Title: Refit Leather Jacket?
Post by: Mac_48 on March 13, 2010, 02:22:04 AM
Hey Guys,

I went to try on my A* jacket today and it was very loose.  I have lost 85 pounds since summer and I really like this jacket, it is just too big.  Is it worth it to get it tailored to fit me again or should I just sell it?  Oh, and if I would get it tailored, where should I go?

Well, you'd want a specialty leather tailor - an one that knows moto gear. Barnacle Bill is one outfit.

But 85 is a lot (congrats btw) of weight down. It is possible that they won't be able to take in the jacket enough to get it to fit well... or at least without so much cost that it'd be better to buy a new one.

That's what - three sizes? four? you'd be better off selling the old and buying another one.

and congrats!

I mis-read the above as "get a new mate, keep the old as a trophy!!!"
