    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    For me that Zipper ruins an otherwise very nice leather jacket...what a bad choice of zipper for a vintage jacket. Also the the clip on waist adjusters aren't in line with the belted back so makes me think they are another add on.

    What kind of cowhide might this be?（alexander leather）

    I’ve had a pair of Dainese motorcycle goatskin gloves for over 9 years and they have the best patina you could imagine. I have just cleaned and conditioned twice in that time and they still look fresh.

    Conditioning Leather

    That's the main reason why brushing the shoes after wearing and before wearing is a key to longevity. I do it all the time. Never miss a brushing.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I think you could go for a swim in a lake and the Lost Worlds would not get soaked. The leather is that waterproof I think. I wouldn't try it though, if it gets soaked you'll get pulled down by the weight!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Isn't it too warm to wear leather jackets over there? In Barcelona is already too warm to wear anything cotton or linen during the day.

    Do try this at home: leather jacket repair tips

    I just discovered that I can tumble with my washing machine in a 13 minute program so that's really cool. I can get my jackets wet then wear them a bit and tumble them to help break out the stiffness from the leather. It doesn't add extra water or warm temperature like some tumble dry machines...

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    I agree but still doesn't mean it's a good job. It's a hack job, the jacket is wearable but when you pay for repairs you expect certain level of quality. Othwerise just do a machine stitching repair like the LVC line does going over and over with the machine a la japanese boro.

    Things you want but cannot justify buying...

    I shave my head with the Eveready 1912 and I haven't cut myself, not once not even on the face. That thing is a weapon of precission. What happens sometimes is that when I use a new SE blade it can be a bit harsh if you apply too much pressure.

    "New" Thedi Fit Pics - Opinions Wanted

    I think that's a great fit! Regarding the jeans, in the end that's up to you but I think it would compliment your overall aesthetic a lot better to wear slim jeans but not skin tight.

    Things you want but cannot justify buying...

    I've been shaving my head for almost a year now. I used to go to the barber twice a month and have him (A shaved head barber as it happens) fade and keep it short at the top (3-4) Well, I moved and in order to save some money and time and decided to shave it. Best decission I've ever made. So...

    Things you want but cannot justify buying...

    Man you really have lived under a rock! I don't buy their products either. I shave my face and head with a 1912 Eveready like this one with SE razors though(not my photo) Best shave I've ever had.

    Notions about fit

    I’m going to be the same boring guy that repeats himself over and over and those pics just prove the point. Your jackets aren’t short, your trousers are low rise. Also american half belts tend to be a bit longer I’ve experienced. You can’t take a design made for a certain type of trouser style...

    @Monitor have you seen these trousers, those are so cool.

    Women's leather jackets

    I think that has to do with the fact that most of them love fashion and can't repeat an outfit (Making a very broad generalisation here but it's how it works). A Zara leather jacket works for them because they probably won't wear it much to justify the prices we pay.
