    What Is the Allure of Japanese Leather Jackets?

    More than half of my students are considered impoverished, and some of them live with no running water. I made a choice to become a teacher to help them, not judge them.

    What Is the Allure of Japanese Leather Jackets?

    I'll throw another log on the fire for the discussion. And forgive me if this horse has been beaten elsewhere on the Forum. Recognizing how many wonderful, "real" vintage jackets there are out there, some in amazing condition, what is the allure of buying a one of these "modern vintage"...

    What Is the Allure of Japanese Leather Jackets?

    A lot of tradition in places seems to be going by the wayside. Enough so, that I am skeptical to put labels on anyone, especially younger people. I live in a rural county that is historically known for hard-working, conservative farm workers with good manners. As a school teacher now, I can...

    What Is the Allure of Japanese Leather Jackets?

    Thank you for your post. Unfortunately, my homework has not been very fruitful. As an example, the Real McCoys has been around for a number of years, yet their website tells nothing of their history, manufacturing process, employees, etc. https://therealmccoys.com/pages/about-the-real-mccoys...

    What Is the Allure of Japanese Leather Jackets?

    Maybe one goal of this thread should be to separate the "real deal" makers from those who jumped on the bandwagon. BTW-the aforementioned company that "sets the standard of quality" also describes itself as "zen as f _ _ _" on its website. I guess anyone who states that on their website must...

    What Is the Allure of Japanese Leather Jackets?

    Am creating this thread to educate myself and others about current Japanese manufacturers as well to elicit opinions as to whether they are a good investment. I have found rather limited information about some Japanese firms. I realize there may be threads about individual makers, but thought...

    There are numerous shenanigans now. Over the past year, I have discovered a few American companies who started slowly producing overseas...so slowly that people did not notice the change. The companies had such a strong American heritage, I think their executives figured that by the time...

    Very well stated. I like the way you categorized Taylor. I'll make a general statement, not directed at you Claybertrand. And I may not say this just right, but I'll try anyway. One could argue that a number jackets today are being squeezed into a fashion purpose. Some had utilitarian roots...

    I just read Jmax's post about spending $200 or more on a zipper replacement. I've been intrigued by previous posts concerning zippers. Just curious as to opinions concerning at what point it becomes a wise investment to "do it right." By "wise," I mean potential for return on investment if...

    What Are The Hottest Leather Jacket Brands of 2021?

    What I am trying to accomplish with this latest survey is to establish what jacket brands Loungers are pursuing this year, regardless of the source. In that sense, this list is a reflection of the brands most Loungers have on their radar screens this year. Even if Loungers are buying and...
