    What leather conditioner do you use?

    I believe it was John Chapman who recommended vaseline for leather jackets once in this forum. I bought a big metal tin with it and I used it on one of my oldest leather jackets and it did wonders.

    Freewheelers LaBrea

    Carlos my choice if you liked the leather tabs would have been to put a couple a few stitches on it like on some leather works maybe forming a X or something. Pretty and would have saved you the trouble of sanding the pointy edge. I somehow don't really understand it's function though. If you...

    Engineer Boots - Heel Replacement

    I would send them to a GOOD cobbler that does repairs. One that is also a bootmaker if possible. Someone like him for example: https://www.instagram.com/felixjouanneau/ Don't trust your Engineer boots to someone who could do a crappy job.

    New Aero Bootlegger v. 2.0 CXL Brown

    As cool as the first 2 ones looked let's be real here. What use is the leather jacket if he can't even wear a shirt underneath? He lives in Chicago, not in California or Florida where he can get away with wearing just a tee. This one looks great and functional, just break it in and will look...

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

    I would tend to agree but I think the second possibility is the one that holds more true I'm afraid. If I'm not wrong once you decide on the jacket model until you receive it isn't that long of a time so such a volatile difference in taste of jackets would be very surprising! I think that as...

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

    I am quite surprised at the amount of GW that end up for sale to be honest. One would think that people would hold on to them after the long period wait time and the custom fit (Not refering to this one in particular that was a sales page item)

    FDR's Japanese Concentration Camps (jacket content)

    A very sad picture and reminder of the sad history of japanese in the US but with tree fantastic leather jackets and cool hats by the men in the family. It's a very famous picture that is shared from time to time because of the father's leather jacket and the little kid. You can barely see the...

    Crazy !

    I do believe that most of the people here could buy this jacket. They just don't want to and prefer to have +10 jackets instead of 1 or 2 because you just see more value in having 10 choices rather than only a few. The thing is that we don't really "need" so many choices and if we settled for...

    What other things do jacket junkies feel it's not ok to go for the cheapest option

    I like watches, I always wear one but I very much dislike big watches so anything modern is a no go. I would always go for the cheapest vintage mechanical watch available on Ebay. I don't buy anymore but I have 2-3 that each didn't cost me more than 20-40$ (3 Elgin, from the 20s and 30s). They...

    Inspiration LA 2019 - Who’s going? | Recommended spots to visit in LA

    What I've been told is that the prices of vintage there are just surreal and that the japanese will buy everything before anyone even gets a chance to look.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    That's the way to go like @A-1 has been doing with the cross zip. For example this whole winter I am only wearing my Himel Grizzly because all my other vintage leathers have character already and they are not warmer to wear.
