    Time for a grizzly?

    Agreed, the first guy fits in his grizzly, the second guy is just posing. Difficult to looks natural when posing...

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    There was a study that showed we care much more about how we look and worry too much about what people around think. Most people wouldn't notice whatever we noticed is wrong with our outfit. In practice, we can get away with much more than we generally believe we can :)

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

    Too big for me as well.... but so tempting! You can get away with a bit oversize with such a jacket especially if you layer

    Himel Bros Imperial Fit

    Good recap. @Cyber Lip , resorting to personal attack because you do not have what it takes to have a normal conversation with decent arguments is not doing you any favours.

    Your all time fav Leather Jacket (1-2) you own or have owned

    I honestly still have a problem coming up with my favourite ten jackets so my favourite two.... There are some jackets I prefer to others, there are some that fit better than others, there are some that are better made then others... True. But overall I like most of my jackets, maybe the fact...

    Himel Bros Imperial Fit

    In short, whenever there were threads relating a bad experience with Himel, it would build up until we got a long rant by Himel as to how either he was unfairly criticised or how the mistake was made by one of his staff while he was away, or some such... Let me find you an example

    Himel Bros Imperial Fit

    @ChienChilla , take this whole story as a learning experience. I remember someone calling it "school fees". It is also true that most people will not notice any pattern weirdness, so I would not worry about wearing it in public either. Although, I do not buy a jacket for how I think I will be...

    Leather jacket custom ordering

    @MrProper , public transport does not always go exactly where you want, you do need to walk the last part :) And that is the issue! The reason I have no FL is because they could not get my fit right.

    Leather jacket custom ordering

    Speccing custom numbers for a jacket with an experienced maker is like taking public transport and telling the driver how to do his job. 5* is unique in the sense that they put you in the driver seat and let you crash if you are not exoperienced enough.

    Thinking about Lost Worlds.. thoughts, experiences?

    Was out for a while and completely missed on this thread. A few points: - If you want the heaviest horse, than you are likely to get it from LW since they have their own tannery and use the whole skin. Not just the front quarters. Yes, some parts of the jacket can be made of Horse butt as well...

    Broken-in Lost Worlds a Myth?

    Their heavier stuff is also easy wearing thanks to their patterns :)

    Broken-in Lost Worlds a Myth?

    I see that @Carlos840 explained much better than I ever could. The leather is still the same, it just breaks in easier. that's it. There is no "it was better before" aspect in this instance. If Stuart wanted to make the old recipe, he would have to make a whole batch of leathers this way, and...

    Broken-in Lost Worlds a Myth?

    The newer jackets break in quicker, but even older ones will break in with daily wear. This is my first LW, made with the older batch of leather that takes longer to break in: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/lost-worlds-suburban-one-year-in.90515/
