Daily Life at the Nagoya Store (Part 5) What is the appropriate size for a leather jacket?

That's right, even though it is limited to 500 units, it is based on a commercially available car and has over 300km on it!

On the Autobahn, Mr. Bike is amazing, as expected.

Please don't be influenced and go too fast.

I'm more interested in cool custom bikes than speed.

Well, I guess it's true that riders who drive safely on public roads are the coolest.

Also, if you are involved in an accident, there is a way to fall skillfully, and I think people who can do that are cool.

Yes, there is. When you fall, sliding smoothly causes less damage than rolling around.

Isn't that kind of cool?

Hmm, I wonder if it's cool or not...

The definition of "cool" is different for each person.

That's right, it goes back to what I said about how it can be worn throughout the year when paired with an inner layer.

As you may have already noticed, a tighter fit is generally better.

That's right, wearing it tightly definitely looks cooler.

Yes, but that's why you need some room if you're going to wear an inner layer, so isn't that a bit contradictory?

I understand, I understand.

So first, before I explain the contradiction, let me tell you the benefits of wearing tight clothes.

To begin with, leather jackets don't flap around much when you're riding a motorcycle, and if they fit snugly they further reduce engine vibrations (there are various theories), which makes you feel even less tired.

Also, since it is less likely to develop unnecessary wrinkles, you can enjoy aging in a cool way.

Aging refers to the change that occurs over time, and that's the joy of wearing a leather jacket.

Shirasawa

That's why I'm worried.

When we hear the word "roomy," we might imagine something loose and oversized, but what we're talking about now is something about one size larger than the tighter fit.

The advantage of the loose fit is that it's easy to mix and match and can be used even when not riding a motorcycle.

So it's not that something that's loose is uncool, but rather that a snug fit is more of a sensory issue.

This overlaps with what Shirasawa said about how everyone has a different definition of cool.

Either way, there are benefits.

First of all, if you clarify what is important to you when choosing a leather jacket, the answer will become clear.

Ultimately, it comes down to looks or practicality.

・When wearing ATLAS-2 size L. (Tight fit)

・ATLAS-2 LL size (slightly loose)

・When wearing ATLAS-2 size 3L. (Oversized)

I see.

Hmm? But I understand that they make suggestions based on the purpose...

Of course, this is only true if it fits within the definition of "cool."

For example, even if there is someone who wears an excessive amount of clothes, it doesn't solve the "contradiction" that it ends up making them look bad, does it?

Sharp perspective (sweat

Yes. But it's not just cool, it's also easy to use from a biker's perspective.

Just like the "definition of cool," there is a balance between appearance and practicality, and ultimately, preferences are different for each individual, so rather than giving the correct answer from the seller's side, it is important to take such information into account and give advice so that customers can wear the item stylishly.
