My ROTLA special with mods
I got it last week and have done a couple of things to it.
I'm happy with the fit.
I took out the shoulder pads, added a little distressing and traded the D-rings for tri-glides.
Let me know what you think
Thanks
Phil

Looks great. I really think the cut of the sleeves on this jacket look especially good. Of course I'm bias since I own the same jacket.
Anyway have you had any issue with your sleeve lining creeping past the sleeve since the pad-ectomy? I'm having a slight issue with this and I'm experimenting with putting a few tack stitches to keep the sleeve lining from ridding lower at the shoulder than it did with the pads.

Not rectangular loops, triglides. They are like the loops with a bar in the center and the tension holds the strap in place really good.
I took out the pads myself, I have some sewing experience. There is a small strip of fabric that is attached between the shoulder seam of the lining and the leather and if that is cut the lining will definatly slide down the arm.gladd96 wrote:Looks great.

I know the difference. What I meant was that it doesn’t seem like a plastic triglide would work. Also the Raiders jacket that was examined had rectangular loops. The argument for a triglide has been based on blown up fuzzy pictures. If you are saying “screw it, I like the triglide period”, then I hear you.

Sorry, I misunderstood your first comment. Yes, I kinda like the triglides better, mostly because the strap faces back wards and only passes through the buckle once. It holds very well, way better than the D-rings.Rundquist wrote:D-rings for rectangular loops I understandbut. What's to keep your straps from slipping right through that plastic buckle?
