    Best Leather Gloves?

    hey I almost had to put the heat on last night, it dropped to 72 degrees ‍this is why my wife thinks I’m crazy buying such an expensive jacket, it would kill her to know I have 3 more on the way, she’s from upstate New York and not long ago was removing ice from her windshield

    FS: HIMEL BROS. VINTAGE STYLE CANUCK JACKET HARRIS X PENDLETON WOOL SIZE 42"

    This is the best lined Himel I’ve ever seen. He should line all of his jackets like this.

    REAL McCOY´s VINTAGE STYLE BUCO JH-2 (BROWN) HORSEHIDE LEATHER JACKET SIZE 40"

    Amazing details, the subtle patterned wool liner with yellow cupro in the sleeves. I guess you can part with it because you have the original J-65

    How likely is it to find vintage clothing in larger sizes

    I didn’t even think about documentation, that’s helpful. I didn’t receive anything but a home printed leather care instruction for vegetable tanned Japanese horsehide. But mine is chrome tanned steerhide I’m actually going to pass along to Fields to throw in a creation date if possible just...

    Post Thedi Leather Jacket Photos Here........

    The stitching on Thedi Jackets are as neat as they come, I’ve been looking through these pictures and can’t find many wavy lines or double stitching.

    Best Leather Gloves?

    Maybe look for a well reviewed pair of goatskin gloves. I can’t attest but goat seems to be a tough but thin leather, lots of work gloves are made from it. Langlitz makes goatskin jackets directly for motorcycle use and also make the claim, you also have many of the Navy jackets of old were...

    How likely is it to find vintage clothing in larger sizes

    Funny you said that. I had that thought about jackets we have had made and thought it would be cool for makers to use a dating system for each build, that way one day someone finds an Aero or whatever on eBay and knows it was from 2020. Since we can’t go with zippers dating anymore. If I ever...

    How likely is it to find vintage clothing in larger sizes

    Marc, can you tell me if there seems to be a style or brand you noticed which tends to have shorter sleeves with larger body sizes p2p? My knowledge of vintage jackets is pretty much zero even after a time here. I have noticed the varying dimensions of reproduction jackets, RMC for instance...

    Talon Zipper Dating….rabbit hole.

    These hookless talon are older but those appear to be patent numbers on those. Strange they would do serial numbers for basically one style of zipper then they seem to have gave up altogether.

    Ever wish western companies would compete?

    Being a weightlifter myself I just figured he gave himself room to bulk and cut plus normalize when living life, with the jacket still fitting. Unless you are a YouTube influencer, fitness model, or the Rock , there are going to be fluctuations in your body based on diet and training. Jason...

    Talon Zipper Dating….rabbit hole.

    Is it just Talon that has serial numbers? Is it just main or separating zippers or will non separating and pocket zippers have serial numbers also? Did they stop using serial numbers at a point? I’ve gone a bit zipper crazy lately myself

    Ever wish western companies would compete?

    He’s probably just frustrated because he loves their products and they can’t work for him, I feel that way about RMC and Freewheelers, those two brands really bring the total package when it comes to vintage reproduction motorcycle jackets (for me atleast) great leather, well thought out liners...

    Is this Schott a keeper? (+ mini review)

    I love it, definitely a keeper, thst red liner pops with the glossy black leather. Schotts can be boxy but I’d say the upward angle of the camera shot is enhancing the effect.

    Ever wish western companies would compete?

    I was looking through the Bill Kelso site last night and he actually has some really nice reproductions. Last time I looked he had the Durable and the Hercules reproductions along with the Californian and others but i don’t remember seeing the Buco J-23 and the LeatherTogs aviator. I’m sure as...

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    Thank you for the detailed response. I don’t want to pay the extreme surcharge either. Same with Langlitz, I would just settle on cowhide. Surcharge; when they charge that much extra for one particular leather, it makes me question the value of their regular leather options, basically are they...

    Talon Zipper Dating….rabbit hole.

    I would imagine most sellers do their best to date their goods but in the end it is up to us to confirm as buyers. I confirm that Appalachian is a nice jacket! What stitching, so neat. Plus I notice it is purposefully closer to the edge on the smaller lapel and spaced a bit farther on the...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    All amazing makers and I follow each new build they post on instagram. Flame Panda stands out the most to me but all brands you mentioned have beautiful boots. Also Winston looks like an excellent choice for dress shoes, curious about his prices. I definitely see the appeal for an avid...

    Talon Zipper Dating….rabbit hole.

    That’s why I mentioned it, because random sellers or dealers will use similar threads as tools to date their EBay items. So yes experts like you that have experience and a multitude of jackets will know it’s just one clue but lurkers won’t. I saw a woman ask on a vintage clothing site asking...

    Talon Zipper Dating….rabbit hole.

    Not just here but vintage clothing sellers ask on various sites the age of a garment they intend to sell and replies are usually based on zipper age which they tell the OP the garment must be 50’s based on the zipper. I’m sure it’s happened but never have I seen it mentioned that the zipper is...
