    FS: Bill Kelso "Duke", size 44, seal brown Victory HH

    Hi guys, thanks for the interest. Measurements are: pit to pit 24 shoulders 19 back 25 sleeve 25 3/4 As far as weight, I'm not sure. I also own a Lost Worlds HH Trojan, and that one is around 4oz leather if I recall correctly. The BK feels considerably more like "clothing" than theLW, lol. The...

    FS: Bill Kelso "Duke", size 44, seal brown Victory HH

    Selling my Bill Kelso Duke. Size 44, seal brown, Victory Horsehide. I've worn it out of the house about a dozen times, so it's still in pretty close to new condition. Brand new, this would cost $1238 plus shipping, plus whatever the wait period is at BK these days. So, I'm asking $1100...

    What's the best heavyweight hoodie you would recommend?

    The Ranger LT hoodie is hands down the most used piece of outwear I own. Works great for layering underneath my motorcycle gear, I can actually still hear and see stuff with the hood up because of its smart design, the Polartec material used is highly wind and water resistant compared to other...

    What's the best heavyweight hoodie you would recommend?

    can't go wrong with these guys: http://store.tripleaughtdesign.com/Apparel/Sweaters-Hoodies I own their Ranger LT and Praetorian hoodies. Both really top notch, and they have a bit more of an athletic, fitted cut to them which makes them great for layering.

    Incredible no-expense-spared D-Pocket replica...

    That came out really good looking.

    Lost Worlds owners leather question

    I received a LW Trojan in 3.5 oz black horsehide in October. Hands down the nicest jacket I've ever owned, or even handled for that matter. The leather, the stitching...EVERYTHING is perfect on it. The jacket was a little stiff out of the box, but that's to be expected with a heavier weight...

    Vanson jacket from Insurrection

    I received one of these jackets from Insurrection over the summer, and it is definitely a sharp looking jacket. For the price point though, I was surprised to see that the bottom of the zipper (I don't know the technical term, but on the side with the slider, it's the thing at the bottom end...

    Reproduction Western Belts

    Matt and Marineabilly, I've often wondered when pondering taking a crack at making one of these myself, what kind of leather do you use for the accent panels? Is it heavy weight stuff, or do you just use scrap upholstery leather or something?

    Insurrection, Seattle, WA

    When I ordered it in October, I said I wanted the belt. Exact words were something along the lines of "I'd like it exactly like on the website, belt, collar; everything." I remember Wade talking about how it doesn't have the contrast panels like some other jeweled western belts, because if the...

    Do you wear a fedora with your leather jacket?

    Vanson T-Bird and AB Fedora are my standby's for Fall, mild Winter, and most Spring weather in New England.

    Insurrection, Seattle, WA

    I have a custom Vanson CHP on order with Insurrection. I can't speak to the jacket, as it's not yet ready, but the several times I've spoken to either Wade or Carrie on the phone, they were both great to talk with. You can tell that they both have tons of knowledge for vintage threads, and a...

    Need input on tall leather boots

    I'd stay away from Motocowboy. I've purchased their wares on two occassions, and in both instances, my $500 boots were of costume quality, nowhere near durable enough for use in the field or on a motorcycle. The 2nd order was a number of years after the first, and they messed up on my calf...

    Custom Leather

    It's not a custom, but the quality on my Vanson Thunderbird is top notch. Not a seam or stitch out of place, and the steerhide is thick but supple. I've heard they're making some of their less expensive jackets in South America now, but looking over their product line, I think that must be...

    Nylon, Cotton, or Wool lining?

    I'm thinking about buying a LW Trojan, and noticed they've got a deluxe version on their specials page with custom zippers and wool lining. It's not much more than the stock model would be once you factor in the cost of the belt, so even though it's more money than I'm comfortable spending on a...

    Legendary Brown HH Wild Stallion...

    I'd be interested in hearing about how you dyed it as well.

    Motorcycle Jackets and a Fedora?

    Kid Rock definitely pulls that look off. I'm no fan of Kid Rock, or how he dresses typically, but I think his longer hair gives him a sort of bohemian look that kind of subverts how typical 'rules of fashion' and certain 'looks' apply to him or look on him, compared to a regular, adult male with...

    Motorcycle Jackets and a Fedora?

    When it's not summer, my Brando-style Vanson Thunderbird and Adventurebilt Fedora are pretty much my every-day outerwear uniform. You can definitely pull that look off, no problem. I own a couple of Cafe Racer jackets (an Icon Retro Daytona - tons of patches-, and a Wilson's, dark brown with...
