    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I think the deal with FB sales is you have to pick up locally. It's about a 1.5 hour drive for me, otherwise out of curiosity I would have gone and checked it out. Only the one photo, no measurements, etc. etc. who knows what you're going to get. But yeah, if I was within half hour, I would...

    Field Leathers

    I put one in yesterday, #1560. Not in a rush as I got plenty of stuff to wear and besides, the extra time will let me really hone in on what I want, although I think I have a pretty good plan. We'll see. I think with this one though and the LL Lightning that should be coming next couple...

    Fit Pic/Opinion on new jacket (Local Jacket Maker)

    Fantastic. A little long, but nothing to worry about. Well within suitable range. What kind of leather? Assuming it will get soft with breaking in, some of that back poofiness will go down.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    this is tempting but I think it's a size too small for me and I've got my black racer already. Great price. The Real McCoy's Buco J-100 Single Riders Jacket 40 Horse Leather | eBay

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    The ones that close upwards are better if they open up slightly since the gap will be open at the top, therefore nothing small will fall out the bottom (i.e. if it were vice versa)

    Vanson/LeftField Commando Gold edition CXL teacore - medium

    This one sold quickly. Amazing jacket. If you ever see one, grab it. I know Vanson is more synonymous with being more of an utilitarian type jacket, but this one is really fashion forward. The leather is amazing and I wish all CXL was like this as it's not stiff at all but still has all the...

    Vanson/LeftField Commando Gold edition CXL teacore - medium

    SOLD This jacket is so damn nice, I bought it twice. Weird chain of events happened where two fell in my lap at about the same time and as I was searching for a simplified, teacore D pocket and getting really frustrated, I guess I wanted to corner the market LOL. Very simple design. No belt...

    Vintage Vanson C2 - size 40-42ish

    Best I can tell this is an early 1980s C2. It was after they switched from the original white label, but before they started adding ID numbers. Previous owner removed epaulettes. I thought about sending to Dena to have her put some back in, but I kind of liked the look without since I also...

    The Real McCoy’s / Joe McCoy Nelson 30’s Sport Jacket

    I'm getting into the danger zone and have been looking at a lot of RMC stuff lately. From what I can tell, it seems like most of their jackets now are more TTS but maybe the cross zips (J24, J24L, etc.) seem to be more slim cut. It's interesting because those models also have full action back...

    Do try this at home: leather jacket repair tips

    This stretching stuff is genius if not the basic principle of the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, so to speak. Would love to try on my one Cal that I love to death but is just a half size too small for me. I think the problem with the CHP style is the panels by the...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Los Angeles with crazy fall weather. Usually Aug/Sept are the hottest, but we've had a handful of upper 70ish days. This beauty is getting some wears while I can. Last October saw 28 days over 100, so who knows. The skidmore/pecard treatment really softened it up and sunbathing in the sun...

    Do try this at home: leather jacket repair tips

    that looks great. No complaints from me LOL. I did something similar to the wet sleeve technique but to the gut area. Got the jacket wet. While wearing I wrapped a big sweatshirt around my lower waist to create more bulk. Worked great until I got greedy and moved the line up further to get...

    Real McCoys Buco J-100 (size 44)

    another one I need to go take a cold shower on. The perfect racer. But I've got too many black racers. 6 months ago, I would have pulled the trigger for sure. GLWS.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    yes, super thick., really nice though, very pliable etc. Not a lot of grain, character, etc. although I've seen some that were pretty good. The ones from the 80s have talon zips and are built like bullet proof vest. Usual CHP style and/or Perfecto. Seen even a cafe racer. Very comfortable...

    Cal, Al or other…. Help please!

    Is there mutton in the wrist cuff? I don't recall seeing a Cal with maroon lining in the sleeves. All the ones I've seen are black through out. But it could be a custom job or maybe a newer model. It definitely has a lot of similarities. Pattern wise with the gussets, it looks like my...

    Explaining the Aero Fit.

    LOL. These kids got it good today. I used to get an old pair of already worn out shoes as hand me downs LOL. Yeah, I think maybe the thought process side tracked. I don't think it was meant to say all jackets should have shoulder seams sewn a certain way as a magic bullet cure all. It seems...

    Explaining the Aero Fit.

    Nice jacket! Yeah nothing is as easy as it seems lol. Mentally I've gotten over the extra creases. I don't see it as a "formal" jacket anyway that needs to lay perfect. It has more of that crumpled,, vintage,, grab and go look.. And comfort wise it's ok and getting better as it continues...

    Explaining the Aero Fit.

    Been wearing my Sheene past couple days as I debate whether I really want to sell it or not. It really is a nice jacket and every time I put it on, I do feel it softening up and forming a bit more. This morning I put on my blue cafe racer which has almost identical measurement specs. It's...

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

    was going to say, how do you still have power? Stay safe out there!
