    Lost Worlds’ founder Stuart interviewed

    Very clean. I just did a similar repair on my coach 30-year-old tan travel bag. Like a dummy that sometimes are, I overloaded it and the side sling attachment ripped off. In the states and in Mexico, they tried to charge me an arm and a leg for the repair. I call it rip off because they see...

    Was the ANJ3 officially ever issued in russet, or just seal….?

    I have one in seal. But, most I have seen are the seal. I also have an anj3a. It reminds me of the earlier 40s fit. The leather has that nice shine to it.

    How do you store your leather jackets

    I tried the roll type. It works well. Some members do use this method. Back on the day, I was told that some jacket makers will roll the jackets for several days before sending them. I also have used the rolled up method after a good condition. I get better results on those horse hide and...

    How do you store your leather jackets

    That is what I am talking about. Love that rack. I was thinking the very same! My daughter wants a clean approach and does love those NFS racks. I have one on my pantry. Of course, if full of junk. LOL. I am in love with that "Escape from NY" jacket.

    How do you store your leather jackets

    At this moment, I am using a spare room to temporary place some of the none woolen lined jackets. Here is a rack I welded about 30 years ago, 3/4 thick wall 316 stainless. I copy the designed from a vintage shop. My design had to be wide enough to fit the jackets with those noodles. It has...

    How do you store your leather jackets

    I used to re-build my closets by making utilizing all the volume in the space. Since I have broken the regular one-inch wood rods before, I used 1.50 stainless steel rods with two supports in the middle and at each end to properly hold the weight. Additionally, In the past, I used to roll...

    How do you store your leather jackets

    Friend, I am thinking of building a rack for my jackets. I am planing to use 3/4 or 1/2 black or galvanized pipe. Since I lack space, I am thinking in doing a different design than the typical industrial coat rack. My design will be a permanent design using the wall studs as a secondary...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Beautiful specimen. Even the belt looks original. How did you get it? Is there a story behind it? This is the third one I have seen in this size. I wonder how many in size 46 are floating around.

    Star Glove Co by Lost Worlds is best ever

    What ever you write... It is cool with me. The lining has nothing to do with the length of the jacket. Now that you share an image of the jacket, it looks to me like a 22. Not a 22.5. Weather is the length is, 22 to 23 is considered short in my book. As others have stated in previous...

    Star Glove Co by Lost Worlds is best ever

    I was not questioning about the brand of your jacket. That was not my intention. Feel kind of bad that anyone will think of me as such a person. What ever it is about your jacket has nothing to do with me. I do not criticize other members regarding those things. However, your jacket does...

    Aero Highwayman Premier

    Friend, the premier runs trim. The regular 1950's model runs big in my experiences with it. I feel it did not work for you. Regarding price, the highwayman fetches a little more in HH. The price usually depends on condition, hide, size and color. Maybe if you search the sales forum or...

    Star Glove Co by Lost Worlds is best ever

    I have a LW Trojan with all the bells and whistles. Mine is thick and stiff. The thick wool lining that Stu offered makes it difficult to wear at times. Mine looks different from yours due to the leather thickness, I think. The jacket runs short. This new Star Glove is a different design...
