    Linen Summer Jacket?

    I wear linen trousers in summer in warm and humid weather in Barcelona without problem. Irish linen is king when it comes to linen, heavy linen wears better and looks better. I've seen that BK linen jacket and it's very nice but it's pointless. A linen jacket for summer with liner? No, thanks...

    Fine Creek Leather

    Exactly. I can't imagine how someone who's attending many events, going to the CC show in japan, making collaborations with bootmakers like Viberg, unique designs for Clutch Cafe and in general making lots of jackets is closing business all of a sudden when it's his lifelihood (afaik).

    EBay arghh!! ##$&&

    If sellers don't want to sell on Ebay then Ebay don't get any money, by siding all the time with buyers they're pushing sellers away and they're basically losing money but I guess it doesn't matter anymore to them since Ebay is turning into a shitshow of crap merchandise being sold. It's no...

    Naive Flight Jacket Question(s)

    If you want to admire some flight jackets then watch the new Cath 22 series. Oh man I'm drooling over all those uniforms and gear. The jackets and clothes are by Eastman...

    New Aero Bootlegger v. 2.0 CXL Brown

    I guess @ton312 actually enjoys more the thrill of creating the details and waiting for a new jacket than wearing it. That's the lesson I learned here.

    Durable Horsehide Cafe racer? c.1954

    It's absolutely stunning. I'm happy that it isn't my size because it would have been difficult to pass this one had I found it on Ebay and now I would be mad because you weren't selling it :D What a wonderful colour. Regarding the brand I have another jacket by them which I have shared here in...

    Anyone from the UK here? Need some advice on UK customs and a leather jacket EBay sale

    Not only that but in my case it's almost always cheaper than waiting for the item to arrive and get taxed at customs. These days every single item from Japan and most from the US will get taxed. Even stuff that's very small and lightweight with around a $100 value which then I have to pay like...

    Lewis Leather MK1 horsehide

    It's a really cool jacket. Back in December at the TFL London meet I tried this jacket in a size 38 at Lewis and the MK II in Green. I found that the MK 1 with buttons was too long dor my torso and fit wrong while the MK 2 being shorter (My preference) fit like a glove. I still dream about the...

    Celebrities jackets

    Same here. Also what's up with Starbucks and americans? It's everywhere and it's not like their coffee is any good or cheap.

    You can own Elvis Presley's motorcycle jacket

    Errmmm nope. I wouldn't care for it even if it was the actual jacket but this is beyond ridiculous.

    Good Wear-abouts

    I don't really understand then why you would call people not to stir the pot with their current experiences or opinions but you're bringing up experiences from at least 2 years ago when you sold a GW jacket you got off Ebay and contacted him to ask about the provenance. That isn't helpful...

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

    Soviet leather flight jackets by Aero

    Not my cup of tea to be honest. They might be interesting from a history point of view but I don't like them.

    Freewheelers Sunset Deerskin Jacket

    What?! I thought you were already using them. Then there's no need to talk more about that. Those buttons are there for a reason, not just as an aesthetic detail. It looks perfectly fine. I use them all the time on my Himel for a narrower sleeve cuff. Well I'm not so sure about that, here is...

    SimmonsBilt-Now thats service!

    Some forget the foundations on which Alexander Leathers/Simmon Bilts were built on. Just because of that one shouldn't take them seriously or even consider them. Specially in such a niche world like this one. Meanwhile Aero is attending amongst other occidental leather jacket makers like Himel...
