    I think he's fazing out the Italian leathers and going for Horween, at least that's what he told me a couple of months back.

    The Background

    I think it's human nature to look at other interesting details in the background. I think if you were to take a picture in your room to show off your jacket, you should at least keep it tidy, or the background free of clutter simply because it's distracting to the viewers. I can see how...

    Buco JH-1

    I think the DD fits oddly on you, it's wide and narrow at weird places, especially compared to the fit photos in your database thread (which by the way is very useful, because your fits are usually close to perfect) From my short time on the forum DD seems to be hit or miss, for example the...

    Vanson Model J fit help.

    Isn't Vanson made in the US. You don't have to pay duty for that in Canada because of NAFTA. At least I think. You need to ask customs for a form for Vanson to fill out though.

    which jacket for canadian winter?

    at some point, you just have to layer properly for the most warmth. Leather is not a good option when it's -20. B3, or other shearling flight jackets are warm enough typically, but it is too short. Maybe a B7, but it's really too heavy compared to modern down Parkas.

    Himel Score Jacket

    woah I didn't know this was a repro of a existing jacket. cool that it was made in Toronto too. I guess there were a lot of Canadian brands for leather back then.

    Freewheelers Caboose Jacket

    I think I read the thread in the other forum you posted. I don't think people understand that different body types are going to fit into a stock sized jacket differently. If you went down to a 40, there's no way you are going to zip up your jacket due to chest size. I also think a lot of opinion...

    Himel Score Jacket

    Can you wear this half zipped and just have the flap dangle. I know the chevalier is a different design but can you potentially wear it like this.

    Himel Frobisher in 42. 1st leather jacket I own.

    i saw this jacket in real life, the leather is really nice, it's more grainy than shinki and less stiff imo. Looks great on you.

    My first "real" leather jacket - where to put my money?

    yeah trying the product on is a huge plus for me imo. You dont have to worry about fit and sending out measurements for the first time which can be confusing.

    Himel Brothers Leather Co.

    I wonder how the process works, did he make a counter offer to your bids?

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

    yeah the fit or cut is not right. But then again I never thought these jackets look great when you button it up the entire way. The best ones I've seen are worn either open or only buttoned half way up

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

    yeah pretty much this, If you gonna do a full bespoke Himel, you better think about it as a forever thing unless you are made of money. But then again plenty of people (like me) hoard things in hobbies and never resell. Would you pick up a bargain second hand Himel though? that way the loss...

    Real McCoy buco j 100 vs Eastman j 100 vs aero j 100 ?

    I have tried on RM J100 and J24, The fit as everyone said is definitely different. I mean I'm Asian with a slim build, even I feel like their armholes are really high and sleeves slim/tight. I can't imagine a bigger guy comfortably fitting into it. I would not buy a RM without actually trying it...
