bummed i missed out on those YMC perry’s, i think they had a B6 at the time as well, both for a good price.

i’m having similar probs doc, i can only assume he’s incredibly busy.. he usually gets back to me eventually but it’s been a little while this time. Hoping everything’s okay.

i think the longer zip version is the better looker.. aero will also add snaps instead of pocket buttons which i think is a good look..

the jacket looks brilliant, who is the artist? i'd be interested in having some work done myself..

id guess at 1990's myself...

Grant's jacket has me wondering if i should get my next A2 from BK... or should i play safe with Eastman.. hmm.

go on then just for a bit of balance, if it was me i'd give it a hot/warm soak in the bath, let it drip dry then wear it until dry... no dryer!

I liked having Platon on the forum and considered one of their A2's for a while back then. Now Platon's not here anymore i wouldn't even consider them to be honest.. though if what they say is to be believed, their hides are excellent ;-) As has been said already customer service is very...

For me, yep. I found Buzz and Eastman very itchy, Real Mccoy less so but i'd not wear it against bare skin, the itch would drive me crazy!

just took a look at JC's Electra Earhart Jacket.. thats pretty much my perfect ideal of a leather jacket.. want one :/

sad news both of you :-( Best wishes in tough times.

hey John i meant Dennis's M444 :-)

great fit on the M444, how are you finding the wind flap? it always bugged me a little on mine, it made wearing the jacket unzipped a bit… flappy.

mine did shrink all over and would shrink significantly more in the drier i'd think. Do beware of the alpaca though, mine was very soft and luxurious pre wash and much rougher afterwards.

had a look at the pic, fit looks spot on. I cold washed my RM N1 and had a little shrinkage, the alpaca was never as soft afterwards either. If i was doing it again i'd get the size up to account for shrinkage.
