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

    you can probably make a profit on the zipper alone.

    HOW TO TREAT A NUBUCK/SUEDE JACKET?

    No, don't use Pecards on suede or nubuck unless you want to darken it a few shades and give it a waxy texture. Angelus is a good suggestion. Generally speaking though, you can go a little harder than what most people say. I thoroughly washed a suede jacket in the bathtub with shampoo. I'm...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    without a doubt, after reading much feedback and my own personal experience, if I had to order another jacket, it would be black premium goat. Although the sheepskin that is used for the vest looks rather nice as well. Waiting on more data on the CXL stuff. Way too thick for my needs, but I...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Tried one on in the LA store a couple weeks back. Good thing I purposefully left my wallet at home otherwise I would have left the store with like 4 or 5 jackets. Per70 top notch. Per28 AMAZING. If I see either in my size on Ebay or here used, I will grab without any doubt. Also the 520 is...

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

    ooh nice one. What kind of zipper is it and do the pocket zips have any pulls? Usually that's the best way to date (i.e. diamond style most likely 50's, tear drop most likely 60s/70s, etc.). I'm also seeing some teacore there which usually I only see on the older jackets. My straight zip has...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    that's a good looking shot there. Really like the glow. Wondering once the wax diminishes, then what? Is it like their regular steerhide?

    1950 Taubers Horsehide Police jacket-Detachable Collar-40/42

    if it was 25 inch back, you'd have my money and this would probably be my "long hiatus" (not quite end game) jacket. Been searching for a Cal like this long time with this color collar. But I need a little longer. I already have too many that are short. Someone going to get a dream jacket.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I wonder if this is a byproduct of all of us asking him to "send me your thickest cut" LOL. I remember when I got my FQHH CXL Sheene, I was like OMG, this thing will never stop standing up by itself. It eventually wore down with a lot of effort. But then I was sort of tainted as to what a...

    FS Vanson Enfield (2000 model) sz 40

    More of a placeholder for future reference. Every once in a while someone pings me about it and rather than rehash all the details, photos and all that. Not eager to sell, but it hardly gets worn and has been relegated for future kid use for one of my sons. But that list is growing too. So...

    Aero Long Hercules fit question

    I don't have this jacket, but generally speaking about 2 inches on chest (total measurement, not ptp) gives you a pretty snug fit, like tshirt only kind of thing. 3 inches is a little relaxed. 4 inches is good for layering. This would be 6 inches plus (25.25 x 2 and you are 44 chest). So it...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    sure, if I can get some guarantee from manufacturer, always nice. But that would only be on their mistakes. What I'm talking about is laypeople who aren't trained on clothing design and tailoring making honest mistakes BTW, my thoughts that I mentioned weren't to say that 5 Star should...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Looking good. Real good actually. Maybe get it wet??? Don't know, but yeah, that's going to take a team to break down that jacket. Maybe put each sleeve in opposing paint shakers and set on high. Chest pocket placement is a little high, which I think you noted before. They don't seem to...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    but it's rare :cool: There's a Cafecto on Ebay right now that's priced helluva right. Black though, but pretty much same cut as this. Size medium, should fit you. Maybe a tad big.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I'm pretty sure this is a Per 22. The newer models are buffalo, even though the tag may say "steerhide". Basically the typical perfecto style but with brass hardware. If it stays anywhere near this price, amazing deal. If it were a Medium, I'd be bidding...

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    saw this in person at the Los Angeles Schott store last week. It's unreal. I've always been pro Schott but after visiting their store again, I'm VERY pro Schott now. There's at least 5 or 6 jackets I've added to my wish list. I wanted to check out the Per 70 Monitor always speaks highly...
