    Do try this at home: leather jacket repair tips

    @stringer So it all depends on whether you need the biswing for movement or it's just sloppy for a lack of better word because you don't need the extra give. If you need it, it's a super easy fix by any seamstress and certainly tailor worth their salt. $15-20. They make a small cut in lining...

    The Real McCoy's J-82 (size 44, fits like 42)

    You Trouble maker you LOL. Very tempting, believe me. My biggest issue is I'm not an action back fan. Every time I get one, the silhouette really bugs me. I've even resorted to sewing them down. That works for a cheap jacket, but I wouldn't want to risk on such a nice piece. Got to admit...

    The Real McCoy's J-82 (size 44, fits like 42)

    wow. Was eyeing this jacket at Standard & Strange. Couldn't get myself to spend almost $3k on a jacket. Got in line for a Field Leathers jacket with the idea to recreate it and add/takeaway a couple things. But had I known this was going to appear, wow. Someone going to get a great deal here.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    New levis type 3. Quite surprised how good this feels. Squeezed into a medium but don't think I could ever wash it for fear of shrinkage.

    Five Star A1-A2-G1 Frankenstein

    Lets give it another bump. Too nice of a jacket to be sitting out the cold weather. A few five stars have sold lately, so looking for some good mojo. Can't do much better on a bang for buck level.

    try to compress the slider with pliers on each side. Be gentle, but see if you can do a light squeeze. That helped fix the problem on a talon i had.

    Black Friday sheepskin advise

    Aero from time to time has 10% military/sheepskin and 25% off other style. Not sure if they usually do black friday, but they just did the discount maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago. It's worth contacting them telling them you were going to buy something and missed and if they could still honor 10%...

    What jeans are you wearing today ?

    I can't tell you how much research I did. Like it's really ridiculous. If I went just off their website sizing suggestions, I would have ordered size 35. Would have been huge on me. Ultimately I went with my current "vanity" size that I would buy for banana republic, gap, levis, etc. which...

    Vanson fit pics w question

    Both look just about right. Yes, the B is a racer style and in theory should fit and look tighter. If you want to go by the "book", you should actually go one size down on the B. I don't recommend, but if you were truly trying to recreate the cafe racer style, it should be more snug. It...

    What jeans are you wearing today ?

    Thanks. Bravestar just posted their Black Friday special. Looks like 2 styles of jeans for $72 each. If you're on the subscriber list you get first dibs. Not sure if posted to general public yet.

    What jeans are you wearing today ?

    Got my bravestar 13 oz today. Love it. They are tight but comfortable. Can get top button closed, again tight but im not really forcing it either.. Wondering if I should push it and go down one size. Right now I can put a few fingers down the backside. Definitely snug in crotch, can't...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Night time diva change. Package with my Lee 101j got here late. New bravestar jeans too. Kind of comfortable tight out of the bag. Should I push it and go one more size down? I'll post in jeans section anyway.

    When and where do you wear your Irvin jacket?

    The same. I just bought another B3, although it's much slimmer and more B6 in cut and thickness, hoping I could get more fashion use out of it. But I wear my Aero B3 all the time. It's perfect in short bursts for walking the dogs at night, running the kids to school early morning. It's...

    Field Leathers

    Gorgeous. I'm taking notes. I got a solid 8 months to go, although Greg seems to be flying now. I'm honing in on Pony vs Aniline. Leaning more towards Aniline, but like I said, I'm watching closely. Great stuff.

    Do try this at home: leather jacket repair tips

    Just wanted to give another nod to the get wet and stuff method if you're looking to expand maybe a half size. I have tried now on 3 jackets and have had great results. Picking up usually about a half inch on ptp. Assuming a good quality jacket with solid stitching, etc., I seem to get a...

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

    Love it. I just got last week another B3. I couldn't justify yet another warmer lined jacket. but this Rider is every bit of cool.

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

    I went and did it again. I've got a couple of these coming now. Figure I'll keep the one that fits better, better overall condition, etc.

    Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto

    Cool cool. Thanks for the details as well. I think where I was at back then was get the 40 as the punk rock jacket. Keep the 118 as the more comfortable back up. But since then I've gotten a lewis leather lighting that fits snug and a Vicenza Ridley that is ultra slim. And I'm in line for a...
