While certain models are more associated with black (e.g., CRs and Perfectos), and other models are more associated with brown (e.g., A2s), most jackets look good in either black or brown. Choose the style that you like best -- it will work great in black.
@draš katalenić , we are becoming very familiar with your wood floor -- nice floor. Why not go out on a limb and post a photo of yourself wearing one of your jackets?
I genuinely was not aware that FW offered a leather jacket for $2,100. Thank you for the information. I wish it fit me. No need for the snarky remark about "scoring points" -- not even sure how my post would serve that objective.
I am one of those who annoyed Stuart with such a request. I would love to own a LW jacket, but I prefer mid-weight leathers (particularly because of my climate). I thought his deerskin might be the answer, but even that is rather heavy. Some have opined that Stuart's lightest offering is not...
Freewheelers Centinela is $3,125: https://global.rakuten.com/en/store/speedway-shop/item/1931003-44-46/
Freewheelers San Mateo is $2,840: https://global.rakuten.com/en/store/speedway-shop/item/1931005/
Some are in the $2,500 range.
Thank you for a perfect illustration of my point. You stated an opinion regarding Shinki leather without resort to counterproductive ad hominem references. That is exactly the type of discourse we should be having on TFL.
Separately, I agree that a particularly thick/heavy, indestructible...
Why repeat it here on TFL? What purpose does that serve? As I stated in response to JMAX's post, before I saw your post, we should not be repeating Stuart's ad hominem rhetoric advanced for the ulterior purpose of selling his competing jackets. IMHO, its counterproductive.
Separately, you...
Thanks for the clarification.
IMHO, Stuart's derogatory rhetoric -- advanced for the ulterior purpose of selling his competing jackets -- should not be repeated on TFL. Stating "Shinki is trash" serves no purpose other than to incite acrimony. TFL is better than that.
This is exactly why it sold for so low. Used FW leather jackets usually sell for much more.
That is not my experience. I regularly see used FW jackets selling for over $1,500. I chased a used FW Brakeman a couple of years ago that sold for $2,000. A used Nine Lives jacket, which retails...
I assumed it was Hh's juvenile expression of his ad hominem opinion, incorrectly stated as a quote, and intended to incite those who favor Shinki. Therefore, I declined to take the bait.
I am contemplating a Lewis Leathers jacket in cowhide (sans chest patch). I do not have any experience with the brand. For those with real world LL experience:
1. How is the quality of the workmanship (e.g., stitching and seams)?
2. How does the workmanship compare to: (1) Aero; (2) RMC...
