Funny, how different the colour of the leather can look, sometimes light blue, sometime turquoise, sometimes deep indigo.

Looks great whatever the light. Just make sure Mr Turquoise @Oaktavia never finds out where you live

I'm sure there is an ocean between the two of us.

Oh I've been eyeing that jacket down for some time now it's gorgeous.

This with your IH bag will be another level.

I would definitely rock that look…but that is a bit out of my price range for now.

Wow, what an amazing color.  You pull it off effortlessly!

love it! I remember oohing overing TJ's vibe with that colored leather and his Greek fisherman cap. cool dude. Color looks great on you! I love a good color that works just as well with black/gray comvos as it does with brown/blue combos. At least that's how I section off colorful pieces in my wardrobe.

still a bit chilly here for just a type 3, but with the 22 it works.

I love that blue color. I was able to personally see TJ’s jacket in Gosport and the only thing comparable is that indigo IH horsehide vest that made an appearance at the party several years ago.

The only issue I had with the double helix jacket was that the length was pretty short.

[mention]endo [/mention] were you able to import it into Germany without getting slammed by customs?

[Daniel San]

Good question DrPat , guess it was a desaster

@Daniel:

guess it was a desaster

not really, all solved by the deliverer, import taxes 116€ for me

HI Gents - Love the look of that jacket! I’m about to jump into the leather jacket world and really like the denim style versions by either Fine Creek, Y2 or Double Helix. I was curious about sizing though in a leather jacket. I’m a slim guy around 5’11” but weight 140. I typically wear an S in everything without it being snug, but I’ve never purchased a leather jacket before so I’m hoping to get your advice. I know leather doesn’t typically drape so something big can just look ill fitting. I took my measurements and they are
Chest: 36” around my body
Shoulder: 17” across
Back 22.5”
Sleeve: 24”
Waist: 32” around my body

I measured a type 2 style waxed jacket I have from Freenote cloth that has a thin blanket lining. I like the fit of it, but that being said, it is waxed cotton, and not tight. I’m not sure how the fit would translate into leather. It’s measurements are:
Chest: 20”
Shoulder: 17.25”
Back: 23.5”
Waist: 18.5”

The measurements seem to match up to a size 38, but maybe it would be too boxy in leather? I’m worried if I get the torso correct the sleeves and back will be too short?

Thanks for any helpful insights…unfortunately I don’t have access to a store to try these jackets on in.
