    Lightweight Jacket Options - California Weather

    If you like mc jacket, then it must be in leather, so you can only tweak on the lining, ditch the quilted liner for cotton liner the difference would be instant. another idea is to modify a leather jacket by cutting off the sleeve into a crosszip vest. no I don't use AC, never turn them on at...

    Are white leather boots more likely to scuff/look bad with wear?

    I think white color will turn yellowish with wear, but looking at the type of the boots and the material used seems like a very dressy boots not meant to be worn daily, so do you need to worry about its color and surface deteriorating from wear? I think since it is a shoe when you apply clear...
