Ahh. Thanks!

Yes, thank you, I know that. Superb jacket distributed in Italy and France also effectively in the 90's. Made in the USA also at a time when Schott did not let anything be done by European nominees. Today "LC" Schott is a disaster, it seems to me, for the image of the brand... With a few rare exceptions.

A few years back Schott European was doing some really nice non-leather garments. Shirts and jackets.

Hercules HB. Trying to see if this is a sleeve length I can live with. Everything else is spot on.

I think it looks good with the shirt cuffs taking up the space for the lack of length in the jackets sleeves. Would an " extended" storm cuff look silly on this style of jacket? I've had similar issues and thought it might work if tastefully done?

Stunning and–most crucially–perfect fit. I read a review here or elsewhere by someone lambasting the poor patterning of his A-1 when it was clear he'd sized wrong and that was why.

You nailed the sizing.

Going to agree with Aloysius, that's a cracking fit. I also get the impression sometimes people struggle with the fit of A-2 or A-1's yet don't acknowledge they're not supposed to fit like a motorcycle jacket. A broad shoulder with a little drop, enough room in the chest and straight and clean through the waist. Perfect.

Back to the JWM cruiser.

I wore my 80's wranglers sherpa trucker some yesterday before being called in for an unexpected shift.

Thank you, A1 is probably my favourite type of leather jacket. I agree the fit of A1 and A2 is unlike a single riders or cafe racer jacket fit.

LW Leathertogs. Quick lunchtime ride. This things absolutely keeps the wind off the upper body.

Running some errands with the boy. Nice day for the Oakbrook Satin Twill MC jacket and Stetson No. 1 (40s). Thanks @AbbaDatDeHat
