I've learnt of Talon here in TFL and if you point a gun to my head I would not be able to tell you why (or if) Talon is better than YKK. Meanwhile, I did know of CXL and that there's different kinds of leathers and tanneries, so I don't even understand why would they focus on the zippers when...

Yeah, I can see some differences, specially in design/aesthetic choices (which to me makes Vanson the most different out of them), but I meant as in differences that unequivocally makes one jacket better than the other (or justifies the price jump at a glance).

I honestly don't get the hype when I see RMC or Rainbow Country, on pictures I fail to see much differences with the equivalent jackets from Aero or Vanson that are half the price... But indeed seeing it on someone moving, it does look far better, it caught my eye immediately. But hey, perhaps...

I started the second season this week and I've come to this thread precisely to talk about this! It totally caught my eye how good this jacket looked.

I'm interested, but if you truly want to offer a different perspective, I believe you should go ahead and publish your review publicly here. I've seen people pointing out mistakes in items of all prices, but in the end I think everyone was fair when it came to the balance among price...

I'm not the most stylish (or at least not when it comes to fit a consensus or a traditional way or whatchacallit), but I'm planning on wearing my Grant Stone Diesel in #8 to a wedding in a couple months along a blue suit, so I would personally consider it stylish. I think you can get close to a...

Could you share new pictures then? Looking at the ones you've posted, I would had said that's your best size without going custom, as I think the shoulders, length and sleeves are the right size but the body could use a bigger size (Edit: Maybe not? The back picture doesn't look as tight as it...

What does "special price" mean? Was the deposit only partial rather than full price?

I'm a believer into special circumstances having special measures. I see where you come from if you pay someone and after 9 years you're still waiting, you may as well say goodbye to your money, but at the same time, most makers I hear of around here are on extended lead times and it seems to be...

Lunch and grocery shopping Sunday on a Spring weather sneak peak

I mean... If only it was the leather jackets the only thing where prices went up yearly, I would be quite grateful.

Different kind of question: Any leather and/or denim shops to visit in Italy? I go every year, this year I'll go to Milan and Naples but I plan on (re)visiting Rome, Firenze, Torino and virtually anywhere else there. It'll be good to shop around in between eating like a pig and seeing monuments...

That looks great, I never thought I would be jealous of a one year old jacket, but here I am!

Thanks! I don't (want to) consider cracks, grain or creasing as patina, but I'll share if I see any pictures. I've seen people both here on the Classifieds as well on Ebay announcing jackets "with amazing patina" that to me simply looked old, I just didn't share them in the moment and just asked...

Looking sharp! Hopefully soon I'll be able to share as well :D
