Looks great on you @Marc2706 !
Fantastic DH model that I've also been eyeing for years... Enjoy wearing it!

Can I get a fit check on this Gold Digger. Been eyeing it for ages but couldn’t decide on the size. Went with a 42 here and I gotta say, it’s roomy but I don’t think I’d be able to even move in a 40. Here are some quick and dirty photos, happy to hear some thoughts!

@BalticBob me personally think it looks great, it will shape and form more to your body after some consistent wear.
Some horsehide can have the feeling of “shrinking” because of the folds, creases and shaping to the body. So going too small to begin with is usually not the way to go with heavier quality leather jackets.
Just from my experience Looks great, and will just continue to look better with time!

@mecken88 Thanks! I wore it this afternoon and it's super comfy. This leather is really nice right out the box compared to the horse hide on the Y'2 I have. That was really stiff at first!

[Marc2706]

@nomadic thanks a lot! Congrats to your type !!

[Marc2706]

@matt_rost Thanx a lot Matt! I also have been eyeing it for a year or more. But finally I am very happy with the decision..

[Marc2706]

@BalticBob I agree with @mecken88 , the size is looking perfect to my opinion. With jeans jackets I wear size 40, but with this jacket 40 was too tight and 42 is now perfect. And you also can wear a thin pullover under your jacket in the wintertime.

@BalticBob shoulders look great, arm length great. I even think the chest looks great. So after some shaping, heavy wear I’m guessing it’s gonna be perfect

@goosehd Ive a 40 year old (!) Langlitz jacket that rarely needs treatment

[Darth-fader]

@BalticBob yeah, you are better off starting with it slightly bigger because it will shrink and mold to your body, especially if it gets wet.....so I think the sizing looks good

[BalticBob]

Thanks for all the feedback! I still haven’t taken it off it’s so nice!

@Marc2706 congrats man, looking forward to seeing some Evo on yours!

Edit:
Dog walks just got way better!

[Marc2706]

After some days of wearing it becomes really softer. I thought that it takes a much longer time..

[Marc2706]

4 weeks later and the jacket fits perfectly , like a second skin.

@Marc2706
what a beauty
I really dig those rolls on the sleeves, the Nitta leather from DH is just awesome. thick but soft and creates stunning rolls and creases.
better than shinki from my experience

[FlavourFade]

@Marc2706 absolutely beautiful jacket man

[Marc2706]

@Daniel-San happy that you like it too Daniel. I also love these rolls on the sleeves. And it is not stiff at all. I thought it is more difficult to break it

[Marc2706]

@FlavourFade thanks a lot!!!!
