    Lost Worlds Trojan Back Length / LW return policy

    That’s simply not true. There are laws and customers have rights. You can return anything you order online within X number of days no explanation given. You just have to follow the process given by the vendor. Another thing would be a custom jacket but a stock size even if it’s MTO can be...

    Paint splatters on leather jackets

    I would leave them as is and call it patina, wear or whatever. I have a vintage Half Belt with green paint on one of the front pockets IIRC and I couldn’t care less.

    Hanging jackets on a wall.

    I am confused about the Customs details. If you go to Europe from the UK you don’t need to declare anything yet(Brexit still didn’t happen) so I wonder where did you have to through the process. Regardless of that. I hope it goes well wherever you went from now on and the weather allows to...

    Taubers straight-zip restoration jacket

    Improper? Apart from the shortish sleeves to me looks fine but then I am in the minority who loves short jackets(I wear very high rise trouses)

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    @jonesy86 and @handymike disagree with you. The sandals gang will rebel against you.

    Lost Worlds’ founder Stuart interviewed

    If it wasn’t for TFL I would have never discovered Old Town, Aero Leathers, Himel, Eastman Leather Clothing, Bill Kelso, Freewheelers, Heller’s Café, LVC, Lost Worlds, Thedi, Lewis Leathers, Simon James Cathcart, Red Wing, Whitefeather, or many other brands. I traveled to Holt in Norfolk to try...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    BK jackets always age like the real deal. Fantastic. You must be one of the few who uses leather jackets the way they were intended to. For workwear!

    Lost Worlds’ founder Stuart interviewed

    What is Edgy about this: Also he has done styles which were made before by other makers like Freewheelers for example... so what he is saying is not true. To me it reads like there is a bit of hate towards anyone that may criticise anything about his brand or any brands that do stuff...

    The SJC Clothing Thread - Show us what you have or wish to have!

    Which one? (Not sure if you’re referring to the polos or tees) I got every one except the black striped polo.

    Vanson x Left Field Commando

    I do think and I am talking for myself that this is an addiction, a real one. It happens with vintage clothes too! The search for that unique jacket, that special pair of trousers or full suit is a never ending one.

    Found the „do it all jacket“ Lewis Leather Corsair No. 60

    Where do you store all those jackets? I recall reading that you have somewhat of a denim/tshirt uniform so maybe that’s where all the space comes from!

    New! ELMC Jacket Highway Star®️ Horsehide

    I have the DB leather coats in both brown and black and the horsehide is so nice. My brown one is a bit stiffer and “dry” while the black is very flexible and soft. Both are great to the touch.

    Bad experience with Lost Worlds

    To me the end result doesn’t justify the struggle with customer support. You may get an amazing jacket from other makers too but I wouldn’t tolerate being called homophobic slurs, sexist slurs, treated like a pussy, not being manly enough, not recognising mistakes, not acknowledging a **** up...

    Bad experience with Lost Worlds

    I tend to stick to my first impression. Never liked the way they did their marketing, their attitude nor what I read from other experiences with the less than friendly communications. They might make a good jacket when they do it right as some jackets in the forum prove it but this is...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    The leathers they use don’t seem to be very period accurate so I don’t see the point in following zipper accuracy when using such a heavy and thick leather.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I keep trying to wear pure linen jackets, seersucker, cotton... no way. Short sleeves and cellular cotton with pure linen trousers and I still sweat buckets. Until late October this will be unbearable, I hate the humidity here in Barcelona. I have to sleep with all the windows open and hope for...

    How do you know when a leather collar is about to crack?

    It’s a good routine to do that after every wear if you don’t wear a collared shirt. Takes less than 30 seconds.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I don’t know how you guys do it. Only the thought of wearing denim, a jacket or boots in the heat makes me sweat. I’ve been wearing linen, cotton, seersucker and cellular cotton for a couple months now and I melt. We are reaching close to 30 celsius on a daily basis and only the summer sack...
