    Fitcheck Fine creek leon 44 or 42. Which one should i choose.

    Like others said - sell both jackets - even at a loss and I won’t even bother with altering either - you’d end up with something even less sellable and end up selling even cheaper and with the money you paid for altering it you’d be even more out of pocket… So even more reasons to sell them...

    Removable mouton collar construction

    Thank you that’s good advice!! I got a piece of mouton pelt, plus a piece of Horween steerhide (as backing) that should be enough for two mouton collars. I may just aim for one universal for straight zip jackets, and one universal for a cross zip jackets with come with much wider collars. I’ll...

    Removable mouton collar construction

    Thanks for that tip! The mouton I want to make is for a Vanson Enfield I just got. It will be my winter jacket! I know what you mean re aero collar - I tried to wear a beanie hat with my aero jacket collar stood up - and it did press into my neck - quite uncomfortable I must say as I couldn’t...

    Real Mccoy J-22, Mouton Collar Fits

    Hi I’m trying to get a mouton collar made for a cross zip jacket. I’m interested in how your Buco mouton collar is constructed. Would be amazing if you could post some pics of the underside of the mouton collar and where it’s connected to the jacket collar. Thank you in advance

    Removable mouton collar construction

    Hi guys I’m about to commission a removable mouton collar for a straight zip with medium size collar. I previously thought about replicating the construction of Shangri-La collar, as in pics attached. I do recognize two short falls with this construction: 1) there are only 3 points to fix...

    Mouton collar maker in UK

    Hi guys Thank you for your help above - it is appreciated. Since I posted, I’ve actually sold my aero HWM, and bought (and subsequently sold) a Shangri-La Varenne with removable mouton collar. I took lots of pictures of the collar construction and the throat strap. I’ve exchanged a few...

    Worlds heaviest denim shorts - Soso 33oz cut off shorts!

    Thank you for the compliments! I’ve seen that awl on YouTube and may well get one. I usually use two saddle needles to do saddle stitch. The cut offs are amazing fabric. What I plan to do is - and I bet this will sound strange - is to sew inside pockets for my jiujitsu gi so I can store a gum...

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    Could some of the Vanson experts help me guestimate when was this jacket produced and which tannery is the HH from? Still a little damp I worn it out for the first time tonight doing grocery shopping. The leather is so stiff I struggle to reach for my seatbelt behind the shoulder! It weighs...

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    The model E on the back is perfect for next weeks chill in UK. I’m the opposite - 1 in 1 out - only the chosen ones get to stay in my wardrobe ;)

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    Wow that’s a party!!

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    Thank you! You’re right despite of the large/wide back chair - this morning there are signs of bumped shoulders. I’ve spread it back as it’s still very damp and now wearing around the house, and getting laughed at by the kids!

    Vanson Enfield HH - fit and collar fold line

    After a lot of elbow grease to feed the jacket, clamp the collar and left in in a dry room on wide back chair, the collar appears now fixed and up wearing it (still damp) around the house today to speed up drying with body heat! Leather looks and smells new the feed worked great!
