    Heavy weight denim crotch wear

    I had a pair of 26oz jeans and the crotch wore through pretty quickly, but so did some of my lighter jeans as well. It's mainly based on sizing, Thigh size, and how much you wash your jeans. Heavier denim is certainly overhyped in terms of durability. Sure, it would protect you more than 11oz...

    Any experience with rainbowcountry #deerskin i havw come across this all state #deerskin

    Y up, That deerskin is thick, but very supple and gains very nice depth and a sort of sheen as it ages which I love.

    Why do thick leathers keep getting recommended?

    Couldn't have said it better myself.

    Why do thick leathers keep getting recommended?

    It was the caffeine, but you're probably fine. I'm just u lucky. Oh well, selling it was how I bought my Seattle Woolen.

    Why do thick leathers keep getting recommended?

    Bought completely on my own. Not sponsored at all. I actually had to sell it recently due to medical issues related to caffeine sadly... also really hope that was not a serious question. When you watch my youtube videos, i always make it obvious when something was gifted for review and all the...

    Why do thick leathers keep getting recommended?

    He's the poster child of what a lot of people don't like in the scene and that'd my point- a lot of us amekaji guys who are being painted with the same brush as him dislike him more than people outside the scene ever could because he makes us look bad. Case in point: this thread. People are...

    Yeah that happens to basically everyone. It's annoying, but you get used to it.

    Why do thick leathers keep getting recommended?

    I appreciate the kind words about me. I try to be as informative and helpful as I can be. Amekaji just means "American casual" in Japanese. If you know the history of it, then you'll know that a very large amount of clothing was born directly or indirectly from the Japanese revival of American...

    Why do thick leathers keep getting recommended?

    Yup that's very true. My deerskin jackets were actually quite thick, definitely thicker than any HH jacket I have personally owned, but soft as can be. A very important distinction. Stiff leathers do have their place and I love some nice tunneling, but it's not the end all be all.

    Why do thick leathers keep getting recommended?

    Ah ok that makes a lot more sense. In that case I'm fully on board with you. I do like some Shinki, but when companies go overboard with the teacore, it ruins it IMO. Plus I like a soft leather at times as well. Deerskin is absolutely lovely.

    Thanks! Yes I would love that. I will dm you. Much appreciated!

    Why do thick leathers keep getting recommended?

    I utterly disagree, but there's zero point in discussing that here publicly. It won't get us anywhere. I didn't realize your views were that judgemental and reductive.

    Why do thick leathers keep getting recommended?

    Totally fair. I may have been too harsh in my comments. I wasn't trying to be and if so, I apologize. We are overall on the same page for the most part I think. We may just have to agree to disagree on the level of negativity which is fine. And again we do agree on the whole tea core garbage...

    Any experience with rainbowcountry #deerskin i havw come across this all state #deerskin

    If that is indeed the same or similar deerskin that Freewheelers use (also made in the same place as rainbow country) it will be glorious. Fairly thick, but soft and comfortable as can be. It also ages nicely and develops more of a sheen and depth of color over time. As already stated, it will...

    Why do thick leathers keep getting recommended?

    That's actually not totally true. In fact, id say its mostly incorrect. Most or the people who favor super thick leather in these parts are not part of that scene at all. Most of the cxl Aero love came from this forum with denim nerds being more into Japanese and vegetable tanned leathers. You...

    Thanks! I'm sure we will. Plus I think my upper level leather jacket weather is some peoples' t shirt weather.

    My wife and I are going to Ireland and London this June and July, so jacket weather just got a nice extension for me :cool: A couple of 40s jackets

    Will your new jacket ever look vintage?

    In my case, it is flaking slightly in some areas, but I also just think it's ugly.
