    Where to Buy Non-Leather Cossack of Campus Jacket?

    Try looking for the LVC cossack in moleskin. They call it “suedette”. Also @dudewuttheheck bought one from that japanese brand.

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

    Yay! I just bought this morning the Eastman Leather Clothing Brooklands motoring coat for £500. A new one costs £1300 so I consider it a great deal for such a special coat. Seller accepted the offer which is awesome. I already have the black WWI 3/4 German leather coat in size 40(I can layer...

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

    I sent an offer tonight. Let’s see if seller accepts or counter offers. I had to resist Mister Freedom restock of the Stallion. I just don’t see myself having to pay so much taxes in a jacket now even after the 30% discount. Also I feel like seeing the same jacket on everyone makes it less...

    Freewheelers La Brea Rude Black

    This proves that working out is a pain in the ass when it comes to clothing and fit. Having to change the wardrobe as you grow must be terrible and at the same time exciting because you get to buy new stuff. Great fit! It’s a great style.

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

    I am going to sleep on the purchase of a jacket I have on my wishlist. I am wearing the black version of it to bed to break it in a bit and I guess it will help make my decission.

    It does look good. The only thing that would bug me personally is the flag but other than that the design looks nice and the fit on you is great.

    Himel Bros Peregrin

    I really like it a lot. It is a bold style with the two tone leather but it doesn’t have any bling bling like the other designs.

    Aero damage

    I don’t see that “every two months” wipe. I’d rather clean the sweaty mess as soon as I get home and prevent any damage at all. It takes less than a minute

    When did Eastman change their Luftwaffe label?

    I was lucky enough to buy my WWI German 3/4 black coat from ELC for just 430€ or so from Ebay in France. Basically unworn, it just had a small flaw with the top stitch in one of the seams that joins the shoulder and the arm which was unravelling and was cut. Not sure it poses a structural...

    @HPA Rep might know this info. I have a DB black coat with this label too.

    Stretching Cowhide Leather

    If you tried to stretch the waist on the jacket you’d have a hard time doing it with all the stitching. The problem is not that leather doesn’t stretch but rather than when it is surrounded by seams and thread that leather won’t stretch because those things prevent it to. One also risks...

    Quarantine splurge

    I would just wear it a lot. If I were to buy a natural leather jacket I think I’d fight the temptation to do anything with it. Be the only one that has wear it as is! Vintage_engineer_boots has done that with the stallion and actually created a competition for it on Instagram. The jackets...

    Two premier highwaymen

    As good as it gets. Both look spot on to me. Having one of each colour means you have the whole range of jackets you really need.

    Ladies Perfecto style jackets? Anyone?

    I’ve been using Buyee to buy items from Yahoo auctions with no trouble at all for over a year now. Problem at the moment is that they don’t ship anything and there’s no telling when they will. They store the packages for 30 days or you have to pay storage after that. They have frozen the...
