    Buying a xl or xxl 666 mywayman or anything similar to a lewis dominator

    Oh, wait, you don't want a Dominator? Depends on where you're located. Aero or Goldtop if you're in the EU. Addict is thought to get right in this size.

    Buying a xl or xxl 666 mywayman or anything similar to a lewis dominator

    What's there to recommend? Buy the original. https://www.lewisleathers.com/dominator-jacket-no-551.html Most knock-offs are marginally cheaper anyway and they're knock-offs and nobody wants to wear a knock-off.

    Question on Schott Perfecto

    I learned something new but honestly, I only ever saw these first on the Perfectos for Europe. But good to know, either way.

    Question on Schott Perfecto

    No, I mean, the USA made jackets made exclusively for France. There's nothing wrong with these jackets, they only have minute variations. One batch of the beltless Perfecto exclusive to EU had a lining pocket made from leather which is of course an improvement. As long as there's a "Made in USA"...

    Sleeveless Perfecto-style jacket/vest

    What @Aloysius says. Paying for a Cross zipper vest would be burning money. It is one of the simplest alteration you can make on a jacket. Simply buy the cheapest cross zip you can find and either cut off the sleeves or unsew them. Here... https://www.ebay.com/itm/205054272246 Excelled...

    Question on Schott Perfecto

    Aye, I may recall Gail mentioning this plus I've only seen these pocket labels on Perfectos on Vinted but... I don't really know.

    Question on Schott Perfecto

    Wasn't this done only on the jackets for the European distributors?

    Wise words to live by (jacket related)

    Yeah, I never met anyone like that, either. Women, same as men, want to show their partners off.

    Jacket Collecting - Ever ask why?

    I love clothes. I also love changing my style. Luckily, I realized that piling up on clothes that make up one certain style doesn't work for me as tomorrow, I'll wake up as someone else. Right now I'm at the end of the road and the fog is thick.

    How patient/disciplined should you be when waiting for a dream jacket to show up for sale?

    Dream jacket, as such, doesn't exist. The moment you acquire it, you wake up, realizing that it was never the jacket you were after but serenity. Peace of mind. Moving on. Doing that one thing that would shorten the list of the things that would make you a better person, so that you could move...

    Lost Worlds CHP HorseHide Jacket

    You're obsessing over nothing here and are making your life difficult for no reason. Not to mention the money you're wasting. 50 years old, budget leather jackets from Pakistan that have worn daily on a motorcycle, are holding up just fine so there's really no need to worry about a leather...

    Dating and restoring this Sears Hercules FQHH jacket

    Good eye. I thought the wear seemed artificial but I know they definitely haven't been doing that back when the jacket was made. Looking at it, the jacket might've been used as a movie costume. That's exactly how the distressing looks like. . .

    Dating and restoring this Sears Hercules FQHH jacket

    First, thoroughly wipe it down with a towel to remove dust, grime, etc. after which you might condition it though I honestly don't know what with as not much seems to do anything at all. Applying any of the grease based leather conditioners will darken it & considerably so by the look of it...

    Help needed: EMS/ USPS packages lost - Rainbow Country and Freewheelers items.

    I am so very sorry to hear about the lost packages (and I find it really strange that the post cannot figure out where it could've been left as just the list of deliveries from that day would've narrowed it down, especially in a small town). Plus it must've been someone near by since ideally...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I agree absolutely but the belt is deliberate. I love to ruin everything with some off detail.
