    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    lol, thanks. Nine high-stress months of working 70hr weeks will do that to ya. Or maybe I always looked this way? I can’t remember.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Really, I just pulled this out to get some measurements and photos to help me size my next jacket. Decided to share it here, anyway. CXL8 Gustin L1:

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

    I just placed my order with Greg Field. Production should start in mid-January, so it will arrive right around my fiftieth birthday. I have dubbed it the MLC-MC Jacket: mid life crisis motorcycle jacket. Brown Shinki and brass stripped-down J24 without the D pocket, belt or epaulettes. Two side...

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

    Thanks. Right now, I'm thinking about commissioning Greg Field to make something fairly similar for me, but in brown pigment Shinki.

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

    That looks stunning. Is there any way you could mask or cover the patch without removing it, I wonder? Even taking a blue sharpie to the lettering and symbol might work.

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

    I’m shipping it back today for a refund. It’s a beautiful jacket and the price was good, just a pity it didn’t work out for me.

    Wesco Mr. Lou Black Size 11D Engineer boots

    Absolutely beautiful boots and a killer price! The MP last is supposed to run a little narrow, so these will fit like a D, but I think the length is the same as the Boss last. If that's the case, they should fit like an 11D on the Brannock. The leather footbed liner is easy to slip out and...

    An Interview with Field Leathers

    In the US, the Ridley is $1200 base, plus extra for better leather and design changes (another $150 to $300). What impressed me about FL is that Shinki is included in the base price and I could make any design changes I could dream up without any additional cost.

    An Interview with Field Leathers

    I exchanged a few emails with Greg today. What a nice bloke! The price would come in the same as a custom Ridley with everything I want, but with some beautiful pigment dyed brown Shinki. Thurston are great and I know the Aero would turn out really well, but I’m leaning heavily towards...

    An Interview with Field Leathers

    I know a few people raise eyebrows at Greg’s prices, but if that is kind of a flat fee that doesn’t get hit with a whole bunch of extras for style and fit adjustments it really is very good considering the premium materials he works with. I just sent him an email to see what he has in brown to...

    Source Of High Quality Corduroy Blazer

    I have an olive jacket using Brisbane Moss corduroy from Spier and Mackay a few seasons ago that I think is just perfect. They have some more lined-up for release this winter (check their IG for teaser pics). I’m tempted to get a needle cord brown for that who The Graduate vibe...

    The ultimative Denim Trouser Thread?

    I ordered a pair of black 21oz Gustin straight leg jeans last week. The straight leg is still very slim in my opinion, but can cover most engineer boots. It’s hard to find jeans that are slim up top (not skinny) but will still over a boot. The waist is too low, but I rarely tuck a shirt into...

    Aero Ridley / J106 Repository Thread

    I hope I’m wrong on this, but I don’t think Greg is stocking any brown Shinki at this time.

    Aero Ridley / J106 Repository Thread

    ^ Thanks. There go my plans for today, hahah! I did send Greg a message. The brown shinki on his Instagram is out of this world. The Vanson Daredevil also checks a lot of my boxes. I started this journey in March, debating whether to buy a Schott during their big sale and thinking that was...

    Aero Ridley / J106 Repository Thread

    Thanks @Carlos840 you always bring great insight to any of my fumbling questions. I’m not really looking for authenticity with this one. Just a slim fitting basic cross-zip in a nice mid-weight brown, much like the one I’m about to return. Next question: some cross-zips cut away far more than...
