    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    If the goal is to reduce patronage, the strategy will likely succeed. Not sure what to make of the lack of input from the Mods. @Peacoat ? @Edward ?

    The increased volume of advertisements are unbearable! I will gladly pay money to eliminate the ads.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    In a word, yes. That said, given my well established preferences, I am far from the best judge of such matters, so take my opinion with a hearty grain of salt.

    TB does not have any Thedi cross-zips in stock in my size.

    Wearing leather jackets in the rain

    I guess I am the contrarian, but . . . I'm not saying its wrong or harmful, but leather and rain do not mix in my personal regime.

    Cross zip nation

    That was the first cross-zip I tried on. I knew beforehand that the FH would not fit because of the unusually wide shoulders. Hence the reason I wrote "predictably, . . ." I would love to, but there are no local RMC retailers. Does anyone in SoCal have a RMC cross-zip in a 42 or 44 that I...

    Cross zip nation

    I don't need the sleeves to cover half of my hand. That said, I don't do sleeves that expose my wrists. I think that looks terrible. I like the JH-1 . . . with the significant exception of the belt. Moreover, I am not willing to spend $2,500+ without trying it on first, and risk an...

    Cross zip nation

    Funny you should say that. There is a Badalassi Hooch for sale right now in the Classifieds that I had contemplated -- even reached out to the seller. However, the seller just revised his measurements and, what was perhaps too large is now likely too large. :(

    Cross zip nation

    I went in with an open mind, hoping to find and purchase a cross-zip . . . and I failed miserably. Two weeks ago, I tried on a Double Helix cross-zip at SOP. It was way, way too short and did not fit well. I also tried on an Addict cross-zip at Butterscotch. The leather was too rigid and the...

    Fine Creek Leather

    ^ This x888 I have tried on 6-8 different FCL models. Only one fits me well -- the Tyler. The others are either too long, or too wide in the shoulders, or too narrow in the chest, or a combination of the foregoing. FCL definitely employs a more modern cut and, for the right frame, the fit is...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Gorgeous home and countryside. I lived in St Gallen for five months, right around the corner from Appenzell.

    Fine Creek Leather

    @Monitor , I genuinely respect you, but the foregoing is simply not sound logic. FCL made a design choice to employ wider sleeve ends on this model and certain others. I personally do not care for the wider sleeve ends and, therefore, I narrowed my sleeves. That said, wider sleeves ends are...

    Fine Creek Leather

    ^ This FCL jackets are well made and incorporate top notch leather. The FCL Eric is very long, with very wide shoulders. It also has mismatched panels. Doesn't work for me.

    Freewheelers Mulholland (Spartan Leathers Sportwear Repro)

    The Spartan label created by FW was clearly derived from the Trojan label. The similarities include: (1) a Greek soldier wearing a helmet in the same location on both labels; (2) the Trojan label appears to state "Largest Factory to You in" and the Spartan label states "Highest Factory to You...

    Most great artists are not appreciated during their lifetime . . .

    I just read @jonbuilder ‘s new post wherein he describes his newly acquired vintage deerskin jacket manufactured by “WM Gallagher Co.” in Fenton, Michigan – “The Deerskin Center of Michigan.” I have never heard of this company but, based on @jonbuilder ‘s post, they made a fine jacket. This...
