    Freewheelers leather jackets

    25,000 yen more is like $150… that’s a reasonable increase. Yen is super weak at the moment so I’d just go the proxy route whenever possible. As far as I understand the japanese price charged to resellers abroad is close to the price consumers pay so they are bound to cost more when buying...

    American boot alternatives

    As said above, what’s more American than cowboy boots? Red wing Mocs, engineer boots, harness and packer boots etc are all typically American as well but the cowboy boot is the only one that everybody around the world would immediately associate with the US without thinking twice.

    Belts and buckles

    Did you check out Ace Western Belts? Seems to be the go to for the 50s style western belts. I’m sure some member will chime in with those. East west in the UK stocks a few but they can be mto on Etsy as well. RRL are cool but always a bit of pre distressing, nothing wrong with it obviously...

    High rise is when the waistband sits at your natural waist, above your hips and reaches your belly buttom.

    HARLEY x Real McCoy x Jason Momoa Horse hide D pocket 1940s

    Unless it’s deadstock a vintage will never feel like a new jacket. At the same time a repro will hardly ever look like an original. It depends what is important for you. Also, some vintage designs are hard to style without looking costumey and there is where vintage inspired clothing comes in...

    What's going on with the FL site?

    It's not so much the ads... those are annoying but a necessary evil, I think we all know and accept that. But the problem here is that the whole website just doesn't work anymore... it doesn't load or it takes forever to load. I've been a daily poster/visitor over the past 6 years but since a...

    Sierra sportswear 50s horsehide halfbet - size 40

    I got this vintage halfbelt a few weeks ago but unfortunately it’s a bit too big for me. It’s a fairly straightforward halfbelt but while I’m not an expert I can tell this is quality. A very fine jacket. Beautiful collar. Leather condition 8/10. Midweight horsehide. I think it’s a shame this...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Looks a million times better on you! It’s 23” or so down the back on a 42 so not overly long I would say. Looks less boxy than that Windward though for sure.

    Attractions Bilt buck Appalachian repro sz42 - NWOT

    Selling this repro of the Appalachian/Sears map pocket cross zip made by Attractions under their Bilt buck label. New and unworn. This is made in some seriously thick and heavy brown horsehide with an oily finish. It’s just that good and arguably a much higher quality leather than the...

    Bill Kelso "Archive" Jackets - Reproductions

    A few people have ordered from the archive line, I believe also Canuck Panda. They make you the jacket out of the pictures at a decent price it seems. It’s basically a test jacket for them and then it gets added to the main line for a higher price.
