Having fun with this probably early 2000 banana republic suede truckerish. Was more of a beige-brown when I got it. Had a few little stains and dryness. Gave it a wash and sprayed it with lexol and water. Needs a good 2 or 3 day dry in the sun to even out some. I'm thinking about swapping...
Been starting every morning with this to get some ease and take away some shine. Coming along nicely, big difference past couple weeks.
and then I remembered it was st patty day, so green jacket, albeit from English company :cool:

Awesome Vespa. My uncle owned a store selling them in Hollywood in the 70s. He's got some great celebrity stories. My two favorites:
Ray Charles (yes that Ray Charles) used to ride one. Someone would follow behind him with a radio and tell him when to brake, when to turn, etc. My uncle...
I think it's more than fair to say that certain people look better in certain styles and even go so far to say that maybe certain people don't look as good in certain styles.
Photography is tricky. I don't think most are capturing "a picture is worth a thousand words" or at least not as they...
LOL. Yeah, this was a woman who said it to me LOL. I wasn't in a good mood and usually don't get confrontational, but there was something about the way she said it that needed a proper response. Had it been some big dude, I might not have said anything :eek:
And you're right, the compliments...
@Canuck Panda I know it's hard to tell from photos sometimes, but that trucker is the best thing on here I've seen yet from a leather perspective. For criticism, I don't like how the snaps are laid out. They probably could have been spaced out better to be equidistant. I'm not totally opposed...
Just hit 50 and getting better. The collection is coming along and finally getting more wears and I just don't give a F* I'm doing what makes me happy. It's amazing how many people dress like complete slobs going out. Wearing pants and nice shoes is already 95% better than what's out there...
Epic. After seeing Jin's, I started leaning to brown pony. Now Im Sold. This is incredible. Doing something in the same scope but with a little flair. We'll see if that holds as I got another 5 months. If he starts cranking out shearling, I might have to take a detour.
Don't be so sure. Ventura is a surfer town. The main shop was probably less than a mile or two away from the ocean. I wouldn't be surprised if there are some old polaroids of guys in long hair rocking their jackets by the pier LOL.
LOL, I hear ya. I live by the LA store. Every time I go there now, I leave my wallet at home LOL. I kind of feel bad for the sales guys, but I did buy at least 2 or 3 new ones from there a few years back and I've sent them a bunch of customers who I know want new and don't have the patience...
these are best value for the money jackets end of story. I owned this darker brown too, but the tan brown has more of a pull up effect. That one hits up at least twice or triple in price to similar things I've seen.
shout out to the Schotts. They do not get the love they deserve. Probably over priced as new, but given their availability, you can easily find most models for as much as 50% off in very new conditions.
That 618 fits like my 613Sh. I was kind of worried it was bordering sausage ville, but...
