@Darth-fader holy geez

@Darth-fader Amazing. Good find.
-
@Darth-fader AWESOME jacket. Love the Cherry color.

Hey @Daniel-San , how’s that 1mm tea/core doing? How’s the chest room on that one? I’m thinking that may be my next try since the Leon isn’t really working out.

@WhiskeySandwich
yes I thought the same as sabergirl when I’ve seen your pic .
the 1mm shore is awesome and has more room along the torso for sure. But I think it’s not so cool for riding a motorcycle.
what about the double riders jackets from Y2 or Double Helix or the flat head ? They are more roomy than the fine creek and the bi swing makes them more suitable for riding in my opinion.
But if you just want a awesome leather jacket I can highly recommend the shore.
Maybe TJ from the Shop Vancouver can help you finding the right jacket . -

@Daniel-San word, thanks. If it fits and is comfortable I’m sure itd be good for everything I do on/off bike.
Any testimonials as to how these fit whether steer or horse is appreciated. Arm slimness? Shoulder dims? Armpit fit etc? Real world experience never ends up in the product description lol

@Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot Great combo

Ended up going for the 1mm Black Chore in a size 44. Hoping this works out better than that FCL Leon. In hindsight, idk why i didn't go with this first cuz i've had my eye on it forever. The measurements on the 44 are damn near the same as my XL UHFs, so it should work out fine. TJ at The Shop has a few videos about how horse breaks in and it looks like all of his worked like shrink-to-fit lol. I didn't know about this, could end up pretty dialed. super psyched.

@WhiskeySandwich
I sized up on the shore because I wanted to have the opportunity to layer. first it felt a little big and boxy , but it starts to mould pretty fast .
here’s a little teaser

@Daniel-San cant wait man! Has it seen much rain? "Shrunk" much? I plan on wearing the hell out of it, i do ride in the rain and that seems to be how TJ gets his break-in fit. I'm afraid it'll be too big just because its size 44. The chart is on point tho with a little bit over in the shoulder. I'm 5'11" 175lbs, which is smaller than TJ but my chest and shoulders are bigger, and i have orangutan arms.
-
@WhiskeySandwich Fingers crossed for you on this one. I watched the videos about this and other jackets only last night. It definitely looks to be almost oversized out of the box, but settles in nicely.
-
@Mister_Brue yeah looks hella awkward at first. measurements are key tho and as long as there's nothing super wonky about it, I'm sure it wont be baggy fit. This is going to be a fit-by-feel, not by look i think

@WhiskeySandwich For sure. I’m stoked for it to arrive too.

@WhiskeySandwich
I had not much chances to wear in the rain, but 2 or 3 times I did . It definitely changed the fit even it was not completely wet. seems to be the gamechanger for most horse hide jackets in general. I’ve red about a guy soaking his horse hide jacket in a tub of rain water and then wear it wet to set the creases and mould .
hope your sleeves are long enough , they get a good amount shorter with wear. -
Fuckin UPS with their duty tax payment glitched out and failed. Of course thats not what my bank thinks. Now I have a pending charge and unpaid duty tax.
