    Please help me identify this vintage leather jacket

    Hi, I recently purchased this beautiful leather jacket from a thrift store and couldn't find any info about the brand. I was wondering if anyone on this forum knew of this brand, and could tell me something about this leather jacket. I think it is horsehide. The leather is heavy and has a...

    Role Club Boots (Questions for the experienced)

    Hi Kirk, Thanks so much for answering my questions. Your boots look amazing! I contacted Brian, and unfortunately the boots will not be delivered until August 2022! That's how big the waiting list is right now. That's a two year wait. I still will probably order them, and then have...

    Hey Fanch, I eliminate the inner kidney panel, but kept the outer one. Do you think that will change the fit of the jacket? And I know you own a beautiful Sheene sans kidney panel. Has it been an issue with your jacket?

    I lost a lost of sleep trying to decide between the Board Racer and Ridley. When I decided on one, I felt grief about not having the other. But I think I was driving Carrie crazy with indecision, and so I finally decided on the Ridley. Now I'm planning my next jacket. I've gotten the bug. I...

    Hey Fanch, From what Carrie at Thurston Bros told me, it looks like the Ridley will be almost exactly the same fit as the BR. So those measurements should work out well. The jacket is mainly for daily wear, not riding, but I will ride once in a while. So I wanted the sleeves to serve both...
