    Vanek Leather Clothing

    @Will Zach Quite nice and excellent condition of a 70s jacket. Is it yours? Recently bought? The leather looks different to mine. Would be interesting to know in which price range Engelbert Vanek is as I have no clue.

    Show your Langlitz

    Really nice Langlitz! I've never seen it before. Would be interesting if it is really 50+ years old and what Langlitz says about it. I've just realized that it would be a perfect fit for me!!!

    Post Thedi Leather Jacket Photos Here........

    @Merv That one is really nice and fits you perfectly! Do you remember which leather Thedi used for this jacket? Seems to be cowhide but which one?

    Field Leathers

    I think these are very good ideas and could solve some of his potentially upcoming problems and could help him to keep the waiting times at a normal /acceptable level. Would be interesting to know how other hiqh quality brands like Thedi are handling this...perhaps Theodoros is doing some kind...

    Field Leathers

    As he's a really nice guy I just hope that he will make right decisions at the right time and will not end up like JC - a couple of weeks ago I sent multiple e-mails to JC and tried to call him....no reaction at all till today (not a single e-mail explaining sorry, I don't take any new orders...

    Companies with staff like Thedi are also raising their prices on a regular basis. Greg would be stupid if he would not do that as long as customers are willing to pay and as long as he doesn't have real competition in this "league"

    Field Leathers

    I definitely agree but on the other hand companies like Thedi have also managed this for sure but a lot of training and talent is needed as well. I know Thedi started his business more than 40 years ago but upscaling to be capable to produce larger number of jacket happened probably in the last...

    Field Leathers

    @JustinW OMG, I bet after posting another one or two modified nice jackets (plus the ones he already made and posted) he'll be at one year waiting time (I bet by Easter in two months). I'm sure he then would consider hiring new staff but training is time consuming, too unless new staff are...

    Field Leathers

    @Jin431 I'm pretty sure that there will be many people interested in buying the same jacket you've just received granting you a discount on your next purchase would be just fair enough IMO. Btw. the FW Mulholland is no longer on my list unless I find a size 38 in very good condition at a...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    @torfjord Thanks for sharing the information. I was just WhatsApping with Marc about a Grizzly which is second hand or of course if value for money (like 5Star) is good....good to know that there is a "low cost" option to try a Grizzly out!

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

    Great idea. This leasing model already exists for other clothing and I think it can be adapted to high quality leather jackets (following link is only in German language): https://unown-fashion.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrcKuoo3z7gIVS_lRCh0KIwWtEAAYASAAEgIPJ_D_BwE

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

    @ton312 I totally agree with @MrProper I make it the same way and sometimes after one year or longer when I come to the conclusion that I probably will never wear it for some reason I'm selling it but sometimes there is a revival as Mr Proper said.

    Field Leathers

    @Jin431 That's such a beautiful leather jacket and the fit is perfect! Greg is getting better and better! IMO he should add all these modifications to his standard portfolio. If I hadn't enough black leather jackets in a similar style, I would contact Greg right away. Congrats!!

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    What a grain. The leather me of my SB Horween Bison I sold a couple of years ago....reason was as I couldn’t tame the thick and heavy almost 5oz beast.

    Vanek Leather Clothing

    @Angel Thank you for sharing details on your visit at EV! These small family run businesses (and friendly owners) should be more supported...hopefully they will change their business strategy after @monitor’s and red devil’s visit and will also re-enter the high quality Leather jacket business...

    Aero Badalassi Offering

    @Jin431 Good question. Perhaps different quality, thicker hides, etc.

    Aero Badalassi Offering

    @TheBigEraser Thanks, yes it does also remind me of the TMC Mobster also in terms of jacket sizing as they also turn out bigger than standard size 38
