    Why did you sell your nearly new aero leather jacket(s)?

    waxed canvas jacket is not for everyone, now imagine waxed leather jacket, to me cxl is wallet or bag material and not jacket material, I think jacket materials should be dry leather that breathes unless of course you want it as "rain coat" just like its waxed canvas cousin. Perhaps their...

    Denim Jackets - New or Vintage

    how long to wait until you wash denim jacket? also how many wears out of denim shirt between washing? I've been wearing my light weight denim shirt for a week and a half now, but it still feel and smell fresh, I wonder if I should wash it anyway, but I hope for some creases fades a bit.

    Fixing asymmetrical collar on Real McCoy's leather jacket

    I hang most my jacket unzipped / unbuttoned so the time they spent hanging will also adding to break in the front panel to drape better, my goatskin and sheepskin is zipped on the hanger because they are thin, and i want to keep the area around the collar not fully crumpled.

    this jacket has no "waist" it looks barrel shaped torso, and it is designed for longer cut so the hem circumference is designed for hip size, when you simply chop it shorter you will have huge gap on the hem circumference toward your waist, unless you are built barrel shaped as the jacket with...

    honestly the jacket is too big on you. the waist looks huge, and when zipped there is still vertical dimple along the shoulder on the front showing it is also too wide across the chest, perhaps a size smaller will do better and also probably comes shorter by default.

    (Trigger warning) Are we giving too much credit for wabi-sabi/Japanese craftmanship reputation for uneven graining (especially in high visible area)?

    usually the grainy parts is naturally softer and spongy, but from the picture above both front panel left and right looks equal in its drape and creasing, so comeback to my previous suspicion, this panel seems engineered / vintaged through tumbling or washing or exposing to I don't know what to...

    Fixing asymmetrical collar on Real McCoy's leather jacket

    leather can be shaped when damp not wet, you can wet the leather, to somewhat reset the creases, and then once the wetness is reduced into dampness almost dry, then you can shape it like clay and the shape will stay

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    it like subtle fading, I don't like fraying on my own pants, I mend them before it happens, I can't be relaxed looking at thread unraveling on my pants, to me it feels like riding a bike with flat tyre or driving a car with broken headlight, it has to be fixed before being worn again, but I like...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I wear jeans because I like the fly metal buttons, and how sturdy they feel, but I also like other pants, even ripstop fatigue pants and cargo pants, but I mostly wear jeans because the same like leather, denim looks better with more wears, the creases look more natural, and the fit changes with...

    (Trigger warning) Are we giving too much credit for wabi-sabi/Japanese craftmanship reputation for uneven graining (especially in high visible area)?

    is this what called wabisabi? I thought wabisabi has to be achieved through using the item and accepting the changing nature of all materials, in term of clothes fading, creasing, fraying, and then mending them to keep them usable. just like repaired several hundred years old wooden pillar with...
