small for you Rafa. Rest (including length) looks spot on!

      Enjoy ya addiction!

        Unziped it is a perfect fit, but I agree with Jordan23, zipped up it is a bit tight around the chest. Otherwise a perfect jacket.

            Cafe Racers are meant to be snug. I don't think that it's way too tight.

            As for the length, some of that will be lost when the sleeves crease up. They'll look better in a couple of months. Besides it's better to start off a bit long than a bit short as that can be adjusted if needs be. 😛

              Thx for all the -J100 fitpics, Rafa.
              It further my decisions for the right leather jacket …... Collar, Sleeves, (Pockets) ...
              Yeah - Now I'm sure, a black GK would be perfect for me.  🙂

                                  I'm not even sure how it started.  One thing led to another and I had pile of scraps on the floor.  I also had an unlined jacket with mismatched pockets and missing about 25 feet of stitching

                                        Hey @Giles just curious, what's the difference between the vintage horsehide and the cxl horsehide that the cafe racer comes in?

                                          A nervous week after giving "Ting Ting" (the Vietnamese tailor) her sewing assignment (through mostly gestures), I picked up the jacket tonight.

                                          I had removed the entire liner, including the gun pocket, and double layer of leather on both sides of the main zipper and across the collar.  To do this I had to take out a ton of stitching.  This exposed the brown and red mismatched pockets (note: this was one of the sample jackets so don't expect that with your new jacket).

                                          For the nip/tuck

                                          • shorten zipper 1" (from 21" to 20")
                                          • shorten hem 2" (back length went from 29" to 27")
                                          • the main zipper bottom split went from 3.5" to 2.5" (3.5" would have placed the zipper bottom above my jeans button and only a 19" zipper)
                                          • new chest pocket bags - suede outer and white cotton drill on the inner side
                                          • re-sew all the removed stitching, about 25 feet worth I estimate

                                          I want to thank Giles as he had provided some leather scraps with the jacket that allowed the new pockets to happen.  IMHO the suede pockets with the sewed labels from the liner really give the jacket professional look.  I tried to think what G would have done for an unlined jacket and only hope I came close.

                                          Post surgery results:
