    Field Leathers

    The Route 66’s he made more recently for himself seem to fit him amazingly. The stand collars are shorter and the neck hole seems more on top of the shoulders than in front like a dress collar might be. I don’t want to highjack the thread talking about other manufacturers but I was asked a...

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    Standard & Strange had a 30% discount around Christmas that was emailed and of course it excluded most or almost all expensive or desirable products like leather jackets and boots and brands like RMC, Y2, etc Checking for mistakes, I threw a few items in the cart to check, they forgot to remove...

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    I was just going to say that but was unsure the purpose. Is it for cleaning? I imagine it would be easier to clean a lining with warm soapy water with an open lining and using a bath towel behind the liner to keep the leather dry. i

    There is a seller on EBay who has quantities of most major vintage zipper brands but I can’t tell you if he will have the exact one, but you can attempt to keep it close. Hopefully someone can help you with the zipper replacement, I’ve seen some mentioned but not sure if they can install them...

    Best Leather Gloves?

    Looks like someone just starting out in business. Randomly came up on Instagram, they have a Facebook too. No stock though and made to order. I wonder how he gets the fit right. Wallets look cool too. I respect him for doing something different because there are so many people doing the exact...

    Best Leather Gloves?

    These 0-hide horsehide gloves from the Netherlands look bad ass to me. A little more gothic hellraiser Frankenstein than the traditional elastic gardener roper.

    I talked with this maker on Taobao and they are very friendly, very expensive for a custom build (1,800$usd) They speak English but obviously there is a Language barrier. I know they make accurate representations but my question would be if they worry about sleeve attachment, rotation, and...

    Is this Japanese jacket based on an actual vintage design?

    I don’t know if anyone else has love bug season where they live, but it’s better just to stay off the bike. Not my picture, but I can get exactly like this. The acid in their bodies will eat the paint of your bike or car

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

    Crazy how the elastic holds up after so many years, clearly that jacket hasn’t been babied. It will be cool to see it after you treat the leather

    Thinking about Lost Worlds.. thoughts, experiences?

    Value aside, I can say I appreciate that Lost Worlds offers a range of different prices depending on what model you choose. It’s clear different styles take more or less time to make along with material usage. So in theory a fan of Lost Worlds might still be able to own one of the more simple...

    What's the difference between these two capeskin jackets?

    Eastman has a great reputation for A2 and flight jackets on the other forum, they Even have made jackets for historical war movies. I guess it comes down to whether you need custom sizing modifications which bill kelso can offer. But I will repeat what people warned me of, you might consider...

    Field Leathers

    Greg/Field Leathers announced they intended to fill ALL outstanding orders for brown pony Shinki Horsehide. So did you specify this color from the beginning? But like Marc pointed out, being aniline this stuff varies like crazy, another small maker has access to brown pony but recommended...

    Field Leathers

    Ok I think I understand, it looks like the increase you made will help with everyday movement and not feel so constricted when reaching forward. I did read a few times here that LeatherTogs had a wider shoulder and it seems like the “back girth” measurement you noted, which allowed them to no...

    Field Leathers

    I did give him the basic generic measurements but seeing how detailed you are I feel I was lazy. I also see that even a jacket with the same shoulder width can have more or less movement depending how the sleeve attachment is, the inset? I will now take photo measurements like you just showed...

    He said he has some tricks from making a jacket for another muscular guy, any tips you can shoot my way Mr Proper, I am all ears. Depending on diet and gym time my deltoids can get very rounded, you know how it is. The Kensington seems to have rounded shoulders but they are also slightly too...

    I caught that clip on IG with your name on the pattern, I figured it was this. I can’t wait to see what he comes up with, it’s one if not my favorite jacket design That old LeatherTogs would have been amazing for his design, then you could have kept it as memorabilia, interesting conversation...

    Field Leathers

    He really has a signature look doesn’t he? Between the pointed shoulders which remind me of a suit like navetsea said, I know some would rather them rounded but I’ve grown to like them and I’m sure they will round a bit with lots of wear. Then you have the stitching, which is not only closely...

    It sure would except for the sleeves, I hate being on the shorter side, even the Kensington sleeves at 25” are a little too long but I make it work. I have to calm down anyway besides virtually no winter in florida, I have 3 jackets on order. My wallet does not like this forum

    One of the cleanest vintage j100’s I’ve personally seen without the $2,500 price that a similar one has been available for about a year without selling. It says best offer hopefully someone can score a deal...
