    Langlitz sizing Q

    I think when it comes to makers like langlitz and Bates and even Vanson, these isolated, one dimensional dimensions are not very helpful (other than those one dimensional dimensions such as back length and hem width and sleeve length), pinching p2p and flattening shoulder is just not helpful...

    Another boring thread on how to order an Aero A-2

    Comment on the OP’s need to accommodate the newly gained shoukders, Aero A2 probably won’t work. This is not about “Aero Scotland”, this is about Aero Beacon (Original WW2 patterns), they are known to have less accommodating u upper back, but, has really amazing chest room, it’s like you’d have...

    Another boring thread on how to order an Aero A-2

    To be honest, I think weight and stiffness of the leather is only the lesser of the reason why walking long distances in them is tiresome. I get very tired in Aero’s HB patterns and (modern day) Schott, and certain LW models, but my Bates T2, Langlitz are of no issue, the reason is the latter...

    Full custom Field Leathers Idaho review

    For me, LW is the master of thread tension, such a delicate thing. Many brands have strong seams, but LW seams are almost like permanently fused together...

    Full custom Field Leathers Idaho review

    Lots of original jackets from the 50s have very short stitch length, and buried VERY deep into the skin. One reason is the leather gets puffier over time and it “swells” around the stitching, but another reason could be the thread tension, and the pressor foot force, was adjusted to the extreme...

    Looking at Greg’s stitching is very inspiring, can’t wait to get back to my designing and sewing, but my workshop is being completely renovated, concrete floor can take furniture until at least Dec. :(

    Would Someone Please Post Photos of Horween LUX HH in Dark Brown?

    Yes, they are normally thinner but what I was looking at was an odd batch. Also, Horween thickness tends vary. My piece (full side) was mostly very thick and plushy

    Mister Freedom Cali Denim

    adding some further comments. In terms of preference, I find the hickory twill used by Pointer Brands/LC King, on their carpenter pants and overalls, to be absolutely heaven. It's not thick, but when new it has a rigid hand and feels just coarse enough when running hand over it, after a month of...

    Mister Freedom Cali Denim

    Thanks gents. I do believe the starch has something to do with it, I’ve never properly washed these. The Lee high waisted one with goatskin, painted label sold by Aero, is from Japanese denim and used to be somewhat crispy but has fuzzed up and softened. I’d hope the MF would age like that.

    Mister Freedom Cali Denim

    This is a denim fabric question, not so much about the MF brand or construction. I have two of their California denim jeans, both claim to be made of Deadstock material, I think one is in fact cone mill. As far as their webpage goes, these are not of any type of Japanese denim. I’m never astute...

    Wayward boot tongues

    I’m so glad someone finally posted this question, been a major headache. Mainly happens to my Aldens, several models. I’m worried if I punch two holes in the middle of the tongue to run laces through, am I gonna feel the lace at the top of my instep?

    Hmm, now looking at the high pockets, I’m tempted to alter the body to make it shorter. But I love Bates products
