Welcome to the lounge, great first post and your first "real" leather jacket looks spot on!! I'm sorry to hear that your second one doesn't fit you well. When I bought my first "real" leather jacket (vintage Aero Highwayman) about 7 years ago I thought I'm done and in the meantime I bought...
@ton312 Not sure which one you meant - blue or black one - both are great jackets which I like a lot and IMO they are not worse in terms of leather quality, construction and workmanship than e.g. a Vanson (I have one Vanson) - I have to point out that the zippers are highest quality IMO and...
I'm definitely done after receipt of my absolute grail jacket (FW Mulholland) which has been sold by fellow member @Knakorn Piulueangsawat to me today - hopefully shipping from Bangkok to Germany is swift and smooth:
Thanks @Marc mndt but nothing compared to your new jackets in 2021 and your overall massive collection (you do have very nice pieces, expecially the vintage half-belt which you treated and preserved a lot but also many others). Difficult question but I definitely wear the Shangri-La Heritage...
Here's my summary for this year:
- 60's Brooks Gold Label Cafe Racer
- The Few Mobster Black Badalassi
- Vintage Taubers of California (up for sale in Classifieds)
- Shangri-La Heritage black suede Trucker
- Thedi olive deerskin cross-zip
- 2x Vintage Harro
- Vintage Lesco Perfecto
- Addict...
Just a side-note regarding DC4.de Berlin. Masa-san is one of DC4's employees and he used to work for Brass Tokyo (Clinch) as cobbler for 6 years. He can re-sole Clinch boots in Berlin with original O'Sullivan soles and heels.
Here's a picture and a website link - it seems that they currently have stock (size US10.5) -

@TheBigEraser I‘ve just bought the Horsebutt Engineer boots through DC4 Berlin (@Tusche has also recommended them to me) and they will be shipped around middle/end of November as they always order a certain qty 1 year in advance. I can’t wait to receive them!
@Mich486 @Jin431 Many thanks for your feedback and advice - I do highly appreciate it. In parallel I was talking to a fellow lounge member who owns both and has also recommended to buy the Horsebutt one since breaking-in time is shorter, better tea-core effect, slightly thinner leather. As soon...
Hi guys,
Does anyone know the main difference between Latigo and horsebutt Clinch offers? Obviously there is a price difference between both: 1750€ vs 2150€. Is the horsebutt thicker and is the overall quality better than Latigo leather (tanning technique, more rare hides, etc.??). As I‘m about...

Ok, thanks. I will most likely make a decision next week as I got an offer on Engineer boots but I would prefer Yeager boots….both are not an option
Hello fellow Loungers,
I‘m searching for Clinch Yeager or Engineer boots (only horsebutt) in size 8.5 or 9. Location should preferably be in the EU - this search is probably more a dream than Reality as it might be difficult to find these boots in this size in the EU.
Many thanks in advance...
