    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Ah you did mention them... that is disappointing, sorry not you... But I thought they had learnt about their mistake. If hte original jacket has curved seams and you are using it as a model, they should emulate these seams. It should be like a copy-paste lol

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    It is good to see that they now make the back seams curved without you having to say anything. On my jacket they made them straight. They are definitely improving.

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

    It certainly a crime against... the leather jacket world for you not to have a cross-zip. You need to atone for your sins :p

    Ever think some jackets are overhyped

    No worries about long posts, it certainly is interesting to read about everyone's experiences, that's the whole point of this forum :) In the interest of full disclosure, I do not own any Himel but have an order with Greg. I remember a few years ago when Himel was lavishly praised for...

    Lost Worlds DeBow

    Some more knowledgeable members might chime in, but J.A. Dubow Mfg. Co. used to be a manufacturer making flight jackets for the military. The current J.A. Dubow Mfg. Co. has nothing to do with the original, just someone bought the name to sell flight jackets repro. So in this case, the B3 is...

    My Thedi Jacket - MTG-162707 has arrived

    The leather is chosen by Theo who has been in this industry for maybe 40 years now? Considering how passionate he is about it, you can see how his selection of leather is impressive. When I order a jacket, I ask him to choose the leather for me now :)

    Applying Obenauf's Boot Preservative to a leather jacket

    If I am not mistaken, the Bekesha coats are still in production? I just want an all weather coat ideally. I have wool and quilted lined jackets, with quilted jacket edging the wool ones in terms of warmth. But it is doesn't get that cold here, so I might stick with a lining after all. I am...
