Went a little crazy this week since I got a new job. Just received this Double Helix Deviant in my usual size 42. Anyone else thinks it looks a size too big? I could layer a hoodie underneath comfortably.

Also coming next week: ELMC Californian in Havana Brown, picked up during the ongoing clearance sale.

Looks fine to me. Leather looks thick and probably better to have a little more room or you'll feel restricted.

Trying to decide if this is too big. It measures out massively for a 44” and the back feels a bit sloppy, especially at the shoulders.

It’s a shame because I love the color and it’s a beautiful and thick chunk of split hide.

Thanks for all the responses folks! The leather does feel the thickest out of all my jackets but wears comfortably because of how soft it is. Very luxurious feel.

The pictures don't show that it's also roomy at the lower back area. The jacket only has about a 2" drop from chest to hem. The sleeves are also a little roomy for my taste. I agree that the pictures look pretty good but I certainly wouldn't mind it fitting a little closer.

It's my first cross zip and I'm still experimenting with the style, and I got it for a good deal so I wouldn't mind passing it along to someone else here. I'll mull it over but may offer it for trade/sale in the classifieds in the future.

I appreciate the comments!

Decent fit for everyone else; not so good for your standards.

That jacket is not you at all…

Yeah I have, had and sold better suede’s no doubt. It’s one of those horse shoe jackets that I can’t figure out if it’s close enough or not. Wearing it…it feels big so it’s likely going to eBay. Already licking wounds with a denim 70’s Penny’s type 3. I have jeans from this era. “Plain pockets”. It’s great stuff.

Deus Ex-Machina jacket. I have just recieved this jacket , new with tags
Sold new by The Deus Ex machina store in Sydney Australia.
I got it on ebay Australia
Lovely soft leather, lovely leather aroma, Well made and nicely lined
Downside ? tag says "genuine leather" and made In India
Looks to me like perhaps a copy of a Lewis leathers jacket commissioned by that Sydney store.
Upside ? Cost 149.95 Australian dollars delivered to me.
That's about dead on $100 USD
What do you guys reckon to it ?

I have two leather jackets coming in the dead of summer! Masochist! Both from Montgomery Ward.

The first one is a very low-end but fun-looking 1970s piece in excellent condition. Only $25? Sure, okay, I’ll bite!

The second is my fist proper investment piece. Not sure why this steerhide Windward lingered so long on eBay - maybe there’s something wrong with it that I’m too much of a newbie to notice? It is a female size (20) but I can’t see anything about it that’s different from a male jacket and the measurements provided fit me so I made a fair offer and now it’s on its way. My first leather from a “classic” brand.

The interior is what first caught my eye - very inviting!

Happy summer folks. If you’re like me, you’re counting down the days till jacket season…. (over on the hat side we call it “fur felt season”, but I am slowly converting… ).

Might be a boys jacket, judging by the absence of back gussets? A women's jacket would have had the zipper to the opposite side.

A boy’s size would make more sense to me and I didn’t think of that. I was also wondering about the absence of an action back. I have no idea about boy’s sizes - if this is correct, then a 20 must on the XL side.

The seller didn’t provide shoulder measurements so that’s the one worry, but it’s free returns anyway.

(Edit: I did some research and there isn’t a lot of definitive information about child’s sizes - all the charts are pretty random about how they size things but they do all agree that sizes 18 or 20 are the largest sizes. So yeah, I think this is a child’s jacket. Will be interesting to see what it’s like. Thanks again for the info - if I had known this prior to, I probably would not have bought it so maybe it’s good I didn’t know - I was wondering why it wasn’t selling when it was rather inexpensive.)

Is that a Mulholland just laying on the floor? Lmao. I know it's fine there; it's a leather jacket, not a bone china tea set, just funny to me is all. Especially considering how prim and proper the others are stored.
