    Best leather for a lifelong jacket?

    Definitely not boxy or uncomfortable! These are adjectives i would use to describe my Aeros... And the LW horse hide is probable the only leather in my collection i would give a lifetime warranty!

    ELMC Windward Alternatives

    Hi, Welcome. Thedi has similar looking jackets, he does the undercover cross zip pretty well. I would recommend looking for a used ELMC though, it s a really nice jacket, great wool liner. Be aware it's not a versatile jacket because of that, it is very warm and only wearable during the colder...

    Conditioning Leather

    Thanks for the tips. I haven't done anything yet to try to remove the goo, i was just going to wear it and see if it got better with time. If not i'll definitely try your method. I have no idea what the top coat is made from other than it is a resin, i got that straight from Stuart. I'll ask...

    Conditioning Leather

    I think you can't compare boots and leather jackets. I experimented on a pair of Frye engineer, tried the "never treat them with anything" approach from new, and after two or three years they cracked everywhere and died. Since then i condition my boots two or three times a year (twice during...

    Conditioning Leather

    Speaking of over conditionning, i have just received this jacket: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/blowdryer-conditioner-on-lost-worlds-leather-before-during-after.101774/ And let me tell you it is the greasiest, waxiest jacket i have ever handled, it is IMO a mess. Considering the...

    Trying to decided between a G1 jacket and a 33 halfbelt

    Definitely not "vintage correct" in that size... It's almost twice as large as what a vintage one would be: IMO it looks a bit weird when worn, out of proportion.

    Trying to decided between a G1 jacket and a 33 halfbelt

    I don't think you can dress up a G1, to me it's top gun and that's it... The half belt on the other hand is really nice. I have the blue wool version of that jacket and it is really well cut, it feels great worn. Construction is nice, but i found the leather accents on mine to be pretty average...

    The Real McCoy or Flat Head

    I'd go RMC, they are well made and the RMC Shinki is nice. On the other hand i have never seen a FH that i liked or found impressive.

    Why a Leather Jacket?

    But a leather jacket will protect your back if you pull guard! Without a leather jacket you are going to stab your back full of needles, glass shards and legos!

    Conditioning Leather

    Pecards won't help leather that is cracked like that. IMO this is beyond what a conditionner can help with. I think at that point this jackct will keep on cracking whatever you do.

    What do you think of this New Flat Head Leather Jacket

    I've never "attacked" Eastman, and i dont "basically attacks Himel, Bill Kelso, Eastman at every opportunity,". I'd appreciate it if you stopped misrepresenting my words.

    What do you think of this New Flat Head Leather Jacket

    I'd be interrested to know what that person said about Eastman?

    What do you think of this New Flat Head Leather Jacket

    On top of that @red devil visited the factory last week when he was in the US, he just told me the guy who showed him around the show room had no idea what any models where, what different leathers where, apparently he was absolutely useless. (Was it Nick? We don't know). RD had to insist on...

    What do you think of this New Flat Head Leather Jacket

    I don't know how you came to the conclusion that they seem to be doing well... I placed an order for riding pants the 8th of September 2021, nick got in touch and told me it would take 16 weeks, i said go ahead. 6th of December i sent an email asking if they could make me a real fur collar for...

    What do you think of this New Flat Head Leather Jacket

    Vanson is dead... My last 4 emails where un answered, i called asking for a refund and even that took 4 weeks and two emails to Kim before they refunded me. I don't know what is happening to them but the customer service has gone to crap. As a Vanson fan i am done ordering new from them...

    Fox Creek -A Versatile Riding Jacket

    I have a couple modern riding jackets with vent and they are super helpful. The only thing is you really need vents in the back too, to prevent balooning, but front + back vents are great when the weather is warm. They are more versatile than perforated jackets as you can open/close vents as...
