    Which leather jacket fits me better? Please help!

    To my eyes the left looks better from the front and the right jacket looks better on the back. But that’s just nit picking. .

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I will look into this to see if it would be good in my Florida tropical climate. We have very few cool days and I like wearing boots even in summer but even at night it’s in the 80’s so moisture is a problem. It’s either wear boots in the heat or not at all and I’ve really come to love the...

    Field Leathers

    You were so excited for the Navy blue. What changed your mind? Practically for every day wear? I really like the navy also but can’t commit to it with no collection, if I already had a couple blacks, and few shades of brown then a Navy with maroon stitching would be on the list. Until then...

    What jeans are you wearing today ?

    I just looked at Bravestar and they look like a great value, especially when you consider the price of heavier denim in the expensive brands. I am going to give them a shot.

    Field Leathers

    You might own a few more than average . One could say that it’s too many to wear but just like collecting anything, you will almost always have more than you can use, plus if you make good buying choices/decisions then you can always sell and recover the investment, especially with many of the...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    If I do a custom order I would pick an E width but before getting another MP there are so many others to try so I might not know what an E on the MP feels like for a long while. But I would like to own a SemiDress, 350 Cruiser or the Baker stitch down cruiser, which from a few pictures in the...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    My first pair of Whites arrived today, excellent service from Mildblend out of Chicago. I chose based on what was in stock and in my size. A pair of MP’s in Number 8 CXL with Danite sole. First impression is they are built like tanks. They feel even heavier and more rugged than my Viberg...

    Field Leathers

    That looks great, I love the new horizontal pocket he has been doing on the Route 66. With your vibrant array of jacket colors I thought this was yours. Especially when I saw the Rainbow Country in the background. I remembered you asking for a lining like they do in sections.

    Ever wish western companies would compete?

    100% thought if that. Did you see these actual mini Langlitz jackets? I’m assuming they were made for employees maybe? Direct copies of a real cascade

    Ever wish western companies would compete?

    He was really pushing that Top Gun jacket and clearly reaping the benefits of exposure, atleast in his mind. But imagine having a nice collection as his and pushing aside those jackets and say yes this is the one, the AliExpress special My algorithm is Fine Creek, Y2, and so much 666 Lewis...

    What jeans are you wearing today ?

    Anything under $200 or with some great slubby texture and maybe some detail stitching? I would not mind one pair that is unique. I heard to watch Denimio for collaboration specials where they sometimes put something unique together but not in the $400 price range of Iron Heart.

    Ever wish western companies would compete?

    I don’t know how people find out about these brands other than this forum, that’s how I was exposed. Not a single person I know would have a clue about any workwear brand. I’m in Florida where fashion is T-shirt and shorts because of the extreme heat, but I wonder if I walked through San...

    Help!! Stain on leather jacket

    Dish soap has been my trick for years with oil stains on shirts, good to know it’s safe for leather. even if it didn’t come completely out, in time it might fade or the leather darken to a similar shade. Some leather creams will darken the leather they say because of the oils and eventually...

    Aero vs Eastman A2

    Not sure how tall you are but they can make you look heavy in the larger sizes if your on the shorter and wider side like me. I tried one on and was like no way, my waist looked wider than a house with the blousing of the midsection

    Help!! Stain on leather jacket

    Saddle soap or Lexol cleaner is a safe choice. Try it and let dry at room temperature and see if it lightens the stain before thinking of adding any conditioner which could darken it further

    Ever wish western companies would compete?

    Marketing yes 100% combined with those small details I mentioned, tags, labels and so forth. Schott has the manpower and infrastructure to put out a killer line of vintage jackets with unique leathers if they could just implement it correctly. Unlike the Shinki with the split back they recently...

    What jeans are you wearing today ?

    Bought my first pair of selvedge jeans, I wanted a pair of mid priced jeans but went cheap in the end with a pair of Buffalo jeans selvedge, mainly because of the price and I know how the brand fits. I’ll get some close up pictures of the actual jeans, I am curious to know the difference versus...

    Ever wish western companies would compete?

    Just the grass is greener mentally. They want what we have and vice versa. I would love a Langlitz myself after seeing yours. I saw that and looked into the vintage and my appreciation grew, they don’t jacket he 9 stitches per inch but they don’t need it, they are still neat and clean and from...
