    Himel Frobisher (positive)

    That was my dream 1911, remember when they were affordable years ago? Not all that much more than a Kimber So many rabbit holes. Watches, knives, guns, wallets, bags and the list goes on.

    Himel Bros jacket, 1st winter update

    Exactly!!!! Lurkers. Johnbuilder acts like everyone just registers and starts posting about jackets and then modeling them when they receive them to complete strangers. WE ARE A RARE BREED, we are ocd enthusiasts My statement has no facts whatsoever but when it was my time to look for leather...

    Your all time fav Leather Jacket (1-2) you own or have owned

    Amazing condition!!!! There is a 40 similar on a well known Japanese IG/site that are known to go for top dollar though. I'll never forget the first time I saw this color was on John Chapman's site. Rookie question: were these cream when new or white and darken over the 50 plus years?

    Himel Bros jacket, 1st winter update

    Yeah once you have been here and do the homework. You can see that price has very little to do with a great jacket. Sure you have Top Tier manufacturers like Freewheelers but you will see people just as happy in an Aero, Lost World, Schott, Eastman, Thedi, Fields, Vanson, and many members that...

    I was going to ask you because you are the undisputed expert on five star measurements. Your diagrams are very helpful. 5 Star is really a cool way to keep a hobby going without spending major cash and or upsetting your significant other if thats a thing with you guys with big collections...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I was thinking about one day in the future trying my hands at another 5 Star *edit*. Forgot to add that this would be based on my Cafe Racer! My idea is quite simple and will be an excellent example in price/cost va perceived quality and value. I would supply each and every measurement from...

    Field Leathers

    Please Do not make the mistake I did and buy into stitch count equals build quality, you will get just as nice of a jacket with any of the recommended makers on this board. ALL BRANDS have some flawed sections on some of their jackets, even the famed Japanese brands. When your jacket fits...

    Fits his style I think. He mix's it up if you look at his page but he has kind of a IV league kind of look I'm surely not describing correctly. But it reminds me of his Barbour jacket look. This one reminds me of that with a 90's like look. I probably would have gone a bit trimmer but he he...

    Stupid question but is this a complete new collar design for Greg? Looks reminiscent of a Bodie

    Field Leathers

    I know most don't like shoulder or back gussets but on some like the Beck 666 and some Schott jackets and the Bates racer, it adds something for me. In my humble opinion it is easier for a maker to leave it out, clearly less work. Some of the amazing vintage half belts and cross zips have really...

    I think the toys McCoy version would look great on you Aloysius, you could pull off a stock size if you found a like new one from a Japanese auction

    Field Leathers

    I would have to look closely at the original or the Toys McCoy Version for the throat latch. Definitely add a bit to the front drop Definitely close in the wrist circumference ***Front pockets**** you will notice the front pockets on the Toys McCoy version are slightly slanted, ever so...

    Celebrities jackets

    interesting is they are open to custom sizing. I'm not sure of the quality but at this price point it seems like a contender for lower price jacket or riding jacket

    Celebrities jackets

    Sure enough they do custom, they say to contact them. Their prices are more than fair in this age. $499.00. You know it's not going to be Shinki or badalassi type luxury leather but they say 1.4 mm cowhide. I wish Lewis had their price structure or I would have that Iggy jacket too

    Celebrities jackets

    Good to know. But they probably don't do size modifications though huh? Oh and @navetsea, funny you should mention Martini Racing, It reminded me of that too because I have an Alfa which they have a sponsor relationship with

    Himel Bros jacket, 1st winter update

    I'm really confused now, I thought stitching wasn't important again, But now he admits he understands the difference between clean work and not. So if I was Anthropology ordering, I would have received a well made jacket?

    Himel Bros jacket, 1st winter update

    The attacks continue He won't post pictures of my jacket but he posts these This is what you would expect a jacket that cost $2,500! To look like Instead you get this and a whole lot of insults
