    Fringe jackets

    You should have showered whilst wearing the jacket with the fringes and then without the fringes and compared drying time... I thought you where a scientist Mike, you let us all down!

    Fringe jackets

    I'm having a hard time believing this statement: "I recently learned that the fringe actually serves a functional purpose, allowing the jacket to shed rain while drying faster when wet because the fringe acts as a series of wicks to disperse the water. That sounds like a very practical and...

    Can someone please help me find this type of leather jacket?

    The zig zag is a standard feature of the Lee Storm Rider. The "decorative cuff" is a take on a traditional cuff, i have seen it described as "an American cuff", Aero uses it a lot, their 50s Half belt for example.

    Pecard query

    Care to describe why it was junk? The smell scared me as it is very agressive, but it gave good results.

    Pecard query

    Obenaufs is even stickier and thicker than Pecard's, i use it on boots but i wouldn't use it on a jacket. I was discussing conditionners with Stuart from Lost Worlds last week and he recommended Connolly's hide food, it was apparently used by Rolls Royce for their leather interiors. It has a...

    I'm pretty sure the nickel ones are brass that is nickel plated, i have never heard of a solid nickel belt buckle... I have also never worn through the nickel plating of a nickel plated belt, if it is a quality buckle it shouldn't happen.

    Pecard query

    Well Pecard's themself say all the products are the same, they just package them differently to make online searching easier. The question is more do your jackets actually need it? If they are new they most likely don't need anything yet.

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

    The leather aging is really subtle and nicely done, i also like the way the small brass dots on the top of the ticket pocket are slightly overlapping it reminds me of sleeve buttons on suits and is really quite elegant on that jacket, nice idea, did you ask for that or is that Theo's idea?

    Not so happy experience with Vanson repair

    That Nick guy is useless... He spent some time trying to tell me that my CXL Vansons couldn't actually be made by Vanson as the underside of the leather was brown and Vanson only used leather that was black all the way through... I told him i thought he was confused, explained the situation...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I was just on the phone with stuart, double checked my information. He does get the hides delivered in sides, without the legs, but with the butt, shells included. He didn't seem to think using the shells in jackets was that big a deal, he just said "it's a very tought piece, but it doesn't have...
