    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I keep telling everyone how great the slightly-longer surcoat length is, but they still aren’t a quick seller…

    Should I get rid of the following jackets?

    “If you find yourself admiring and yet never wearing that jacket then you should probably sell it.” These are true, but dangerous words. I have quite a few jackets that I admire more than wear.

    Florsheim Shoes

    I love the old Florsheim Imperials, they conjure up images of American businessmen in the 50s bustling around New York in suits and fedoras… I have a vintage pair that I occasionally wear. I’ve seen images of shell cordovan ones still going strong 30-40 years later… I don’t think the new ones...

    Should I get rid of the following jackets?

    With my kids, we used to put older toys in the garage for 6months before we’d donate them. If they ever asked “where did ___ go?” We would pull it out for them and reset the clock. You might give this one a pause until Spring. If you don’t wear it this Fall/ Winter… out with it.

    Should I get rid of the following jackets?

    This one is stunning, but if you are not comfortable with it…Sell it.

    Should I get rid of the following jackets?

    I agree with Tom and Nick. Once you start thinking about selling a jacket, the course is already set. Move them and don’t look back!

    Thurston Italian Vicenza Horsehide Full Grain Veg.-Tanned Horsehide for Aero Jackets

    …ummm, yeah, Ken and family came back…and many patterns have been updated. They now offer many great medium weight hides, and lots of us prefer them to the heavy stuff of yore.

    I never saw us this way, but you make a great analogy here! (Go Dodgers! :p)

    What is your favourite lining? Post pictures!

    Yes, all the stuff that’s typically hidden by the liner.

    What is your favourite lining? Post pictures!

    Now that I have a jacket without a liner, I can say that pocket bags are an issue. If the jacket is designed to be un-lined, hopefully the maker has figured out how to hide or minimize hanging pieces of extra fabric. I don’t mind the feel of the roughout side on my skin.

    Vintage Horsehide Buco J-24

    This place is (usually) different than other snarky forums…and we take pride in that. I’m looking forward to your insights, and seeing your collection. As a vintage dealer (there are others here too) you have a different perspective than us hobbyists. Just beware that early morning and...

    Vintage Horsehide Buco J-24

    All are free to join our open and leather-loving forum. I’m sorry this conversation is going south, but recently we’ve seen an influx of one-timers showing up to either shill or profit from our experience. They quickly disappear…I hope you’ll stick around and engage with our community.

    What is your favourite lining? Post pictures!

    Only if it sticks to your shirt or sweater. I have had this issue with fuzzy wool/ alpaca linings before. Yes, sleeves are the worst.
