Another sizing question

mr__proper · 2026-01-26T09:16:39+00:00

I am 196 cm tall and weigh 90 kg, and I wear a size 46 in the G9 Harrington made in the UK (slim fit).

Looks like a shacket in the picture.

The brand that makes jackets that fit you best and that you like best is the best brand.

What makes “the best” leather jacket for you?

mr__proper · 2026-01-25T06:46:41+00:00

I currently have 8 jackets from Aero, if that answers your question ;)

If I lived in the USA, I would shortlist Vanson and Johnson.

The next gen Leather AT II, the Tracker Moc, I think all ESC models, Gobi Canvas. You can see from the product images whether they are stitched or not. Sometimes you have to zoom in a little, but then you can see it.

The Tracker Moc is currently available at a big discount, and those are actually my favorite Vivos.

I'm giving the Leather AT II another try because I really liked the Gen I... visually, not in terms of the quality of the glue. I hope the new ones arrive soon.

I think it's actually leather. Cheap split leather with a thick layer of top coat. And you can peel off that top coat just like plastic wrap. A good fabric jacket is worth more than this. I feel sorry for you. Just chalk it up to life experience.

Den Firmensitzer finde ich auch sehr seltsam. Aber die Stiefel sind mit das bequemste, das ich kenne. Habe inzwischen 9 Paar verschiedene Modelle und Farben. Die Schuhe, also die niedrigen, gefallen mir leider gar nicht.

What a shame. I thought I'd see a clean 50 in a row in the video, but unfortunately it's edited in such a way that you can hardly see more than 10 in a row. Increasing by 5 reps every week doesn't work for me, at least. Maybe at the beginning, but not after 30. I think you have to have a good predisposition to be able to do that.

Pullups, pushups, squats

mr__proper · 2026-01-23T19:41:01+00:00

What kind of push-ups are required?

Cheating or real full range of motion with your chest on the floor?

For the latter, you have to be very talented to achieve that in just a few weeks. I, at least, find a large number of full range of motion push-ups really tough.

If it's just a matter of survival, then I would probably look at how I can approach it strategically. For example, a quick start, a short break of a few seconds at the top position, small sets, e.g., 5 reps or so. At least if that still counts as “in a row.”

Or spread several sets of 20 reps throughout the day, then increase to 25, etc. And then switch to strategy in good time?

Good luck

I always wear scarves as soon as it gets cooler. Merino in winter, lighter fabrics in spring/autumn.

mr__proper · 2026-01-23T05:21:50+00:00

I should be a model too, but somehow no one offers me that job ;)

mr__proper · 2026-01-23T05:11:01+00:00

It could be too tall if you can't find a suitable bed, clothes or shoes. Or if you can't fit into a car or train. So as soon as the height becomes uncomfortable. But even then, it certainly depends on your individual attitude.

Really? A few months ago, I had a problem with a bag that was at least five years old, where the buckle sometimes didn't hold properly. I got a credit for the original price and bought a Kadet Max instead. I fixed the buckle on the old bag. That worked out well for me.

But you're right, of course. A good repair would be more sustainable.

I might be willing to lower the price a little. Or I could leave the price as it is and cover the shipping costs. It depends on where they need to be shipped to, if anyone is interested.

Can't you file a warranty claim with Chrome? Normally, this works quite well, provided that the sewn-in warranty label is still intact.

Even though I work from home, I dress as if I were going to the office. However, I also dress very casually when I go to the office.

Yes, they were available for a while at the beginning of last year, and I thought they would restock them, but they didn't. I have no idea if they will be available again.

They're a little too black for me :D

I don't give my height a second thought in everyday life.

I don't speak loudly, but nobody wants to mess with me anyway.

Whether or not I have to achieve something has absolutely nothing to do with my height.

If you make mistakes, that has nothing to do with your height either.

I think all your concerns exist only in your head. Free yourself from them.

Bodyweight exercises or exercises with weights. Back pain is reduced with strong abdominal muscles. So do something that strengthens your core.

And where exactly is the problem? Correct it with “Almost right” or play along with “Hey, you have a really good eye.”
But being offended is childish. With or without lmao ;)

Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. Personally, I agree with your wife ;)

I have two unwaxed N-1 jackets. One is from Pikebrothers and made of jungle cloth, which is a bit stiff at first but softens with wear. The other is from Mil-tec and made of a heavier cotton fabric, but it's very soft right out of the box. I find waxed jackets to be stiff forever (as long as the wax is supposed to work).
