    Lost worlds Easy Ryder FQHH question

    I've been to his website; did Google searches and have been looking here as well. What I'm trying to figure out is this: does anyone with direct experience know how squeaky these jackets typically are? For some people it doesn't matter but I am just not a fan of any squeak beyond "a little". Thanks

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    That is a very attractive hide you are showing. I'm interested in your review and especially how pliable the leather is in the pocket areas. When I got mine, they did do one thing I didn't want which was to put the inside pocket on the interior, left side of the jacket. So there are multiple...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Hi. The wool lining is good and warm. It is a bit scratchy, not as smooth as my pea coat wool. Does the job though and has held up fine so far.

    I may have been the first person to get 5* to model this jacket. Definitely Thedi inspired! The first draft was in the (terrible) CHL leather they offered which I ordered, despite being warned that it was not suitable for jackets. After some discussion with Shawn, he remade the jacket in the...

    Red Wing Moc Toe boots. I wasn't sure I'd like the Christy Vibram sole but turns out I do like it. Cheers!

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    IDK about Thurston Bros, but I have experience with 5* for jackets. You will come closest to a great experience with 5* if you are extremely specific with all the measurements of every element of your jacket. Don't leave anything to chance. If you don't get all the details communicated to them...

    I'd probably fare better wearing a leather jacket when trimming cat claws. My little cat is a Tiger in her own mind!

    Schott 688 classic heavy cowhide jacket

    Happy New Year, all! Does anyone have this jacket? I've been looking at it and wondering pro's or con's from anyone who has had one or handled it. Your thoughts appreciated. (I did a google search and a search here but didn't get much in the way of hits). Thanks...

    Regius built Windward repro! Black Stallion!

    The fit of the jacket, looking from the back, really brings home that the maker nailed it. It's a very well done project all around! Cheers! Enjoy the jacket in good health! Well done, @regius !

    Temps finally dropping into the 55F range. This is a 5* jacket with a wool lining and qulited satin sleeve lining. I couldn't feel the chilly wind at all.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Stay clear of the CHL leather at all costs. This leather is NOT suitable for jackets unless it is shaved down about 50%. It is baseball glove leather not for jackets. I know from experience.

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    Thanks for the replies. Not sure I want to go all different brass buttons. If I replaced them all, I'd probably go with the larger, black plastic buttons. Thanks though! Ps sorry I didn't post in the main thread. I guess I thought it would get lost.

    Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat

    I just picked up a Sterlingwear of Boston 100% wool Reefer peacoat for cheap. Just missing one button that looks like the attached picture. I'm doing some google searching but not coming up with a lot that matches. Any ideas on a good source for a replacement? Thanks!
