Great! I have been hooked on GS since 2004.

@Molle Alas, not on IG. I save that rabbit hole for others.

Oh shit, it arrived...

Been trying to decide on the perfect first leather jacket for a while, and when I saw this in Re-Loved I just had to...

In my mind, the fit is perfect, but as a piece I plan to have for a lifetime, I'm down for second opinions!

@T4920 It's perfect for me, well done!!!

[doubletee]

Perfect

[twin]

@T4920 Fit is spot on.

@T4920 I assume this is what you were talking about the other day. Looks great - as far as I can tell shoulders, arms, body length are good and there’s room for more than a tee underneath if you want it. How does it feel?

[jiminstitches]

@T4920 Yep great fit

[Giles]

Personally, I prefer a slightly tighter fit on a TIII, BUT 99 out of 100 people put on a bit of weight as they get older, so as a lifetime jacket, perfect.

I have a load of expensive lifetime shit I bought before I knew better, and none of it fits now - including some very expensive bespoke suits (not that I would wear them now anyway).....

[T4920]

@ARNC feels like that I've peaked style-wise, and that I'll never own a piece of clothing that make me feels as good as this does...

When I saw the measurements on Re-Loved product page I thought it was absolutely inch perfect for me, and wearing it out this evening confirms this

Most expensive garment I've ever purchased, but I have zero regrets.

[T4920]

@Giles my lefty Type III is slightly more fitted, but I struggle to button it up top to bottom...
Probably more aesthetically pleasing, but I'd take the extra comfort and manoeuvrability that this gives me any day of the week!

[Giles]

Yeah, my view was my personal view and can be completely disregarded

[T4920]

@Giles respected nonetheless, would never disregard the opinion of someone with so many years in the game

[T4920]

Also, no word of a lie... Last night waiting in the queue at McDonald for some Chicken Selects, I had a girl 9 years younger than me ask me if I was French, give me her a number, and call me Daddy whilst whilst wearing this jacket.

I have never been hit on so blatantly in my entire life, and can only put it down to the undeniable sex appeal of Horsehide.

Awful picture for reference, she demanded we took one together

[ARNC]

@T4920 great! Maybe regrets are for what you do on nights out not what you wear on them!

[T4920]

Got caught in heavy rain for half an hour wearing this earlier, was able to literally shake it dry when I got into the office, and absolutely no water has seeped through to the lining.

I'm completely new to leather jackets, so maybe this is normal, but I was very impressed.

Did a better job of keeping me dry than my Ventile lined IH M-65

@T4920 this was not the first post I was expecting to read when I loaded up the forum this morning glad you're enjoying the jacket mate

[T4920]

@AdamJ haha, yeah, that was a fun night...

She never text me back though, a jacket can only get a man so far I guess

She never text me back though,

Maybe next time, don't start your text with "Hey, it's 'Daddy' from McDonalds with the black leather".

[T4920]

@EdH such wisdom... this is why you're married with a child, and I'm buying chicken in McDonalds at midnight I guess
