Fine Creek Leathers

@popvulture yeah, bi-swing back is a game changer. My BR has it and it's the most comfortable and best fitting leather jacket i've ever worn. Thing is, it's a little loose in the sleeves, and it's not the highest quality (some of the panels grain vary significantly). The next size up, a 44, for this FCL Leon actually has larger measurements than my BR here,, but, the MadRed was the largest leather jacket i've worn, measurement-wise. Leather and lining have a large part too. I guess I'll just find out when the exchange shows up!

Man, I don’t think those sleeves look too loose! Good stacking. I can’t really see the biceps though so that might be where they’re looser than you like.

I think that judging by the pic of the 42, the 44 definitely won’t be too big. Psyched to see!

thanks dudes. cant wait. I'll def post a fit pic. and some details if its THE ONE

@WhiskeySandwich Types of leather also contributes to fit/stretch/settling. Deer stretches the easiest, then steer/cowhide, and then horse which has almost zero stretch. I have zero experience with goat leathers.

For jackets I tend to size with the type of leather in consideration and will size smaller or larger depending on that type.

I think this one might be on the money

@WhiskeySandwich Great pic of a perfect pick of leather jackets. Looks damn good!!

[WhiskeySandwich]

@goosehd thanks man! It’s still a bit snug in the chest zipped but these aren’t meant to be swimwear lol
I think it’ll relax nicely but may take some work. Love this leather! I can tell it wants to fade.

Still looks a little small to me, but if you love it and it’s comfortable that’s what matters most!

@WhiskeySandwich it's perfect my friend congratulations it looks great on you

@WhiskeySandwich Very nice. Great fit.

[WhiskeySandwich]

I think @sabergirl might be right, the issues is the chest area. The front between the pits limits my mobility. The measurement across the tightest part between arm holes is a good 2 inches less than my UHFs.

@Kasi

what size did you grab ?

[Hamza Yunus]

@Kasi MO, it Looks tailor-made for ya .. can't wait to see , if not denim-esque, fades on them.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Kasi looks sick man. i wish mine had fit like that in the chest.

@Kasi, let’s circle back later and see if Edward’s 50s jacket from Fine Creek Leathers can hold its own against the competition—especially against TFH’s 1.5mm Shinki horsehide double rider’s jacket. After all, 2mm thick Shinki teacore horsehide is to leather what a V12 engine is to the rest—V10 and V6 included. Sure, they might put up a fight, but let’s be real—this one’s mean, aggressive, tough, and loud enough to make your neighbors question their life choices.

Congrats!

@Kasi Now you are in the same boat as me.
