Five Star Leather Jackets
The issue isn’t where it’s made - it’s what QC the supervising Brand company provides. Five Star Is one off knock offs for private buyers. This will happen. I also wonder if they are up to our requirements long term. I remember a time 30 years ago where even some of the better custom leather...- Seb Lucas

Why did perfecto move from being a brand label to defining a jacket style
Some brand names stick for right or wrong - to Hoover the carpet or write with a Biro in Australia (and elsewhere) now refers to a generic tool, but used to refer to a brand. Schott marketing is pretty clumsy and inaccurate and makes several claims that seem refutable. For this reason, the...- Seb Lucas

What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?
That's actually really cool. Do they still make this - couldn't find it on the website. Is it a solid nylon and lined?- Seb Lucas

What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?
Instead of saying it's a modern take on an Indy, you could even say it is a period style take on the original which was more of a 1980's baggy A2 adaptation.- Seb Lucas

Mushmans "Adventurer" Indiana Jones Jacket in Badalassi Prugna
The barrel sleeves or unhemmed sleeves are exactly like the originals. Looks good to me and is part of the concept.- Seb Lucas

Mushmans "Adventurer" Indiana Jones Jacket in Badalassi Prugna
Yeah, it might sit differently on me at six two. I think the longer jacket may come back some day. I hope so as I am not a huge fan of the waist hugging jacket. Thanks for showing this one. I like it.- Seb Lucas

Mushmans "Adventurer" Indiana Jones Jacket in Badalassi Prugna
Looks nice. Not very screen accurate - unlike the film one it doesn't fit like a sack of 1980's lambskin shit. Although this one seems long, almost a car coat. How long is it? The movie version was 23 inches at back (the costume jacket was measured by Tony Nowak, who made the 4th movie jacket)...- Seb Lucas

1940-1950s working class mans wardrobe
As stated, depends on the job, the location and country. Lots of second hand clothing was worn. Old suits worn to some roles, sometimes with overalls on top. Often men wore Sunday clothing as work clothes once they were too worn looking to wear to church. Carpenters, storemen and railway...- Seb Lucas

70s Perfecto- Remove rear belt loop?
I hear you. I think that loop looks conspicuous and I couldn't wear the jacket knowing that was there.- Seb Lucas

Which J-100?
Yeah, I've come to a similar view. I prefer not to drop much coin on jackets and clothing as a general principle. The repops always seem to be tribute jackets in some way. They are better made than the originals, but not as much fun to my taste. However, I think some of the new Vansons still...- Seb Lucas

Bachelor Living in the Golden Era
In Australia, the same style of rooming house arrangements existed for men up until the late 1970's. When there was still a viable and large manufacturing industry here, many single working men lived above hotels (saloons) and rooming houses. Some developed drinking problems - especially if the...- Seb Lucas

What do you wear for rain wear? Shoes and jackets
Same clothes add umbrella. I like umbrellas (but only well made ones) as they usually make other rain gear unnecessary.- Seb Lucas

Fit Check on Eastman Californian
I think you can get away with that size (based on the photos) but if it feels tight it may be too small. Sleeves ride up like that because some jacket patterns were not all that well considered and makers hadn't worked out how to build a jacket that doesn't distort its shape when arms are...- Seb Lucas

Polo Ralph Lauren for sale in Australia
Not keen on RL leather jackets full stop, but the Polo blazers I have are generally among their higher quality stuff- often made in Italy but sometimes in Asia. I have had 6 corduroy Polo blazers and the quality is super excellent. Other RL items I have seen are not great, especially more recent...- Seb Lucas
