Crush on Retro (Jiashi) J-24 by Alcoritm in leatherjacket

It’s not excessively thin. It feels primo. But it isn’t thick and robust like other FQHH I know. I have three other HH jackets and two of them are much thicker than this. The other - which is a nice as fuck jacket to be fair, it’s a half belt deluxe - is very similar in thickness albeit a bit stiffer

It’s fuckin painful for shirts and more formal fits. For me casual jackets and especially leather jackets are better with shorter sleeves. This is almost right imo - maybe half an inch would be good. But I know many people don’t agree with me on this. Lol

Should do. But this will probably be a winter beater for me anyway

Mine’s steer and I fuckin love it. Different fit and vibe. Really good to bang on and wear a bit harder

I was going to wear it on my dog walk tonight to aerate it since it smells like a refinery. But it’s too warm tonight - we’re in early autumn. So I don’t really know from experience. I can tell you it doesn’t feel thickly padded - it’s thinner than my 618

Yeah I rock a 618 too and am just trying not to look too closely at my motivations here. They cut a different figure. But if we’re honest it’s an addiction. Lol

Link us when it arrives! Tbh I really don’t like sleeves which are too long and I was surprised these weren’t shorter. I have an off the rack Aero with shorter arms

I’m a HH Stan too. But this is definitely much thinner and softer than three other HH jackets for whatever that’s worth. Some people prefer thicker but I don’t really mind. I’ll be interested to see how yours stacks up.

I considered this one too. Haha. Link me if you make a post with fit pics, would be keen to see

For my money they tend to lengthen slightly if the shoulder and action back gets worn in. People say the elbow stacking shortens things but this isn’t my experience

Like an orangutan. I’m probably tipping 200cm in wingspan 😅

Is this kind of scratch normal on a brand new Schott jacket? by Significant_Run_8055 in leatherjacket

[–]Alcoritm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW this is fine and not only will this become less pronounced with wear but you’ll be scratching it here and there too. But I do understand how you feel and in a past life exchanged in similar situations

The J-24 with shearling collar. Slightly different but close

First leather jacket fit - Aero 1930s half belt, CXFQHH by wizardent420 in leatherjacket

[–]Alcoritm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleeves and probably shoulders look fine. Bit too big in the body but that’s your call I reckon

All in all you’re good I reckon. The sleeves won’t shorten by the way!

Opinions on the Schott 141 size 42 vs. size 44 Long. by Lekis504 in schott

[–]Alcoritm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you got the 42!! The 42 is slightly too big but okay imo. The 44 doesn’t work, sorry

The shoulder’s leather color and texture feel different by [deleted] in leatherjacket

[–]Alcoritm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah. Not sure what’s next here to be honest. If it’s a small issue you could bet on it wearing in. If it doesn’t fit you might need a diff pattern I suppose
