    Advice request; First Thurston Bros custom Aero

    Why not just get a Lewis Leather's jacket directly? They make great products, you can customize them, and thier prices are not that bad overall.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Heavy Vanson Highwayman with fur collar - looks like an early production one by the tag. More of a find than a deal at $510 or best offer. Size 42 and had quite a bit of usage so far. https://www.ebay.com/itm/403571623309?hash=item5df6be458d:g:vxMAAOSwF4RiSfNd

    Advice request; First Thurston Bros custom Aero

    So I'm late to this party. However the conversation on leathers is ongoing and becomes sort of like the "Ford Mustang Verses Chevy Camaro" comparison. (using a USA example here) It is a very personal thing that simply comes down to your preferances. I personally like a jacket to be a bit of...

    What jeans are you wearing today ?

    +1 on congratulaitons to Edward for his weight loss! Amazing work there and so totally worth it. :) For perspective, I take a set of 50-lb dumbells every two weeks or so and carry them the full peremiter of my fitness gym. Why do I do this seeming useless lift after a normal workout? It's...

    Cal Leather in size 44 Long

    For those looking for this style of jacket - Kater Karlo is the real deal - a great seller and honest here. I bought a jacket from him a few years back and it was nearly better than new condition as a used jacket.

    Claybertrand - sharp jacket & nice catch there. This description slighlty perplexes me: “Fabric has Discoloration/Marks/Fading from Authentic Use. Distress Along Seam/Fabric Edges. Size is an Estimate. Please See Photos for Details and Measurements Before Purchasing, Thank You.” I would be...

    Uneven grain/crease on a Horsehide?

    Just to clarify, I think it looks great! I agree that's a lot of "D'oh" to spend on any jacket, and boots these days are not far behind that number. But to get something that you were not expecteing, well, that isn't always fun is it? Not to mention that the seller does not offer returns...

    Uneven grain/crease on a Horsehide?

    I think it looks fine, but then I do not buy $2k jackets. Some variation is to be expected, and some folks will pay extra for it.

    Heavy CXL question

    CXL FQHH is a tough nut to crack. I've owned several and my only one currenlty (the Indian Ranger) is showing tons of teacore all over now - microcracks in the top coat). It's interesting but it's not smooth and supple like, say, Vanson Competetion Weight Steerhide (from pre 2000's at least)...

    Fit check on my first leather jacket

    Well, for a first leather jacket you did a great job nailing the fit on both a difficult pattern to fit and a brand that isn't always easy to get the fit correct with, since most of thier offerings are off the rack. My first several jackets were nowhere close to this level of fit. Agree there...
