    Yes! This is so true. I am way too embarrassed to try and explain the price of these things to others. People struggle to understand that everyone's priorities can differ so much. My brother spends thousands on TVs, stereos, etc, and even he admits that he gets very little return when he...

    Ship John

    I remember when you bought that, and your issues with the length. I was between sizes on the Ramblin' Jacket, and I actually bought both and kept them for a long while. Interestingly, the Large fits me more like a jacket, but the XL was very much Chore Coat length on me. I finally ended up...

    I probably sound like a fanboi now, but Mike recently had a livestream about how people were selling their Wills Jackets on eBay for up to $800 (and how that bums him out). This release today was partially intended to combat that kind of thing. He genuinely doesn't want people to pay above...

    Ship John

    I have what I believe to be some relevant commentary to add, but I want to say up front: I consider both Mike and Stephen (who run the company) to be friends. I'm sure that colors my opinion some, but I feel like I know them well enough to speak to the high quality of their character. I'm...

    Thank you Jin! Can you tell me how it compares to the other Shinki leathers? Thicker/thinner, stiffer or softer, oily/waxy/dry? I appreciate all the help.

    Is the Pony hide considered a Teacore leather? I may end up requesting that same brown for my jacket - the color is so rich!

    Wow Cherian, that looks incredible! Which type of Shinki leather is that one?

    Vanson comp weight Oxford 9D 40”

    Vanson resale isn’t as good as some, but this is a killer price. This is more Ton being nice than bad resale value.

    Tony, I sent a PM - I’ll take it pending a few details. Thanks!

    Marker, this is super helpful, thank you. I actually do have my good shirts shortened by a good local seamstress, and some brands like Iron Heart are a bit shorter right out of the box. I think the answer is to keep the back length no longer than 26". I also noticed that Thurston Bros uses...

    Thanks again Marc. This is where my concern lies - too long and the jacket will hang up on my butt/hips. J-100 style Cafe racers tend to have the zipper start 3" or so above the bottom hem, which gives me a little room for the jacket to expand over my hips.

    Field Leathers

    I'm 6 feet tall, no belly yet, long arms and an average torso length. I'm thinking no more than a 27" back length. Probably closer to 26", but no shorter. If I was tucking in a t-shirt, the shorter back length would look great, but that's just not how I dress in the winter months. The length...

    Marc, Yeah, I should have been more clear about my intentions. I am used to cafe racers, so I'm thinking 26-27" back at the longest. I'd still have 3-4 inches of tail showing. I agree, the jacket above looks ridiculous. I was just concerned that with a 24-25" back, it would look silly with...

    Field Leathers

    Thanks for all the advice! I'm leaning towards the Manhattan at this stage. One more note - I typically wear button down shirts in cooler weather, and I wear them untucked. Can this style be lengthened a bit without looking bad? Not a crazy amount, but an inch or two? I find that a really...

    Hey all, I got on Greg's list early this year and I'm starting the process of planning out my jacket with Sam. When I made the order, I was planning on getting a classic black tea-core cafe racer style (his Route 66) but having had 6-7 months to think on it, I've been hot on the idea of a...

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    That’s beautiful! How recently did you buy that jacket? I bought a new octagon jacket 7-8 years ago and the leather was more greasy and mottled. I’d buy one in leather like yours has any day.

    Updated with actual measurements of the jeans and listed on eBay as a backup. I'd rather sell them here though - drop me a line if you're interested.

    Ship John Shaver Jeans - 36x33 like new

    THESE ARE SOLD AND SHIPPED OUT - THANKS ALL!! I got these Ship John Shaver Jeans a few months back and I'm looking to move them on. They are a size 36 in their style #02 (the slightly roomier fit). At time of purchase, Ship John did a chain stitch hem with a 33" inseam. They are trim fitting...

    White's Nomad Engineer Boots - Distressed - 12.5D - 13D

    These are sold and paid for - thanks all!! I'm letting go of a pair of White's Nomad Engineer boots. The marked size is 12.5D, but White's run big and these fit like a 13D. These were made before White's was purchased by Lacrosse. The leather is White's "Distressed" cowhide, and they...

    JM7, if it's too big on you, I'd be interested in it. Good luck!
