    FS: New Lost Worlds Custom Suburban with shearling body lining size 40

    I would have bought it already... The outer measurements are actually perfect for me, but i'm afraid that it will be too small with the thickness of the shearing.

    FS: W34~36 Langlitz dark brown cowhide motorcycle pants

    Could ou please add pcis with measuring tape? the 36" leg works for me, so does the waist, but all my jeans with 36" leg have around 44" full outer length. I don't understand how you only get 40" outer leg with a 36" inseam. Or is it not actually a 36" inseam? Thanks.

    Pin Holes in Leather

    That's a big deal IMO. I would start a dispute, send that jacket back and insist on not paying any shipping fees, ask for a full refund. If the jacket is not as described you are not responsible for any of it.

    Aero mouton care

    I have worn my Grizzly pretty solidly for two winters and have never done anything to "care for it", i just wear it. The furs show no signs of wear anywhere other than a very slight compression on the back of the neck. The only thing i would be careful is wearing backpacks or messenger bags on a...

    Corozo buttons are made from the tagua nut. They aren't hard to produce, you can buy them all over internet! I don't know, it's hard to say without seeing them for real, but they don't look like horn or tortoise to me, they have the exact same kind of lines that you see on Corozo, IMO these...

    Actually, the ones on the left are also Corozo, you can tell by the lines that look like level lines on a map.

    Here are Corozo Cats eyes buttons. Coroso is a natural material, and was pretty commonly used for buttons in the 20s, it went out of fashion when bakelite became cheaper and more common. https://bennosbuttons.com/cz-49-genuine-corozo-shirt-button.html I bought some Corozo buttons for a project...

    Weird Japanese jacket

    Dude, this is even weirder than i thought! The zipper is actually just there to show the fur backing... You can see that on the inside it has fur facing outwards towards the back: And you can see that when you open the rear zipper you just expose the fur: This is so weird, what sick mind...

    Weird Japanese jacket

    I think it's a summer jacket, if you get too warm you just open front and back, boom, max ventilation.

    FS: 50’S BUCO J82 size 40

    Your handwriting is such a classic comic book font! It's really weird to see jacket measurements written like that. GLWS

    Lost worlds cafe racer 44

    So i have been doing detective work, and this was indeed your jacket, it went from you to @Corky Corcovado, then moved on to @think_zot, then @RL204, and it is now on it's way to me... That a pretty good trip for a five year old jacket.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    It looks like it would work if you weren't wearing the thickest fisherman jumper ever knitted! How is it in a T shirt?

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    Seeing how large the pores are and how little grain variation it has makes me wonder if this hide was sanded down to look smoother? It reminds me of my CW Chopper, and i have always wondered if that jacket was made from printed hide:
