Oh this Lesco four pocket style is a killer. They were very well made like a beast and the pocketing are all random thick wool blend fabrics, the zippers are tough and the leather ages beautifully. I recently bought myself two, one black one brown. Plus they use the decorated solid brass side...
Resoled Viberg 10” CXL horse. The factory rubber sole and massive heel are just wrong, if you don’t intend to ever walk, just stand still and shovel coal, sure. Too much Vibram rubber and too large a heel made it too heavy, and the large ground contact surface made it hard to walk. Izet of...
I have a pair of the 18oz coral denim bought from Aero, made in Italy, the fabric is absolutely amazing, I only wish they make jacket from it, it has a "teacore" undertone, vs the regular white underside, but the fit is not what I'm hoping for (101z I'm talking about, with dark brown leather...
“We're really gratified when someone who doesn't collect experiences LOST WORLDS gear -- the vast majority of our customers -- someone who just craves an amazing American leather jacket or rides devotedly and needs one. There are still discriminating guys who appreciate artisan caliber quality...
This horsehide, whether it’s from the same tannery in the Vicenza area as aero’s, its very good, no complaint. It’s exactly where it’s to be at. I like the aero jerky, Vicenza, Eastman warhorse, shinki, horsemen Essex and Lux, all good stuff, but not so much for CXL for garment anymore, it...
Maybe they still do contract works, a possibility. I don’t know, but, as long as ALL customers don’t stand united in solidarity, this type of business will always survive and even thrive, after all, in terms of product quality, the bad ones are still very rare. Luxury, niche goods tend to sell...
Bought this during lockdown, turned out 44 is a bit too roomy, this is a “blouse” so it has a bit of a bomber jacket fit, I bought a 42 and fit much more like a jean jacket. This one has undergone a cold rinse, so it’s wrinkled but did not receive outdoor wear (again, lockdown purchase). I’ll...
@Robbie79, I think it’s their old Liberty, I had an Escape A2 from BK when they first launched fit. I was probably the first. It was the same material Eastman uses on the USAAF wallet, same tannery. But this one is very much Vicenza.
There’s no catch really, the advantage is that the “custom” goes farther than Aero. More detailed sizing, and the design is meant to copy a hit, actual jacket from the lightning magazine. However, as I mentioned, the pattern may not be an accurate copy. A keen eye can tell (pattern recognition...
I’ve had this question for a long time, Aero, Buzz, Eastman, Roleclub, etc, are very very busy, oh and Lewis, because 1) there are more individual consumers who buy and don’t return their jackets than pissed customers who hate them or want to return, and 2) there are many stockiest around the...
Selling this beautiful silverbelly Open Road, a nice hybrid between a cowboy and fedora. But I’m not a hat guy so I’ll let the hat speak for itself. Owned it for a bout two months or less, only posed in doors, I realized 7.25 is a tad too large for me. Otherwise the hat is a real work of art...
