    Is Denim the new Leather - Collectable jackets?

    Curious too. Although I'm feeding the beast within myself. Blinders on. Got enough jackets already, but still curious :):)

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Superb. Perfect "simple" black jacket.

    Vintage Cal - It's changing my outlook on things

    26 at the longest point with the curve, so really more like a 24.75-25ish for the most part. Compared to usual 24 probably and like 22.75ish-23 at the main body. The "regular" models usually hit me at the top of the belt line, but really showing the belt for the most part. The one L I have...

    Vintage Cal - It's changing my outlook on things

    The one in this post is long, almost too long. Must be custom. No size in the pocket. My others, 1 is 42L, my favorite, but damn it's tight. The others are 44 and they fit great, but short. I'm 6'0, so yeah, I'd agree and say 5'10 is max unless you get lucky like this last one. But I guess...

    Vintage Cal - It's changing my outlook on things

    thanks for the kind words and good posts. I agree on the fit. That's why I have 4 LOL. I think I have almost every scenario covered: 1) If I lose 10 lbs, but sleeves feel short 2) If I gain 10 lbs, but sleeves feel long 3) Just about perfect but a little short 4) Just about perfect but a...

    Vintage Cal - It's changing my outlook on things

    Many thanks and good advice. Yeah, I'm definitely not going to start fire selling stuff. But I do have a handful that just don't get touched or are a carbon copy of something else I like better. And it's a shame to leave them just sitting in the dark. Luckily I've got deep storage options...

    Vintage Cal - It's changing my outlook on things

    LOL. As an aficionado of Boars Head, I think I get the analogy :):) But I also don't want to make it sound like we need to be hunting for that perfect jacket. Actually the opposite. I think most of us already have that perfect jacket (if not more than one) already in our closet. We just...

    Aero Leather A2 Bronco - need advice on fit

    Perfect fit. A2 will never fit like a moto jacket or fashion style. You'll have to go custom if you want that taper or try G1 since you can size down with the action back.

    Vintage Cal - It's changing my outlook on things

    I definitely have jumped into this hobby head first. I won't deny it. Didn't even know what Aero, Himmel, Real McCoys, etc. were. Barely had heard about Schott. Didn't know the components on a jacket like a biswing back, cross zip, half belts, etc. Probably generally categorized them into...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Hey, since the Brooks racers seem to be pretty popular around here, doing a quick interest check. I have one of the mustard color ones with burgundy liner. I'll double check measurements, but I think a 42. It fits me well at 6'0 185 lbs. I'd say it's 90% clean. Some shredded liner on one of...

    FS: Vanson Enfield 40

    Bumping this up as the closet is now REALLY getting full LOL. I'll go $375 PPFF Conus shipping included if that makes a difference to anyone. But anything less, and I think I'll tuck it away in the garage for a later date.

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    The shearling popping through like it's mortar, come on, don't know whether to put here or "Genius" board.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Yep, exactly this. That's what her dad told me. Skidmore leather cream + black hefty bag + couple days in sun. He's been in upholstery biz for decades, does car seats, etc. So knows what he's talking about.

    Fit check on ridiculous Schott Perfecto

    that's a keeper. Great look. Even though I haven't been around too long, I went through the "perfect" fit phase. Gave up. A little crease, a little short, a little tight, a little long. Who cares. If you rocking the leather jacket like you should, no one will mess with you anyway because...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    1940-50s cross zip, black teacore, all Talon zips beautiful. Little bit longer than the usual ones which is just awesome for me. Needed some reinforcement/restitching in key areas. I guess with the old pure cotton thread, it was starting to pop here and there after all those years. There's a...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    missed a lot of the action today. I used to be really impatient with this kind of stuff, get frustrated, feed the fire, etc. etc. Then my younger son was born and ended up being on the autism spectrum. He's thankfully very high functioning but has his quirks. Made me realize there's just...

    Q&A with Jason Schott

    Own several Schotts. No issues with any of them except the weird sizing on some models. I'd take their usual zippers over anything I've ever handled. They sent me a replacement talon nos zipper on a jacket I bought used without asking any questions and also a bunch of various pulls, side, zips...

    FS: GAP Trucker Medium in Cognac color - crazy grain

    these things are gorgeous. I'm on the edge of whether a medium would fit me otherwise I'd hit buy.
