    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    "I wear this jacket every weekend in the AM until the eye rolling wife daughter duo awaken." Know that feeling well, "why is dad up so early on the weekends?" I stopped by Vanson last week while in the area for work. I could've spent hours in that place. The z150 is a rare beast of a leather...

    There are plenty like it, but this RMC J-100 is all mine!

    thanks @Gamma68. Trade secret, I put lengths of pool noodle in the sleeves.

    I was surprised as well. I thought a 44 would work but the retailer recommended I size up. Glad I did. Chances were slim that a 46 would be sitting around so S & S indicates that I could order it for their fall delivery. Next day he tells me there is one available if I want it. It took about a...

    I keep telling my wife we need to move to Stockholm to increase outerwear requirements. She’s not at all impressed with the idea.

    I read so much about Shinki, much of it from your site and posts here. Great resource!

    A bit too hot for leather but I finally bit the bullet and bought a grail jacket. Over the last two years, I've purchased several jackets in my search for a cafe racer (pre-owned Aero CR & BR and a new Schott 530 among others) but none were exactly what I was looking for. The Vanson Comet was...

    That is THE perfect brown. Well done! Must be kind of nice to know that you'll never see another like it.

    I remember reading about Obama's jacket. It's by Rag & Bone, I think it was gift by the maker. https://www.rag-bone.com/mens/coats-jackets/manston-bomber-M265251OB.html?unisex=men&cgid=mens-jackets&utm_campaign=21181&utm_medium=affiliate&categoryfrom=men&clickId=2720640948&utm_source=pjn#start=10

    Freewheelers LaBrea

    "Full disclosure, it might be healthier to not bother with all that and just not think about it..." Very well said. As a boot and shoe guy, I remember pouring over every stitch when I got something new. "Shell cordovan and the like can cost upwards of $1000, I'm entitled to a perfect pair,"...

    wash your jeans?

    What is it that you find boring about sanforized? I look for fit and how they age as the two most important factors. I haven’t found a big difference between the two after wearing raw and selvedge denim since 2010 or so. Right now I’m in 3sixteen unsanforized which are a great fabric. It takes...

    wash your jeans?

    Thanks! Definitely on my list. I've never worn anything heavier than 14oz so something 50% heavier seems outrageous. However, so many folks rave about the wearability of IH 21oz denim, it's really something I'd like to try. Appreciate the recommendation.

    wash your jeans?

    Thanks for the heads up. Haven't owned IH yet. Always wanted to try the heavyweights. For me, 3Sixteen's CT offers the right amount of room up top and decent taper. Not sure I'd want more than that. Big fan of Railcar flight trousers. They are also top notch! I ended up buying both colors over...

    3Sixteen CT cut is perfect, higher rise, slight taper.

    Captain Obvious' Genius Cheapo Hanger Hack for Jackets

    I like those. I buy the wide wood hangers but as a size 44-46 they are rarely perfect. What’s the brand name on these? I’ll try to find a US source.
