    Chest size vs Jacket size?

    about a fist gap, if the jacket has inner pocket or there is something on your shirt's pocket you need to reach it should be possible to slide in your hand and making a fist grabbing the item out with the jacket half zipped, in number I think about 10 cm (4") more from my chest size.

    FIVESTAR LEATHER CONTACTS

    fit is really subjective, I see the jacket fits cool, perhaps the shoulder can be wider a bit, and the the waist tapered a bit, but if a jacket fits cool on the mirror I could care less about a bit bigger here and there as long as it zips

    best leather pants under $300 used

    How do leather trousers works? do you wear them over leggings or longjohn kind of underpants? I wash my jeans occasionally like once or twice a year but I can't imagine a pair of pants I can't never wash for years

    Field Jackets on Derek Does.

    I think sneaker sole repair glue is another type of adhesive that could withstand velcro action (intentional pulling action) and maintain flexibility. the overnite araldite 2 components epoxy that stay flexible is also another alternative, but yeah they are all permanent and may make stronger...

    BTW japanese are really into this field coat, and keep making tons of in depth fashion analysis videos about it , like this one I think they can be obsessive about certain thing, perhaps the same with japanese denim and other americana

    Lightweight Jacket Options - California Weather

    to block the prickling heat of the sun exposure out, leather is more effective than denim doing that, and if not tight fit and you wear it open it just like wearing a leather sandal over your feet, air pass through the front and come out on the back through different routes cooling down back and...

    Velcro Recommendation for G-1

    your patched one looks cool, if the patch is just something the manufacturer put on and won't get you trouble wearing it, I think I prefer the patched version based on look alone, I think velcro would make it look tacky, I've yet to see velcro+leather that looks good together outside of perf...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I've been wearing this repro field jacket everyday, I hope to get back to leather and denim way again someday, but this light cotton coat with 4 cargo pockets in what currently summer climate feels really ideal, and I have a goal to fade it or something before rainy season kicks in.

    Lightweight Jacket Options - California Weather

    sheep despite being thin and light weight is actually warmer than cow perhaps because of their smaller pores or whatever based on leather shell alone. based on sheep leather gloves I have and cow leather gloves I have in the past.

    Field Jackets on Derek Does.

    hand sewing a velcro tab back on is very easy just like sew on a patch, there is even velcro with stick on adhesive on its back already pre cut in small oval patches ready to use. I think you can use poster tack putty (or chewing gum if you must) to lift off stuff clogging the hooks

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

    wow those prices are madness, people can put on crazy prices to put their product into certain dreamt up market segment but other people with clear mind are also free to not buying into it...
