    1930's Hückel Prima Velour Fedora Hat Size 55cm

    This is (was) a beautiful hat. If it were in my size I would have purchased it, however, it already sold!

    Field Leathers

    Really clean lines, and I enjoy the smaller details on the zipper pulls. I would be smiling too! Congrats!

    I don't think based on the photos that it will be a much longer wait... :)

    Thank you. That is a great article you linked! I used that article some time ago to learn a few things, as the comparison photos etc. was just so good. It helped me understand a little more about Freewheelers and some jacket pattern options. That link was read by me many times! I most...

    Some more update photos: (The D pocket is unlined, which is fine by me, there will be an inside pocket that uses a cotton lining.)

    THAT is the reason why I like off the rack jackets. They make all the decisions for you. All you have to do is accept them, compromise!

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I do not believe these came with a belt. I tried one on at the LA store a few years back, it was a nice jacket.

    Freewheelers La Brea - Rude Black or Black Jack

    Here are some photos of what I am referring to red vs brown. In earlier black jack editions, I could see the red show through on some stitch holes, it was a prominent not seen often color. Sadly all the photos of 2019 jackets were not red.

    One more, always one more...

    Theodoros wrote to me today to let me know my jacket was in the process of being made and he had four lining choices for me, which I have attached below. Off the bat, I felt black would be too boring, and I am not a green or brown guy... So the 100% cotton liner in grey was my selection. I...

    Freewheelers La Brea - Rude Black or Black Jack

    When I purchased my LaBrea, I was curious about the Black Jack version. This is what I learned. Before I start, I am certain you will be happy with either descision! 1. Only one place offers Black Jack, from what I understand. 2. When I asked for feedback from another dealer that sold FW...

    Help with a Thedi Jacket

    This is great information! Thanks for sharing. I probably should ask WHAT leather was selected for my jacket order, all I know was that I agreed to black HH 1.1 to 1.2mm thick. I too enjoyed all my correspondence with Theodoros.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Happy weekend! My Centinela wanted an opportunity to go outside. At this point it drapes like a comfortable blanket of wool and leather. It has no fight. Going to be awhile before the leather in my LaBrea is this broken in. But it reminds me of what I have to look forward to once it is...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thank you for your comment! It is one of the reasons I became interested in these early Leathertogs jackets. They lack pockets I just don't use, and have little details that I find interesting (like the symmetrical lapels) due to the history and maker. It could easily be my one jacket, but...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I have been wearing my LaBrea everyday now for the past few weeks, and got to travel with it on airplanes and airports etc. with a recent vacation. Also wearing my newly discovered love of Tanuki jeans I discovered on said trip. That being said this LaBrea is not breaking easy. The cuffs have...

    What jeans are you wearing today ?

    Tanuki. I recently discovered this brand of Jeans and they are wonderful in details etc. Many things I like about them. I was told that the pattern maker is Sweedish, or Swiss, I don't remember, anyways, is not Japanese, which is why I am able to wear them. The first Japanese brand that I...

    What Is the Allure of Japanese Leather Jackets?

    I believe it only adds to the value. 1. Manufacturer one is a collector, and wants to reproduce what they love. This elevates the vintage market by bringing the style to the public and making them aware of it, and in turn making more people seek the original. 2. Manufacturer two wants to...

    What Is the Allure of Japanese Leather Jackets?

    Certain vintage jackets, that many repros are based on, that has not been touched upon by @Coriu is the cost associated with purchasing a vintage one. They can and do cost more than the repros do, and you are bidding against other vintage collectors. Many reproduction jackets are not just...

    What Is the Allure of Japanese Leather Jackets?

    A perspective of Forest and trees, to help. The J-31 and the Centinela, to those that see the forest, are the same style, and therefore the same jacket by different makers, take your pick. But for those that look at the trees, they are very different jackets, with enough differences to...
