So I have another thought...
I'll open this up to the broader community here. I have the budget this fall to add one more - up to ~ $1500 for a new one (or two pre-owned for up to $750 a piece). I really do not want to go beyond this, as they simply do not see enough use if I do. If I buy a...
You won't regret it one bit.
There are some deals to be had on these, although the name "Just Leather" makes it tricky to search for them. That may be a benefit to you, price-wise.
Well I sure recall the jacket Robert Cumming's wore. The vast majority of jackets I grew up wearing, through the 70's and 80's were bomber styles.
Now I prefer other styles personally. As to the fit, Rawky that orignial A2 your presented photos of looks good - perhaps a little large in the...
Thank you HH - yes that's just ~ 2 years of normal wear & usage. The horizontal creases are pretty common with the Horween FQHH; if you sit in a car, these do develop. I have worn it a lot, through several rains, and even around the house during the summer inside. But nothing else, no aging...
My collection is small these days. These four are it. Possible one more to be added sometime this fall, not sure what or when. Just focused upon enjoying these, 3 of which are cross zips, and the odd Vanson Mark II Sportrider, which is more about the Competition weight leather pre 2000...
For those who make things -- or do repairs, @iknowleather and others - how about some extra Lost Worlds Horsehide leather - from them directly: https://www.ebay.com/itm/393989700447?
^^It is a balancing act, that's for sure. I have between a "moderate" to "medium" arch as per the White's and Nicks brands, if I go full High arch (and resulting higher heel as well) it's a no-go. I am a more narrow foot as well. Nice thing with some of these ($$$) expensive brands is they will...
I ordered my IR through Carrie, at Thurston Brothers. She fit me into it correct, but it took some adjustment to do it. I will get the dimensions again here for it, the traditional IR is not a slim-fit, but has a rather sharp taper in the body. Without her input, this model would not have fit...
Seller confirmed to me via email -- 22.5" is the base of the collar to the hem of the back of the jacket - it's a "high waisted" jacket. So period-correct. Leaves me completely out on this one. If anyone here can wear it - it's a fantastic jacket. Personally would be a great jacket to see a...
^^ Thanks for the reminder, I have not sent the jacket to Dena yet to install it. Hope to get this done this fall. For now still the (very small) #5 in there.
Then a California made "All Weather Garment" that is simply an end-game, stunning piece of work. I wish it were a little larger, it would come close to fitting. Sorry if it's been posted before, but it's worth posting it again...
Size ~ 42 and $800 or offer...
Windward smaller size HH Bomber jacket for $89 starting bid, or outright offer option. In Illinois. Double "D-pocket" bomber perhaps? Some dryness in some of the leather, but check out the back panel leather! Measurements are a bit odd, I would ask for clarification if thinking of buying...
