    High Rise Jeans

    I look for denim chinos. I have pairs from Dickies and the fancy J Crew brand. I also search for y2k Old Navy “worker” jeans.

    Which ones are these? I have a pair of Yardboss jeans from the first round, and they’re great!

    I sold mine because I thought it looked better in a hide with texture. The buffalo was my favorite.

    Gotcha! Can you describe your issues? Maybe another style would work better for you.

    Mto cafe racer jacket suggestions

    I truly believe that buying a new CR is a waste of money. If you can wear off the rack sizing, there are thousands of vintage and gently used ones available. You can’t improve on the style by trying to re-invent something. The vintage ones are just cooler with some use.

    Take charge- be adventurous and daring with your clothing choices! There’s no need to be boring, plenty of others dress like they can’t be bothered, desire to hide, or merely blend-in. Don’t be afraid to take a chance.

    Is acrylic topcoat necessary on newly dyed leather?

    I let it dry completely (like a week or so), then I use conditioner on it- some color will come off. Buff it with a cloth, and finally I finish it with Blackrock which is basically carnuba wax. You could use Urad if you like a shiny finish. After that, very little color comes off.

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

    The chest pocket placement would be fine if it was angled. I wish the handwarmers were angled too.

    There are already enough leather jackets in the world. Buying second-hand is more fun! …as others state, buying custom is not a guarantee of superiority. Don’t fear your significant other, they will be happy if you are- we all have weaknesses. Hiding doesn’t help.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    95 outside, but the suede shacket showed up. No smells or stains. In homage to the previous owner, it is pictured with shorts.
