    What is the purpose of this inside loop/snap?

    I can’t think of anything….

    What I meant to say was it was stiff but (and I don’t know if it was right)but I used my DR Martens Wonderbalm on it because it was all I had on hand. It made a very noticeable difference. I’m sure a specialized conditioner would make it feel even more buttery. It has no cracks or wear except...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Currently in the medicine chest in my hall closet… I got into it when I was a kid and painted everything that pink/orange color. Nothing takes that stuff out!

    This coat was folded up in my grandmothers cedar chest since I was a small child. They ended up in my mothers garage after grandma died. My mom died about three years ago. I kept her house. I just recently thought to really look into them closer. I saw the start of a powdery mildew starting and...

    My reluctant eleven year old model …this will be hers someday. It won’t fit her then so we have to take advantage now. She has no idea how cool she is in that jacket.

    I was wondering the same thing…could it be stretched and broken in like a pair of tight leather shoes?

    Sadly I don’t have any family left above ground except one little girl. She has zero interest (or taste) in it. I’m going to try and educate her about how special it is. She will be too big to wear it in a few years. Her dad is 6’7” and she is well on her way to over six for hersel. It fits her...

    I have only worn it once out of the house and for only a few minutes because it hurt my shoulders. For Halloween…

    I will take more pictures in a day or two. Who am I to deny a fan (of the jacket of course…) I’m aware that they are supposed to fit snugly but it borders on painful to raise my arms at all. I have broad shoulders and a larger bone structure for a woman. A ballerina I am not. Although the jacket...

    I would wear it with an evening gown and my docs if I were to wear it but unfortunately it is too narrow in the shoulders and I wouldn’t be comfortable. Maybe a photoshoot is in order. Thank you for the encouragement.

    I had a feeling it was a women’s by the room in the chest and narrow shoulders when I scrutinized the fit. It doesn’t match the story I was told/remember hearing about it though. It will remain a mystery as all my family have passed away and took the story with them. Thanks for your time!

    Hello, I’m new to The Fedora Lounge. I found this site on another advice forum. I am looking to get more information on a Buco Motorcycle jacket and pants that were handed down to me from my great uncle who bought them new in the 50s. They are practically new looking except being folded and...
