    Leather Jacket Collecting on a Budget

    A bit late to the party Surely there were more issues than just his collector's mindset that led to the breakup? Was this the reason they gave you for their break up? It is true that men and women approcah buying and keeping things in wildly different ways. A man once asked his wife: "Would...

    Full custom Field Leathers Manhattan review

    Perfect result for the whole undertaking, it came out beyond any reasonable - and quite a few not so reasonable - expectations! :D I think we have the FL jacket here, the one everyone thinks about when FL is mentioned. Congratulations! :D Edit: typos, couldn't help myself lol

    I bought and RMC Buco j-24 and found a scar on the leather. Help me determine if it’s considered character or not.

    I am not as knowledgeable as you are in shoes, but I do remember being in the J. Fitzpatrick shop for some sort of sale event. I talked with the owner who showed me a pair of seconds, at less than 50% and showed me an imperfection on a panel. I told him it would make a great day to day office...

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    I wouldn't take that risk, why submit a perfectly healthy jacket to surgery? Think of that back as a feature, a feature that makes this jacket what it is

    Himel: An Existential Review

    I don't think comparing yourself to YSL makes any sense, he is regarded as being among the foremost fashion designers of the twentieth century - whether you like him or not - and his brand has been developing its story for decades. If you managed to hype Shinki so well, I hope they are paying...

    What do you think of this New Flat Head Leather Jacket

    Didn't we figure out that the Thedi jackets were sold competitively in the US as opposed to Aero who charge their VAT to foreign cutsomers or something of the sort?

    What do you think of this New Flat Head Leather Jacket

    Pretty much, I have been guilty of this behaviour myself, although it was not regarding brands specifically. I remember first approaching Thedi and asking them if they could use chrome thanned leather. lol In any case, he gave me a really good answer about why he liked veg tan leather and made...

    What do you think of this New Flat Head Leather Jacket

    One piece of advice I have been harping on about is not to be fixated in brands, especially when it comes to the leather when you trust the maker. Theo has I don't know how many decades of working leather under his belt, you are better off telling him what characteristics you are looking for in...

    What do you think of this New Flat Head Leather Jacket

    You certainly have to feel comfortable wearing a jacket to pull it off.A lot of us here started one place and ended up wearing jackets we never thought we would.

    What do you think of this New Flat Head Leather Jacket

    If you decide to order a CR from JL, you might want to go full custom with a mock up. They have a pattern maker in the team who will adjust based on the mock up,. On a personal note, I am curious to see what you will be looking at once you have the CR out of the way. Cross zips are a lot of fun :D

    What do you think of this New Flat Head Leather Jacket

    The shop was a lot of fun to visit, I ended up buying an OTR death head cascade which fit to my surprise. I had been told that it was only designed for athletics builds which I am not. But when I tried it on, I was more than happy with the fit! Yes they do, but I don't know how often they get...

    What do you think of this New Flat Head Leather Jacket

    Langlitz makes some of the best patterns, amazing range of movement while still looking good.... when you get the fit you want. Some forum members have been disappointed with distance fittings, so it is best to go to their shop if that is an option. I wouldn't lump Lost Worlds with these...
