    Freewheelers vs. The Real McCoys vs. Vanson Cross Zip Jackets

    I don’t think trousers rise has anything to do here. You can see how the FW is longer. Because of that it sits different on @dudewuttheheck and covers his jeans pockets and more of the back. The jacket is objectively longer wether he wears low rise, mide rise or high rise jeans. I’m not saying...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I don’t like to generalise but they’re mostly terrible. Good luck on Ebay too. No measurements, no description, etc. I’ll try if I can leave negative feedback but I doubt it. The seller got back and holy crap, I can’t believe this. The seller adds zero info apart from size 38, label of size...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Apparently it doesn’t really matter at all. The seller just cancelled the order with a bullshit reason in french”The buyer doesn’t seem serious” What the hell?! I already paid. Just send the jacket and check my 100% positive feedback. I asked but I don’t expect a response. To be honest I am a...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    A couple of weeks of clouds and rain so wearing a short Rainwear jacket from SJClondon instead of leather. It gets wet but nothing goes through and dries quickly.

    Help with leather jacket to wear with tailoring

    Oh I have it since 2016. My first online purchase. Bought it on Etsy for around less than $400. It got a bit big for me when I lost weight but I still hold on to it. I’ll post it on the vintage thread again.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Thanks! I have the 13 mini and it wouldn't work. Bad news since it doesn't have an inside pocket (Would be easy to make one though but the liner could sag) I would still have the 5s if the battery hadn't died and it hadn't stopped receiving updates.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    You've got some cojones to wear that and look like it's not wearing you. Great stuff although the harness boots aren't my kind of thing I appreciate them.

    Help with leather jacket to wear with tailoring

    From movie Seabiscuit: A few catalogues, that's how they wore leather jackets. Even D pockets, Crosszips,etc.

    Help with leather jacket to wear with tailoring

    Other than Nik's phtoos I can give you some inspiration as it is what I wear on a daily basis, tailoring with leather jackets. Almost anything except modern cafe racers would look great I'd say. These last ones are very very motorcycle focused with a huge tapper and quite long usually that I...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I really dislike that. Either handwarmer or patch pockets but both are not for me. I was afraid of that. I really find the concept of chilly summer nights quite funny because I can't relate. We don't have that in Barcelona. Even a linen jacket or a thin cotton one is too much. Also I go walking...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I love the A-1 but it’s not as practical for a normal use. Can’t put a phone in the pockets, no inside pocket and the knits are a weak point. I know about the pockets because I own a cossack from LVC that has the same problem. I like this pun :) It’s amazing but I don’t think it’s as...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    So I went to sleep thinking about purchasing an Eastman Leather Clothing A-1 on vinted for 599€ (650€ After shipping and buyer’s protection and stuff). Overthinking about it because it’s very nice but the small pockets and the knits didn’t convince me although it has a wonderful capeskin. I...

    A barf worthy rip off of an appropriated pattern

    They're just showing you a heavilyt used, burnished and patina'd jacket vs the one you get from the hanger . Could be done with any maker but they really post their pictures with a lot of shine and I say that's because of the photography and lighting used.

    Lost Worlds Ryder Jacket (0033 Model) (Like) New - Size 38

    That's a beautiful jacket! What's the reason behind opting out of the handwarmer pockets? GLWS

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Thanks for the tip. I took a risk on this one for the price but oh well. No measurements were listed and used another 36 somewhere else as example. As far as I know these smaller sizes are Japan only because on the website 38 is the smallest size. If I went custom I'd would trust Stu and use...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Just got it today. It turned out to be a bit smaller than expected because of the tapper at the hem. It has shorter sleeves than I like but now I get the Hype about Lost Worlds. It is very very nice and gives me an idea about sizing. I was worried it sized bigger but I think it is just true to...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    So yeah… taxes everywhere and if they don’t see the shipping and insurance on the Invoice you send them they add their standard pricing to the value ( (2) is a note at the bottom of the invoice that explains it) calculate VAT and import duties on it. Doing all the work with Customs is ~20€...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Then you add shipping on top of that, VAT + Custom duties and you’re paying closer to $700-$800. Buying from outside EU makes no sense anymore. Pure Robbery. I just paid 90€ for my 158€ Lost World Ryders from Japan.
