    Himel Bros jacket, 1st winter update

    Why should this punishment that you claim stop, if he’s the one that keeps on posting on IG victim blaming, blocking TFL members for no reason and making pathetic attempts on YouTube to save face instead of doing the right thing and own up his mistakes? As long as he keeps on going, we as a...

    Himel Bros jacket, 1st winter update

    Prospective buyers have the right to know that: 1. He actually doesn’t stand behind his product as he claims, as evidenced here in TFL by multiple customers with issues over the years. 2. His more expensive pricing to the competition is not justified as the superior product that he promises...

    Freewheelers leather jackets

    Awesome, cheers. I might give it a try on my black FQHHCXL Aero Sheene, I like the fact that I won’t loose the brown tea core coming up. Does it make it softer by any chance? I don’t mind the weight of it but the stiffness in colder days is a real pain.

    Man that beard is perfectly trimmed, what a masterpiece!

    The McCoy jacket shown in the pic has shoulder gussets, not an action back or bi-swing back, in which the collapsible gusset goes further down the back. In case you want to specify one of them, but I’m sure Greg would let you know to be sure if your request.

    The most ridiculous Himel yet? Freenote Collab Beck.

    This is how you do it. Well done Mr. Calder, a class act.

    Unfortunately it’s way too big for you comparing it with how well your other jackets fit you. Off to the classifieds with it.

    The most ridiculous Himel yet? Freenote Collab Beck.

    Totally unrelated but while we’re discussing bespoke, cutter, Saville row et al, there’s a new-ish movie called “The Outfit” with Mark Rylance that I highly recommend, it’s on Netflix. .

    unwearable jacket, ideas please?

    True. I forgot about that part.

    unwearable jacket, ideas please?

    You could get someone to make a shirt style collar in a nice mutton color that would go well with the rest of the jacket and corduroy underneath , so it won’t matter the leather matching. Five star could be a budget option, but others like Thedi could do it nicer, albeit pricier.

    Hard to know without someone wearing it, but it does look rather long, doesn’t it? Edit: typos, apparently I can’t type.

    The big difference with Goodwear is that JC is considered the undisputed master of WW2 wartime jacket reproductions, so his niche is very defined and established. Others like Thedi have also achieved a unique personal style in his creations that is not only extremely skilful but also very...

    Field Leathers

    History in this forum shows that makers can go from heroes to villains rather seamlessly. I remember clearly when John Chapman of GoodWear was revered on a god-like status a few years ago, then the prolonged wait times and lack of communication made him loose that status and now we hardly ever...

    If that’s the case, they’ll be looking at years before they actually get a jacket they bought in a mad rush on the pre-launch day. Doesn’t seem like a reasonable option in my opinion.

    Field Leathers

    According to Carl’s post here they’ve sold 50 (!!) jackets in the first 24 hours after the launch. That sounds like a lot of jackets to be made by a one-man-show that has a serious backlog of orders. Perhaps, and this is just speculation, he is outsourcing some of the construction of this line...

    I’m itchy just thinking about having that all hair rubbing on my neck.
