    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    From the other day, a vintage 1930s H&L Block horseshide and sheepskin barnstormer:

    Think you're man enough to handle a BarnStormer flyboy...? No wimps allowed!!

    Another vintage barnstormer in, this time a 1930s H&L Block, again in chrome-tanned horsehide. This one and my unbranded one both feel and smell very similar; the only modern horsehide I’ve come across that smells like this was my old Lost Worlds Ryder, but these vintage ones are a bit lighter...

    Have you slept in new leather jackets to break in?

    No, but maybe some (not me) can volunteer do the Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling in their new leather jacket?

    Is this insane for denim or am I out of touch

    Pretty much any specialist denim repair shop like Denim Therapy will charge less than that, never mind your local tailor (though they likely can’t do chain stitched hems). As nice as the Unsung guys seem, their boot repair prices are pretty high too, but that seems to be the general trend.

    Great Leather/LCS repair Dena is AMAZING!!

    Thanks for the info guys; who’s the next best thing then, Johnson Leathers? Or are they only repairing their jackets?

    Great Leather/LCS repair Dena is AMAZING!!

    Just sent one of my vintage barnstormers for repairs to Dena, main thing was replacing the mouton collar and trying to fix loose lining behind the button holes. After remaining me saying she’d start on it soon she promptly mailed it back with a note saying sorry, I couldn’t help. Personal...

    Does Your Jacket Stand Up?

    My old Lost Worlds Ryder in horsehide used to; sitting down while it was zipped up was comical and had me looking like this guy:

    FS: Vintage 30s-40s horsehide barnstormer sz. 38

    Hi all, For sale is a vintage 1930s or ‘40s FQHH and sheepskin barnstormer in very good condition, especially the mouton which is almost perfectly preserved. This is tagged as a boys’ size 20 but fits like a men’s 38, just slightly too small for me, which is why I have to move it on. The cuffs...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    From the other day, vintage roughly 1930s horsehide barnstormer, torn mouton and all; I’m sending this one to Great Leather soon for repairs: Dorky shot of the back:

    Think you're man enough to handle a BarnStormer flyboy...? No wimps allowed!!

    Just received this vintage 1930s half-belt ‘barnstormer’ that needs some work, especially the damaged mouton and lining behind the front buttons, but is otherwise very wearable. I’ll have to send it to Great Leather to get it up to speed I think! Not sure if it’s entirely FQHH; panels under the...
