Yes or No?

i think the idea is cool, but then it has to be a more of a exaggerated aesthetic and i think you could do it as you are on the thin side, thin trousers, LUC tops, as they are shorter anyways...take a leap forward for the taller crowd!

I agree with others about the wide lapels. Given your WAYWT shots, I think a slim lapel would be better unless you want that exaggerated look. Wouldn't you also need to go up a size from what the model is wearing and that might address some of the 'shortness' in the sleeves?

Thanks guys! Yea, the arms do look short and I'm guessing the model is anywhere from 5'10" on up and me being 6'3" that might not bode very well.

Is it a big concern that this jacket from obscur lacks the leather piece wich is usaly placed under the zipper on this kind of jackets (i think its meant to protect the garments that you wear underneath from getting stuck in the zipper or something?) does it bother you guys on the aestetical level? perhaps it would look slightly better when worn open if this piece was actually there

[dji]

the piece of leather you're referring to is there as a wind protector. it isn't on all leather jackets however it is on most F/W season jackets, and all RO leather jackets. personally I think that most leather jackets look better without one when worn open but it doesn't really bother me either way.

[sshum88]

I wouldn't be concerned if there isn't the extra leather under the zipper. The jacket doesn't look like it is missing a piece to make it complete so the overall aesethetic is fine. The jacket in your pic looks good when worn open.

it looks badass when its closed :). and doesnt all zippers get wavy after a while?

thanks for replies btw!

[ironman]

i really don't think all zippers get wavy after a while

but if you like it then go for it :)

[quiet noise]

well, it doesnt bother me too much :) and shouldnt there be something wich can be done to flatten it out a bit? like ironing the leather next to the zippers or something

[lowrey]

zippers dont get wavy themselves, sometimes when the material its attached to shrinks, the zipper doesn't and becomes "too long" and and wavy because of that. or it could simply be too long to begin with, it can be intentional or not. ironing probably wont help much, you'd need to stretch the leather for the zipper to sit straight.

[quiet noise]

Mike, what are you? some kind of bottomless well of fashion-oriented knowledge? but i suppose it will get better with wear then since the guy who wore it before me was to small to stretch this one out. Not that it really bothers me, but i was kind of concerned that it would get even more curly with wear

[lowrey]

I'm someone who has washed a zippered garment and ended up with curly fries

I've noticed it when sewing though, if the fabric is stretchy and its pulled a bit when you sew the zipper on, it will create the same effect.

quiet noise, is there an actual obscur retailer you're buying from? (sort of off-topic question, I apologize)

[quiet noise]

bought it on sufu, been searching for months but now i finally found someone willing to sell it for a reasonable price :)
