    Horsehide jacket care

    Do absolutely nothing to it except wear it. The biggest mistake most people make with newer leather jackets is conditioning them too much

    Thanks! I really scrambled to get it. Maybe nobody else was going to grab it quickly, but I wasn't going to take the chance. Thanks! Very excited to get it.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    That Taubers is nice too, we were just continuing a conversation from a couple pages ago. I guess that's how these threads go sometimes. It does make things confusing. Yeah I'm quite excited to get it. Might take a bit of time as the seller is at Inspiration Japan so they won't ship it for...

    Are you referring to the Taubers with the blue lining? I bought the Sears Topline

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Thanks! This thread has gotten me several great jackets. Late 30s-mid 40s aviators are my favorite types of jackets and my favorite leather color is mid-light brown so this one could not be any better. Plus the design is absolutely beautiful and unique and the condition was a big selling point.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    @AerGuitar very nice work! I was goong to ask what the jacket was because it fit you so nicely and then I scrolled down and saw that you actually made it! Very impressive. A couple more recent fits: Dark brown jacket is a 40s Windward and the light brown is a late 40s Sportclad

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

    Yeah its not as clear in that photo. Hopefully when I get it, I'll be able to provide more detailed photos!

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

    Thanks! I'm not sure. I wouldn't expect that as the hair has been treated. It could still happen though. Yeah I'm a fan of them obviously. I'm excited to get it!

    Thanks! I've been pretty lucky with finding so many vintage wool jackets in a year and a half

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

    It does indeed. I've made too many mistakes with custom jackets. It's mid brown Shinki horsehide and the fur panels are natural off white cowhide panels I supplied myself because I didn't want any brown speckles in the cow fur.

    My most recent vintage wool jacket pickups. The burgundy one is dated to 1939 thanks to @jeo but I don't know the maker. The brown one is a Sears Hercules thanks to info from @tmitchell59 and I think it's from the early-mid 40s

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

    This isn't wabi sabi. Especially in Fine Creek's case, they really try to make mismatched panels on purpose on some of their jackets. That purposeful mismatch is not wabi sabi at all. It's basically a weird marketing ploy. I personally dislike it quite a lot. While I own vintage jackets that...

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

    My first "new" and custom jacket for quite some time. Just needs the buttons on it. Should fit well. I had Himel make it very short like my J22, though not quite as tapered due to the different style of jacket.

    Is this acceptable for a 1st quality Schott?

    Definitely not an issue. Enjoy the jacket!
