metaljesus Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 I'm going to order the one with the brown one with the hood but contact them to ditch the hood and give me a stiff high collar on it instead. The lapels kind of flow right round wide into the hood, they dont go into the collar, so it will be interesting to see how this works if they can do your request.

Clum Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Can't wait to get mine, think I might've bought the size too small though =/ But sounds like they're pretty good at giving an exchange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clum Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Anyone else's brown hooded one arrive yet? Mine came today but the fit of hood doesn't seem right, seems to have too much material so it hangs low. What are other people's views?

mactower Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Post pics! I'd be interested in seeing how good the leather really is. I really hope it's not some cheap bonded or bi-cast leather... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totalwise Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 I bought one, I found it not to be symettrical, and when worn with zip open, I found that one end would stick out more than the other. It looked really bad when I was walking and saw my shadown.. Also because of the enven weight on the collars (one side being longer than the other, and the longer side having the heavier buttons).. One swide of the collar would stand and the other side would lie flat. So I returned it. I exchanged it for This was worse, the fit was terrible, the neck was too big and the jacket dropped down too low, covering my jeans pockets. Not exactly a "biker look". Then I got a refund. The quality of the leather is fantastic, but I think the tailoring may be a bit off.. They do a paticularly bad job of modelling the jackets, they put on a very tight fitting jacket on the mannaquins, which a normal person wouldn't wear, and when dressed on a mannaquin you can't really see the flaws as you would see worn on a person. They have some nice designs I like the look of, but I'm shying away from ordering because of my two bad expereinces last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metaljesus Posted April 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Ah that sucks. Mabye I've been lucky with my jackets. Couple of notes though: - The designers they copy make their jackets asymmetrical, its meant to be like that. In this photo the zip is clearly not symmetrical. - Again, with the designers they copy they make jackets that are to be worn very fitted. I think i wear mine as fitted as they are seen on the models in the photos. Thats the whole point of super soft leather, isnt it? I havnt tried either of the styles you got, but both mine sit right on my belt when im wearing jeans. If you pay an extra 50 quid they will make things to your measurements, so that could help. But then if you've already tried two you probably wouldnt want to risk another 200 pounds ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in real life it was far more pronounced and always seemed like a flaw than a fashion quirk to me. Maybe I'm just too conventional for this little eccentricity. I wouldn't mind if it was like the brown jacket and was supposed to be unsymettrical, because it was so obvious, but the one I had looked like a flaw. I thought I'd given up on these jackets, however bought another one I like this, the once I receive looks different than the one pictures. Based on the jackets I had and returned, I've noticed the differing quality of leather, I've had one in lamb skin and two in sheep skin, the lamb skin is very thin and almost feel like it could be fake because I've never seen leather so thin, the sheep skin is a bit thicker and is denser in appearance. I have reason to belive that the jacket pictured is lamb skin, but they actually give you sheep skin. I've noticed that they took off giving the leather name in the spec, All in all, I like this jacket, and will be keeping it, and buying some more in future.

totalwise Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 question for you guys, does the look and feel of these leather jackets change over time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metaljesus Posted April 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 The brown one I posted an image of has kind of cracked a peeled a little, it happened fairly fast over the first month and has since settled down. I quite like it because it makes the jacket look vintage. This happened because the leather had a very unsealed finish to it, whereas the black one I posted is more sealed/treated and hasnt changed at all, which is great because I bought it for more formal situations (going out to dinner and such).

Mr Clark Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Sweet jackets. So, should I, or not. It seems we have 2 opposite views on that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
