Mandarin,
What are your thoughts on the olive satin lining? I've got a Thedi crosszip on order and was going to go w/the black cotton drill, but this seems interesting. Does it seem durable to you? How warm is it?
As great as this jacket fits, I'm probably going to regret parting with it. But the stitching is kinda rough compared to the Thedis I've owned that were the similar style, and my OCD is making it difficult to enjoy the jacket (Thedis are priced a bit higher, so you get what you pay for).
I've...
First impressions of the Liberty hide:
Stiffer than the Victory. Not comp Vanson or LW stiff, but the Victory I remember having a bit softer of a drape than this Liberty jacket, even when it was right out of the box. In terms of weight and stiffness, it reminds me of Vanson's Firenze, although I...
BK Duke in Liberty Seal HH arrived this week. Overall pretty happy with it. Their stock size 44 couldn't fit me better if it was tailored.
There are a couple of minor stitching irregularities, but that seems to be par for the course with leather jackets. I've owned a BK previously , a LW, 2...
Bought this by with my size 42 Lost Worlds Trojan, but never used it. Sold the jacket three years ago, but buyer wasn't interested in the belt. I'm moving to a new apartment, trying to minimize clutter and maximize cash, so this belt is up for grabs.
$200 brand new. I'm selling mine for $75 firm.
If I didn't buy Regius's Eastman Luftwaffe 3 weeks ago, I'd be all over this. I had the same exact jacket and hide that I sold back in 2013 and have been kicking myself ever since.
How's the wrist diameter on this one? I live 3 miles up the road from Vanson's factory, and tried on a comp...
Jacket arrived today. There's no way I would've guessed it was a four year old jacket. Could pretty much pass for new.
This is the first Eastman I've handled in person, and overall, I'm pretty impressed. If I'm picking nits, the stitching attaching the main zipper is slightly irregular on the...
I live about 4 miles away from the Vanson showroom/factory and swing by about 3 or 4 times a year. Last time I was there was when they had an open house in late Spring/early Summer, and I was considering a Thunderbird.
The comp weight leather on the Thunderbird I tried on was anything but thin...
looks like the cooling system on my car is in need of repairs that are going to need paying for, so I've got the jacket relisted on ebay w/a lower starting price if anyone is interested. Willing to consider best offers here at the FL if anyone would like to avoid a potential bidding war over...
