It has also been a "trial and error" learning curve for me as well. Sometimes even a very well fitting jacket just does not work out to my preferance. I had owned at least 30 leather jackets prior to finding the Fedora Lounge, and have likely owned at least 20 more since being on here of many...
Regarding responses. Bear in mind with the majority of jackets (leathers) discussed here that:
Makers are loaceted all over the globe
Most of these are specialty shops
Most have very full order boards & work delays with lockdowns
Most are just not in a big hurry / have limited staff / priority...
^^ Agreed. a little more trim fit than the Indian Ranger pattern. I liked the fit of this one on me when I had it, just was more of a fan of the CXL leather.
My apologies. Your original post indicated nothing about leather for the jacket.
None of my leather jackets venture out below -10C. All are rather stiff and get much stiffer in the cold, they can work under a Parka or wool jacket for heat retention/wind resistance, but no leather jacket of...
For this set of requirements, I would skip leather as a jacket type altogether.
Instead I would have you consider the offerings of Carhartt, good, long lasting, abrasion resistant, not overally heavy, can still look "decent" depending upon style, many different offerings, and avaliable as a...
Putting this sale on hold. Been wearing these off and off today, an the CXL is softening up nicely and beginning to shape. So I'll keep going with the break in. They may well turn out to be a favorite pair of boots after all.
^^ Hum, that's a good question there. Welcome (officially) to Fedora Lounge!!
I would have likely expected the "opposite" from something being exposed to years of light, such as if the jacket was sitting in a store window with direct sun much of eveyday. This would logically lead to the black...
Up for sale is a recently received pair of Nick's that are just a little wide for me in the front of the foot area. These are "August 2021" Produced Nicks "Americana" boots with the Moderate arch support in black Horween CXL Steerhide. They have Toe caps, brass hooks & eyes, un-lined 6-7 Oz...
I know we're not big on sweatshirts under jackets around here, but this at least attempts to get the Indian Ranger into a better place fit-wise. Still not sold on it and still up for sale overall...
Not too bad from the front (beside a little short):
But really a mess in the back:
So I have bought & sold many items on ebay, books, boots, jackets, even a camera or two. Some things can be a real deal on there and are worth the (sometimes) hassle. Other items are just not.
I agree with the setiments about "reserve" pricing. I have never put a reserve on any item, and I...
