    Ever think some jackets are overhyped

    Well let me first respond by saying I'm not necessarily excusing Himel. Personally, if I did I'd own one of his jackets, but I did the math factoring in all the aforementioned points of this thread and beyond and yeah, not worth the price imo. My post was to illustrate that within this realm of...

    Ever think some jackets are overhyped

    Sorry, late to this party, but here's my answer. It's how you perceive quality and how hyped it is in your own head. The market dictates price, so clearly there's enough people hyped up enough to buy it, but doesn't necessarily mean it's overhyped. There's always a reason for this, and frankly...

    Schott PER70 Perfecto Review

    Nice man! I always had a soft spot for Schotts, like you said, at the end of the day, if it makes you happy and you're able to spend it, do it. So often we get caught up on needing this or that, we get too caught up buying a list an forget it's a garment, and if it's a unicorn garment where you...

    Johnson Leather Car Jacket Custom

    Thank you man. Another fringe benefit is now my bedroom has a lingering scent of it, the horween leather just smells great. I wish I had more opportunity to wear it to break it in faster. Just staying it at home isn't doing a whole lot so may be years before there any noticeable difference.

    Have I made a mistake? ( jacket on order )

    Yeah, I told them I dunno what it is but they have some kind of secret sauce for shoulder fit.

    @yellowfever to expound on the simplistic, less is more point, take a look at @Jin431 recent jacket with the masaye leather, I mean they just nail it.

    Johnson Leather Car Jacket Custom

    Thanks man! Yeah I like little details like that. I really don't like olive drab, just my personal preference, and I do like blue so there it was. But then I wanted contrast stitching on the top button hole, a design element used on suits, went with a beige color to match the lining, so with the...

    Johnson Leather Car Jacket Custom

    Thanks bro. Yeah, I wanted do something that was a bit nicer for dinner night, otherwise I'd just wear a hoody lol. And I could layer up.

    Johnson Leather Car Jacket Custom

    I didn't even see the two dudes in the picture for a minute. Thank you! I do too, I just can't see myself with a leather blazer, just not my style.

    Johnson Leather Car Jacket Custom

    Well, I tend to be a bit overzealous when it comes to comfort and function, as my post probably demonstrated. As long as you know what you're getting into, I'm sure you'll be fine.

    Johnson Leather Car Jacket Custom

    Thank you. During the planning phase, my mindset was to make something, as the kids say, for the gram, or in this case, for the Fedora Lounge, lol. I wanted a "geek" jacket, so the brainstorm session included everything from half belts to different action backs, to ball and chain chest pockets...

    That hair can win wars and cure cancer.

    Have I made a mistake? ( jacket on order )

    I think the consensus is go for it. I think what you're feeling is the challenge of trying something new and outside your comfort zone, and personally there is absolutely nothing wrong with that and frankly everyone should do more of that. And the Bootlegger isn't this crazy fashion statement...

    Johnson Leather Car Jacket Custom

    Yeah it's stiff for sure, I can stand it up on its own. I think Damon is going to be posting pictures of me on their IG soon.

    Johnson Leather Car Jacket Custom

    Hey, I think you were walking out as I was walking in yesterday. I love it. It's still very much CXL, I can still stand the jacket up on its itr instance despite the thinner hide, so its still plenty thick and won't be confused with lambskin or anything. It's breaking in nicely, seems like...

    Johnson Leather Car Jacket Custom

    Yeah for Northern CA, really don't need a heavier leather. Plus it gives you options for layering anyway. I feel I could wear a t shirt, hoody, and this jacket, and should be fine in Tahoe in the snow. Lol, the Benchmade Axis Flipper is indeed happy to see you, next to a Tactile Turn pen. Nice...
