    Leather Jacket Collecting on a Budget

    The average cost per____ can be a rough reflection of someone's taste. I have two friends who are rabid pistol collectors. One has guns that average about $500 each and the other has pistols that average about $1000 each. Yes, the latter has VERY good taste. Unfortunately for him, he is a...

    Leather Jacket Collecting on a Budget

    It is important when it comes to my budget. When I began collecting, I wanted to establish a realistic target range for jackets to purchase. I've proven to myself that I can build a nice collection targeting jackets in the $200-$400 range. There is no reason to spend more than $500 on a used...

    Leather Jacket Collecting on a Budget

    I thought it would be an interesting exercise to determine the average cost per jacket I have paid for all of the jackets in my collection, not including shipping. For me, the average is $290 per jacket. I only own 2 jackets that were purchased new (from Aero on sale). So, in a manner of...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    There are presently 38 members and 440 guests online. I would imagine a certain percentage of those guests are new to the leather game and are here to listen to the opinions of the experts. I, myself, have been VERY influenced by what I have read on this forum in terms of what I have chosen...

    I'm getting this visual of you walking into your closet and there she stands...you having the same look that a woman would get catching her husband wearing her lingerie.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    You are certainly right about the much lower prices for women's jackets. I'm just saying that there is a subset of women who understand quality and are willing to pay for it. Concerning thrifting, it may be partially a function of where one resides. I have a family member who lives in a very...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    In the US, what we call "country" girls, tomboys, girls from very humble roots, and/or serious motorcycle chicks, are, in my experience, not as prissy and more practical. Am not saying I would buy my wife a used wedding ring, but a woman who farms and mucks stalls is often not worried about the...

    How about a man spending that on his special lady?...which leads me to an interesting thought...I wonder how many men on here have purchased $1000 jackets for their special ladies, assuming the lady rides or likes leather. That might be a thread in and of itself(wardrobe equity), though a...

    My friend Cecil, a retired attorney, bison rancher, and expert in all things bison has these 17-22 sq ft veg-tanned bison sides. He says it is rare to find them in a form like these that can be tooled for motorcycle saddles; gun holsters or the like. $300 each and he can send photos of the...

    Imagine there is someone new to leather on TFL who would simply love to have a horsehide jacket and is budget-restricted. This could be an excellent choice. And someone went to the bother of resurrecting an older jacket rather than throw it in the trash....if that's the case, a noble...

    Am not sure I agree that a serious, female rider would limit herself to $100, especially if she was reasonably well off. That said, I could see it taking a while to find the right buyer.

    In the spirit of providing a good laugh at a time when many of us desperately need one, I recently posted about a jacket made by a company whose name is clearly a play on a certain natural bodily function. I utilized innuendo that was deemed inappropriate because TFL is "family friendly."...

    If one was going to build a collection of a specific maker of vintage jackets, I think Taubers would be one of the most interesting brands to pursue. Imagine a collection of old Cal's, Langlitz and Taubers together...wow
