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

    Wait until it gets some proper sun exposure, it will become love :D

    Field Leathers

    Most people have different measurements, and in case you want something nobody has... just go for a unique colour or hide :)

    True, we can only speculate about this.

    Ever think some jackets are overhyped

    That is one thing I wanted to mention but didn't get around, quoted for truth.

    Ever think some jackets are overhyped

    Exactly we all have our views, I do not think he has enjoyed for this couple of years as you state and he probably prefers to spend the $1000 on something else. It does not even have to be jacket related. Is there anything wrong with this?

    I kind of lost the flow here, what is your point exactly?

    Ever think some jackets are overhyped

    Just to be clear I said construction is not their strong point, never said they are poorly constructed. This is not my opinion - I am keeping this out of this here - Himel himself says he can not match the Japanese "perfection"... read this passage. Me too, I am happy with this "risk" If...

    Ever think some jackets are overhyped

    They focus on the leather jackets and don't make any wild claims :)

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

    You already have the answer, I knew you would! :D I guess you already planned this crucial move to your jacket expansion :p

    How could I have missed Greg?! :oops:

    That is my understanding as well, although, many more makers are in the hybrid section, as I believe they need both revenue streams to survive, I can easily name some in alphabetical order: - Aero - Electrical Leather Studio - Four Speed Leathers - Johnson Leathers - Langlitz - Vanson For all...

    Ever think some jackets are overhyped

    We also have Johnson Leathers, but they never had any issue. And same for Dave Sheeley. I am missing some others I think.

    Ever think some jackets are overhyped

    So you are claiming that Japanese jackets will very likely tear and not be repairable, making them a complete waste of money?

    Ever think some jackets are overhyped

    Very good point, Carlos was not complaining about his jacket, just showing things as they are. If amateurs like us can see the flaws in his jacket after careful examination, professionals with years of experience and the trained eyes that come with it should notice at first glance. When I first...

    Fit pics of my Thedi MTG-162707

    With the collar for me, it is already great without, but with it... :D

    Lost worlds Horsehide trench coat

    All I can say is that I arlready have the Thedi coat on order, standard length and I am seriously looking at the LW version, just thinking which leather. I may be biased - you will notice that I have quite a few jackets from both of these makers - but I would say whichever you go with you will...

    The fashion industry is a completely different sector from the hobbyist sector we are in though... All of the jacket makers we are discussing here are by deafault better deals here. You can see how the prices jump when there are collaborations for example. Also keep in ming that fashion brands...

    “An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it.” ~ John F. Kennedy

    I suspect if I was living back then, a military jacket would have been standard issue, otherwise I would never sport one - and truth be told I don't think I would have been in this sector. So most likely, I would have been hunting for the best motorcycle jacket maker, as I would very likely have...

    “An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it.” ~ John F. Kennedy

    I guess it depends on our preferences, I have been pointing out how great these detailed conversations are recently, they made me much more aware of what I want and what constitutes quality. Thanks to this we are much less at the mercy of hype and marketing. It is true that too much science can...
