got my jacket and shirt.
I like it, it is growing on me.
My magic greeble tubes are going to be ready Monday.
I think the leather just needs to relax a bit from being shipped.
BTW Im right right under 6' and am about 185 lbs. Hope this helps people. there is some room in the arms if you are a bit more buff in the bicepts.
Update. Got my tubes. Now for some paint

Hi Danny,
Mine arrived Saturday at my office. Picked it up on Sunday. Since then, only casual examinations so far but it looks real good. I'm no stitch counter!
Love the fresh leather smell! The leather is less heavyweight than expected but looks and feels great. More of an autumn/early winter jacket rather than for extreme cold wear. The cotton lining is stretchable to some extent and looks like a thermal-type material, though I doubt this. The two styles of inside pockets are a nice touch.
Sadly, I seem to have missed out on the hand-warmer pocket on the outside.
The magnets pull away quite easily and won't really keep the jacket closed. Cost and size may be a factor here. I might replace these but that would require picking out the stitching or cutting the leather. Risky.
Being a short-arse, I'll need to take up the sleeves perhaps three inches (if I had them altered the 5-6 inches they really overhang, the sleeves would end up halfway up my forearms when lifting my arms). I should have specified a sleeve length as I didn't realise that was an option looking at other orders on Page 1. Or maybe I can try the Raider's arm soaking trick to shrink the sleeve a little? Anybody have any other suggestions?
The XL is a comfortable fit on my 48inch chest. For me, best with a t-shirt and/or a very thin jumper. Shame there was no XXL option, which probably would have been perfect.
Danny, how easy would it be to retro fit that newly discovered pocket to the jacket? (I like putting my hands in jacket pockets - even if it's only one!)
Also, the blu-ray image of the TFA BTS shows that the second panel is open along the top. Is it as simple as undoing the stitching or it is not worth it?
Overall, I'm very happy to be one of the owners of this jacket. Based on price alone, this jacket is unbeatable.
If I can get the cuffs shortened I may post some pictures later.
Thanks very much, Danny. I chose wisely.
NB: just been having a closer inspection of the jacket. The right sleeve has two imperfections... one is a nick/scratch on the main right arm panel. And on the top rear panel there are two small surface splits. Will these be a problem one day? This may have been there when it was dyed as the undersurface leather is a very dark brown. Any suggestions for a cure? Thanks

Mine is missing this option as well. Not a deal-breaker for me, just an observation.

Thank you so much for your detailed comment! About the leather, I hardly think there will be any problems with it, if you want to confirm please send me a pic of them in an email to take a closer look, but since it's aged leather it may have small imperfections just because it's aged. Sleeves shouldn't be a problem, you can simply take it to a tailor and get them reduced, should be fast and cheap. I did mention that the magnets wouldn't be very strong since we couldn't find small magnets strong enough to hold it in place but if you're taking it to a tailor you can always ask the best way to add those in case you find ones you like, I think probably making a small incision on the back, sliding them and gluing the leather back together. If you need any further assistance please contact me and we'll work together.

Even worse is the thin, odd textured leather, open weave lining, comically weak magnets, and the steadfast refusal of Danny Lopez to discuss returns (with the straightforward comment "...I don't normally do refunds").
My XL jacket is on sale in the classified forum, where it puts the "junk" in "Junkyard"
EDIT: Hmm, since a 16-year member (and former Admin) can't post to the Junkyard anymore, I guess I am stuck with a XL jacket, cotton lining which I would just as soon throw in my dumpster as look at again.

What size did you go with ? I'm 5'8" and 188lb with a 40 inch chest. I was thinking a medium would do well.

I believe I got a large, same for the shirt. You can double check with Danny. In general its a nice leather jacket. I made some faux greeblies to put in the slots as well. I don't have my chest measurements with me. I can check at home. The only thing I noticed was there was room in the upper bicept, Im about average but you have some guns, you can fill out the upper arm nicely.
About the comment above. Wakal. 16 years of free forums? Why not just pay up for a month to sell? It's like 4 dollars. You should have handle this through PM. See if Danny will make it right.
I've done my share of bitching on forums....
I see a lot people nit picking this jacket. This is not the 501st, I think this gets the job done in quality and in looks great for the price.
If you need to be legit to a T and approved for whatever reason, payup for the Magnoli.
And all of you know the price got you here.
I'm one of the first to pay and waited a long time. I am happy with my purchase. It was also a good practice with patience.
There is a lot instant gratification MFr's here. It also seems to be why I don't come here so often anymore.
