    FS: Freewheelers La Brea "Black Jack" edition size 42

    Hi guys, After over 2 months of debating with myself I decide to put this jacket on sale. I recognize that I need to size down, given my height and recent weight loss. So this wonderful piece needs to find a new owner who can wear it hard and discover the total aging potential. I have been...

    Nice... I believe that's the same design as RMC and TMC's Mobster jacket.

    RRP vs. price war for new or nearly new qualitative garments on the market

    In my opinion, COVID didn't really hit the market of the relatively high-end leather jacket. People who were able and willing to spend so much money on one jacket are less likely to be affected by the financial impact from COVID (lose of job, etc.). Again this is my understanding and what I...

    Post Brexit import experiences

    Thanks Gents! In this case that would be interesting scenario too. I think when you travel out of EU (e.g. Japan), as an interntional traveller you are entitled to the VAT exemption when buying goods. And if you don't get caught up in EU custom when you travelling back, actually you only pay...

    Post Brexit import experiences

    Interesting. I guess that's because the difference on the shipping? I requested the quote from Lewis. A Lightening 391 in vege cow delivered in UK costs 1385GBP, while delivered to the Netherlands costs 1170 GBP. Price includes shipping cost. Quick math gives you a tax deduction at 16%, compared...

    Thanks Harris, I also found this explanation on the belastingen wesbite. My question would be whether "Rules of Origin" actually appied to Dutch custom, and will a jacket fully made in UK (like Lewis) will be applicable to this rule.

    I see. Because it didn't reach the duty threshold anyway so you are also not sure if the rules of origin apply.

    Freewheelers Horsehide Tear - Repair Recommendations

    I would suggest to contact Freewheelers directly. Two weeks ago my friend lost a button on his denim jacket and he wrote directly to freewheelers to request a new button. The first reaction in FW's email is... "surely it's broken. Thanks for wearing it a lot! Patina great, looks beautiful!" And...

    @Marc mndt ,@Harris HTM , Gents, since we all locate in the Netherlands so I guess I'd best to check with you directly. If I buy order a Lewis Leathers jacket from their London shop right now, does the rules of origin applies, so do I need to pay for the import duty tax? I know the 21% VAT is...

    Buco J-82 repro

    Wow sir! Such a good summary and thank you so much for the write-up. So back to the topic of this thread - J-82. I flipped through the Sears history thread and I didn't find any jacket related to J-82 (maybe I overlooked it?) Is that because J-82 was only designed after 1963?

    Vegecow Lewis Leathers quality

    Thanks for the info sharing! So to conclude - the only difference of 391 and 391T is the fit. To which level of the modification can they do? Looking at the table, my best fit would be an old 391 somewhere between size 40 and 42, with shortened sleeves and length. Did you directly supply all...

    Buco J-82 repro

    Wow! So I am a bit confused about the story behind. So my understanding is: Sears, the clothing retailer who is now a big franchise, used to also deal motorcycle clothes. Beside dealing, they have their own brand called All state. Back in 1950s, Buco, as an outsourced manufacturer, made "All...

    Vegecow Lewis Leathers quality

    Absolutely beautiful. Congratulations! I understand that the 391T is the tight version compared to 391. But since it is possible to modify the specs, does it make any difference that you starting with the customization based on a 391T or a 391? Is there any design/character that further...
