    I 100% agree with everything. The leather looks very nice in photos and in fact, that was the shade I was looking for, and also I have no reason to doubt when they say it will behave and age like Badalassi, I'm sure it is a superb hide, but having no references, no name and the same price as...

    Himel Kensington review, first custom

    Awesome jacket and fit and a great style choice! In my opinion, cafe racers are one of the best if not the best types to start with in this jacket world, so easy to integrate with a more modern wardrobe and perfect for eventually start adding more heritage pieces if you choose so. Love it! And...

    Greg just posted this jacket for sale on his IG and I think this is the brown veg-tanned cowhide in question. It looks pretty damn nice to me tbh

    The plot thickens, apparently the brown Italian cowhide on that Peters sample is not badalassi. In Sam's words "it is from Tuscany", but no name or brand. I will wait to see the sample in person but with no references or info about it I might consider switching to black shinki full aniline...

    Sam told me this today about the thickness if it helps: "Our leathers are all 1.1mm-1.3mm so what would be classed as a medium weight in this market, they are both very similar"

    Thank you all for your messages! I'll ask Sam tomorrow if it is definitely Badalassi and I will let you know. My original idea for the jacket, as it is supposed to be a 30s aviator-inspired design, was to have it made in deerskin because I thought the softer leather would help to add vintage...

    Thank you Marc! Oh wow that's a harsher contrast than I was expecting... yeah that issue seems to be the overall general opinion, I thought I would like it but now I think is too strong, Sam didn't specify Badalassi but I would assume it is? In other photos I've seen the color seems richer for...

    Hi all! Sam contacted me last Monday so we could start discussing the details of my order, that was much faster than I was expecting! I'm already in the waiting for the cotton jacket stage and trying to decide on the leather. She told me that Shinki Pony is no longer an option, they currently...

    Oh my god thank you! These are incredible, love them all and you actually solved some of the concerns I had about the back pattern! The first one is amazing indeed, and second from the bottom is pretty much exactly what I had in mind. Deco backs are the kind of thing that no matter which one I...

    Hello all! I booked my place in Greg's queue back in June and I know there's still a long way ahead of me, but of course I am already thinking of my future jacket, and I wanted to discuss with you guys what do you think about my idea. I've always wanted a nice 30s deco cross-chest jacket, Greg...

    Steele & Jones Cazadora 36 Jacket Review

    As promised, here is the jacket on me. It finally arrived today and I am beyond impressed. To me, it looks like they pulled it out straight from the movie, but I will let the pictures speak for themselves. Again, massive congrats to Diego and the team of Steel & Jones, this is a piece I will...

    Thank you, and so true! I wasn't really going for a full vintage look but now that you mention it I will definitely try a more formal tucked shirt next time, I just love the way the Menlo drapes and how easy to wear it is with almost anything!

    Steele & Jones Cazadora 36 Jacket Review

    Thanks Monitor! Yeah, I couldn't agree more, about this jacket being the one that started it all and about the fit of this particular replica. Not saying that Wested or any other brands look bad or are bad jackets by any means but the fit on these would depend a lot on the person wearing it...

    Steele & Jones Cazadora 36 Jacket Review

    Hi all! A few months ago, back in November, I booked my turn for one of the amazing Steele & Jones's Indiana Jones jacket replicas. I've been a fan of Raiders since I saw it for the first time as a kid and it started my passion for leather jackets. Over the years I've had all sorts of brands...
