@Sam/IH:

Here's mine. Size XXXL

Wow!!! Classic!!! Thanks for the pictures!!!

[ROman]

No problem. It's a nice jacket, heavy, soft, and no struggles with the buttons.

[rohitsingh]

pretty tapering tho, very much like good old riders pretty tempting too, I am somewhere between ecto & mesomorph so not sure @Giles how about 40% father's day off just kidding!!!

My eyes on you … never know!!!

@Winchy:

Here are the pre and post measurements of the sample 101J i've been wearing for a while….it's an XL.

It's just had it's first wash since the initial soak so i'll grab some more measurements and photos and add them soon.

Thanks a lot, that will be interesting and helpful!!! BTW do you find this tapering a lot, I am not that flat belly

[Winchy]

It does taper but it doesn't bother me, despite my beer belly, as I rarely button it up.

The fit of this jacket is not for me (I have a lefty trucker), but the pics you guys have put up are great!!

[Dion]

It'll be very interesting to see how the buttons age on it.

[Max Power]

@Winchy:

Here's some great shots of mine (thanks @Axel) along with some 'just about fits' pics….

Very nice @Winchy ! How long have you been wearing the jacket?

[Finkster]

Top-notch combo and Jacket  @Winchy

[Max Power]

Awesome jacket! Did try it on yesterday and found XL too tight and XXL too loose. But I envy you you can pull it off so well.

[Winchy]

Yeh that's the TWSH-08; a real favourite and the ideal weight for this time of year in the UK. I think i've had the 101J for around 6 months….give or take. If I tried to do up the buttons the fit wouldn't look too good!

I love almost everything about it, but the deal breaker for me is lack of pockets. I actually ride a motorcycle, and as a "rider jacket" you need those hand pockets. Thats where you keep your phone and quick access stuff. The breast pockets are usually just for show, I never use those pockets. Just seems odd to me that anyone would want a denim jacket with only the 2 breast pockets. Before you say "well thats how this jacket style was originally" I know, and my point still stands.

[twism_23]

^ +1. I agree, that's why I went with the 526L. I do like the style of the 101 as well though.

[rohitsingh]

Same here, I love this 18 oz, wish this had hand warmers!!! But I still want it, if this stays for a while  !!!

[rohitsingh]

Here are some pictures of orignal around 12 oz, we have 18 oz best denim here, front is identical, back side stitching is narrower moving down, with corozo buttons  in original!!!
