Pic overload love this jacket.

Like the contrast between the 777s and the jacket.

Such a great looking jacket and you wear it so well @twin. From all the ones you've posted, this might be the best looking one imo.

@pechelman I like this one a lot. Went for a walk in the park this afternoon.

To remember the beautiful season (winter), one of my favorite jackets... Fine Creek - “Harris” in Shinki Produced Japanese Vegetable Tanned / Aniline Finished Horsehide 🤎

@Luijim78 Great jacket. This is the one I will buy soon for this winter. What size is yours?

[Luijim78]

@twin Thank you Sir, it's a size 36, it has a slightly slim fit (I usually wear a 34/36 in other brands). The leather is truly gorgeous, it drapes over the body from day one.

Can anyone with a FC Virginia Beach in 46 confirm the chest size P2P in inches? Are they really only 22.75" wide? Thanks!

I’ve been half ass shopping around for a new jacket ever since my run with the Mad Red, and it’s led me to the FCL Leon Custom. Anyone have anything to say about it? It seems like there are multiple versions of this jacket. Self edge shows 1.5 mm leather with cut off belt and epaulets with leftover snaps. Rivet & hide shows a 1.3mm cleaner version without the cutoffs.

[Luijim78]

@WhiskeySandwich yes there are different versions of the “Leon”, this one with shoulder pads and cut belt is the “Leon Custom”. Last year a special version came out in 1.5mm Shinki leather, they also make heavier ones in 2mm or lighter ones in 1.3mm and it is still an amazing jacket that ages very well. I usually wear a 34 or 36 in Perfecto but with their jackets I have to opt for a 38 because they are quite small. Congratulations my friend it is a wonderful choice

[WhiskeySandwich]

Well this mfer is sick but it is wayyyy small for a “42”. Love the hell out of it tho, so gonna see about a 44. Hoping even that fits with a tee, let alone a hoodie. The 1.3mm leather is a perfect weight and has an amazing finish and construction. Pardon the shit photo, but I had to make fun of myself in the tiny jacket. I’m 5”11” and about 175lbs. The chest and shoulder is crazy tight. I think an extra inch in those spots along with .75 in the sleeve would work. The forearm and elbow is super slim too tho, so we’ll see…

@WhiskeySandwich You need the next size up.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@twin absolutely. Lol I hope it’s not two sizes up!

My Fine Creek VB. jacket is a size 44 as with the Flat Head 44. Fine Creek fits tighter then the Flat Head.

@WhiskeySandwich
you can find measurements at rivet and hides product page , maybe that helps.

[WhiskeySandwich]

I poured over measurements for a long time, comparing to the leather jackets I already have. Some of the actual measurements on the one I received were a bit smaller, but I should have gone for extra room anyway. The sleeves especially were an inch under their chart and are very snug on the forearm. That and the chest will make a huge difference, the rest I’m sure will break in

[WhiskeySandwich]

I'm also curious how the leather will relax and accommodate the wearer. My chesticles often feel constricted by garments that are otherwise 'my size'. The only leather jackets i have experience with are definitely a boxier cut. I guess the question is: how slim can you actually go with an out-of-the-box leather and still keep a full range of motion?
