    Patina or Damage?

    I wonder if the black tinted Pecards would darken those spots. Only if they bothered you though They advertise it as a subtle tint versus a heavy black shoe polish type, I saw some pictures where it seemed to leave the patina

    Himel Bros jacket, 1st winter update

    I'm blocked too, i didn't post anything but he wasn't in my feed so I searched and nothing. Customer service is everything, anyone that has looked at google reviews can see that for the most part, businesses have a polite scripted response for complaints and those that retaliate against...

    Himel Bros jacket, 1st winter update

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say that rarely do you see a "beat ''em up himel" Infact you can scour eBay, grailed and the classifieds here and notice that most are barely worn. These are $2,650 jackets, the vast majority are not going to abuse something like that. Just a few that will...

    Himel Bros jacket, 1st winter update

    I should've just left it alone like Aloysius said but no turning back now The only reason I didn't do a dye is because I read somewhere that soaking a zipper in dye could possibly loosen the teeth. Now obviously there are so many variables brand, material, type of zipper that this is not going...

    Himel Bros jacket, 1st winter update

    Were those videos on dyeing light threads some kind of contingency plan? I'm afraid we will never know. I actually have a couple of those markers, I bought them to dye some vintage zipper tape. I didn't think of this until you mentioned that but it seems a whole lot easier than using dye...

    Himel Bros jacket, 1st winter update

    I will definitely inspect things further from now on, also I will buy from people with a respectable reputation, there are so many. On top of that, Mr Proper said something that was wise, tell the manufacturer what is important to you so that you can see if you can click together, something like...

    Himel Bros jacket, 1st winter update

    Should have but I was in denial partially, partially not wanting to be a nuisance, partially not looking at it enough because of summer weather, partially due to my inexperience in handling this level of garment. And a big part to initial reaction to having s jacket that fit my frame, I've...

    Himel Bros jacket, 1st winter update

    What gets me is this whole handmade thing, given I am a novice and don't actually make things according to his words but I'm not sure there is a jacket company that uses automated robots to sew leather jackets. Then he Turncoats pun intended and now says his jackets are made to beat up and...

    Himel Bros jacket, 1st winter update

    First I want to thank everyone for the support, even the guys that were questioning my reasoning as is your right. Clearly I waited too long to come forward, obviously I gave a multitude of reasons, I did forget to mention that I received the jacket in summer time and i didn't actually wear it...

    Field Leathers

    If you can't find someone to take the picture and no tripod. Try placing your phone on a coffee table or countertop and brace it with something. A crude but effective way

    Field Leathers

    I used to think the Vicory leather was aniline but when searching for pictures I saw that it was unfinished on the inside. There was a picture of a jacket being made on VJF. So they must have spent a great deal of time painting, airbrushing or whatever they do to give it that mottled look...

    What are the makers that DO NOT 'skiv their leather or use glue'?

    I'm very interested in sewing my own clothes, shirts are so baggy around the waist that I would like to give them a better profile. Don't get me started on length, if you get a large or xl T-shirt they look like dresses if you're under 6 feet tall. I'd like to be able to wear an xl shirt with it...

    Field Leathers

    On screen, in person could change my outlook completely. For instance, I would choose the unknown cowhide Fields carried over the brown Shinki by the color (on the screen). It has a nice chocolate brown, seems rich where the Shinki seems very dark and flat. That could also change seeing them in...

    Grizzly Jackets: A Fedora Lounge Guide

    Amazing jacket here, has the 1930's talon grommet zipper and is that an original lining in that condition? How this Fur stays on defies logic, I would have guessed that the fur would shed before a patina could form on the leather.

    Field Leathers

    Very true, seems all the vintage were chrome tanned and pigment dyed. That's why I mentioned that I'm not against pigment and there are so many nice brown pigments. My seats in my car are brown leather, pigment ofcourse. Now after looking at all these amazing leathers, my seats look somehow...
