A2 different contracts

[B-Man2]

So let us know what you decide on.....

 

[London Cabbie]

Size 42 Platon Dubow.

But

In the meantime to tide me over, from Ding Dong in Hong Kong.



Well as a Cabbie, it would be rude not to...

 

[B-Man2]

Hahaha.... good one!

 

[ausreenactor]

All of my sizing has been through trial and error. No ELC or Aero outlets down under.

 

[Brettafett]

I think you'll find you could very well have nailed a sweet-spot jacket on your first go.
Almost everyone, self included sized up on Platon's (and BK's) Dubow. I tried a Dubow 40 a few months back and it was way too trim on me. No way I could have worn it. Thank goodness I went up to a 42. An almost ideal fit!
Did you go seal or russet? Looking forward to fit pics.

 

[London Cabbie]

I felt it would only be polite to go seal first. Russet will be next, then BK Seal with berry red cuffs after that, jeez this forum is terrible. I’m here watching Taxi Driver and getting ready to order a Bing Bong from Hong Kong Travis Bickell‘Tanker Jacket’ Thanks guys
Actually big thanks for all your knowledge and advice...

That’s why this forum has been so helpful...

Don’t say you weren’t warned!

The Buzz Rickson 'Taxi Driver' tankers pop up on Yahoo Japan all the time. Probably cheaper than a brand new one...

Some people, and I totally include myself, should not register on forums ...
We come to have information to buy a jacket and we ended up planning to buy three ....


... to begin.

Could be worse.... You could be drinking a bottle of scotch instead of bouncing around in here. Consider the forum a health tool?

 

[Serghei87]

Quick question: shinki vs Liberty HH vs Warhorse ELC? Which one do you prefer and why?

 

[ausreenactor]

I only have a Victory HH and ELC. Both are great but they are completely different.

 

[D97x7]

I don't have any Shinki so can't commit, I understand it's rather nice though.
Here's a couple of pics of Liberty and Warhorse, both very nice leathers as well. The two with russet are Warhorse, one having had the timeworn treatment, the A-2 is Liberty after around 4 years wear, I like it a lot although it does seem to get a bit of a bashing and I can see why. As for which I prefer, tough one, both are good and not owning a russet A-2 yet I can't compare totally, the non timeworn does feel a little heavier than the other two, but that may just be different batches of hide. So in all I like both and would be happy with either.
Which is no help at all, sorry.

Edited as it's the timeworn not 50cal treatment.

Does it count if you do both...?
