@SourPower hell yeah man that’s going to be awesome, bring back some of that air

@derek111 congratulations!....looks amazing, these jackets are so good
-
@derek111 man seeing this got me so hyped, mines in transit right now, Friday delivery, I cannot wait
-
For anyone interested in sizing, I went with a 42, which is the same size as my rough out chore. To no surprise, it fit boxy and a little big as TJ had mentioned it would, but after a day, things are already taking shape. This is after a bit of wear in the house for an evening and a dog walk. Really stoked on this thing.
Get outside, feel small

@derek111 looks good man
-
@derek111 looks so dope man. I got the same size as my chore also so hoping it works out. This just got me so stoked
-
@hgering27 hell yah, you are gonna love it.
-
@derek111 fit looks great, that thing is going to look even better with some wear.
-
@derek111 looks amazing! I am thinking about sizing, would you mind sharing your height and weight for reference please?
-
@tvaillant75 no problem. I am 5'-10" and about 170lbs with a 40" chest and long torso. All my current IH shirts are large from UHFs and westerns to CPOs.
-
@derek111 looks fantastic!…..and size wise they start off a little oversized, but shrink down to fit pretty quickly. I thought mine was too big at first, but now it’s spot on
-
Absolutely incredible jacket. So happy with how it fits. I knew it would be incredible quality, but the color in person is just insane. Can’t wait for the weather to cool down

Weather is starting to cool down (at least in the mornings) so I’ll take any chance I can to start wearing my chores

Quick update on my Y2/shop Vancouver chore jacket -
I have been wearing this thing a lot more recently......when I first got it, it felt slightly too big and I thought I had messed up with the sizing - but as Tj says in his videos, this jacket shrinks down to shape around your body, so it now feels great.
I was also a little unsure I could pull off a red leather jacket.....I loved the look of it, but felt it might be a bit too much for me. But I have to say, the colour and look of the leather has really grown on me over time. I thought it might be too bright, but as the base colour is camel (with the red on top) the colour is a lot deeper/rich than a bright red - and it is more of a sort of 'tomato' colour than London bus, which I love.....and little signs of the camel are already starting to show in some areas.
I have found the overall design just really works too - it has seven pockets in total (the hidden side hand warmer pockets are really great) and the bi swing back just gives more freedom of movement.....it is just a very comfortable jacket to wear.
Also I love the way it has a bit of a retro biker jacket look with the heavy zipper and bi swing back, but also (to me) has a bit of a retro 70s leather jacket thing going on at the same time (especially because of the uneven colour)......so it sort of falls somewhere between the two and I just love it more everytime I wear it.So anyway - I just wanted to say this one has probably become my favourite of all my leather jackets - it's very practical, comfortable to wear, but also has a lot of mojo to it too!
