    Wow, add 2” in length to the front? Let me get another pic of the front.

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    It's definitely on the longer side - I have just owned so many OTR jackets in my life that were a tad too short for my elongated torso that I might overcompensate a bit when going custom. My Field Leathers will be shorter, but on this one I think I like that extra length.

    JL fit jacket just arrived and it feels pretty damn near perfect to me. What do you all think?

    Wait times are now up to seven months, but I just got an email from Greg that he is starting my pattern on Saturday!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    It's the second dose that's a killer. I felt pretty rough the next day and then a little off for a few more days after that.

    Field Leathers

    ^ This is probably true. Jacketheads will order over the summer, because it’s in their blood and brain year round. Normal people start thinking they may need a new jacket sometime in Autumn and won’t want to wait until Winter is over to receive it.

    Field Leathers

    The 7% price hike isn't unreasonable, but that wait till will deter a lot of people. I'm probably one of them.

    Applying Obenauf's Boot Preservative to a leather jacket

    Interesting results. Ive only ever used Obernauf’s LP on boots and in some cases I was disappointed at how much they darkened them. Do you think it’s the jacket leather - it just isn’t porous enough to hold a lot of oil and wax? Or is it so porous that it is soaking it all in deep? Either way...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Speaking of kids, part of me really wants to get my 10 and 7 year olds badass leather jackets, but I know they would outgrow them before ever appreciating how damn cool they look!

    The ultimative Denim Trouser Thread?

    Whipcord is really just a twill - I just like the color of these. I think I am going to get the dark olive pair. I also like the brown ticking stripe they added today.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I am in the same boat in that I don’t feel confident I could provide the detailed specs to instruct them on creating a one-off jacket. I’m thinking I will probably send detailed pics of a vintage jacket I like along with my measurements and instructions to copy every detail in the pictures...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Haha, funny you say that. On my initial order I spec’ed inside sleeve zippers and later changed it to cuffs. I’m still on the fence. It’s annoying having to zip the sleeves whenever I put a jacket on, but unzipped they can look like sleeve flairs. Regular cuffs in heavy CXL sometimes run on the...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    The only suede jacket I've owned was black, but I have never understood the 'you can't get suede wet' thing. I don't think it shows water damage and it doesn't shrink anymore than similar hairless hides. You can spray it with silicon as a protectant and water proofer if you want, but usually a...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I'm still kicking around ideas for a suede jacket as my next order. Maybe a half belt or a slim and simple HWM type design, bit I really want a thick, rough-out leather and not a flimsy skived mall suede. Also, I keep going back to the rust color of the Aero Majestic and then feeling less...

    ebay's break up with Paypal and new payment method

    EXACTLY! And I can justify new purchases like a Field Leathers jacket with "oh, it's just something I picked up cheap with a little money I had sitting in my PayPal account".
