    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Technically this is the 5th jacket they have made for me, the other 10 LW jackets i have where all bought used.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Apparently they didn't have an in house pattern that was close enough to be modified into an Appalachian. Stu said they created this one from scratch. (Fausto the machinist is a trained pattern maker) All i asked was to use the J-23 42L as a base for sizing, everything else was left to Stuart...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    And here are a couple of my new Thedi bought from @Marc mndt last week. Some things i like, the leather is great, the pattern is very good, stitching is very neat. Some things i am not a fan of, the fact that the sleeves are single stitched to the armholes looks fragile and cheap to me. I also...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Just wanted to post an update of my new LW Appalachian, been wearing it for a week and am a big fan of it. The giant pocket is great, you can stick a sandwich in there, a rolled up map, it fits a bottle of wine no problem, it is possibly the most versatile pocket i have experienced on a jacket...

    Ebay sellers account update

    Even as a buyer i am starting to find eBay more risky... This year i have had two cases of jackets not as described being sent to me and both times eBay ended up taking the sellers side and both times i was saved by Paypal in the end. This was the most recent one, it was described as ""In very...

    One more, always one more...

    So does the rest of the world, he is always the one answering. I once called him on a saturday and had a four hour long conversation about leather jackets, if you think the average TFL user likes leather jackets you should talk to Stu, he REALLY likes leather jackets!

    Yep, 15kg is quite a bit, i can see how that would make a big difference. I would have never guessed you where 95kg!

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    How much are you losing for it to impact jacket size? I went from 84kg (185lb) when i started this hobby, down to 76kg (167lb) when i was at the peak of my BJJ competition period, back up to 82kg (180lb) for the moment and i never even noticed a difference in fit in anything i wore, jackets and...

    One more, always one more...

    I know from experience that Stuart hates FW and Aero, so mentionning them to him doesn't really score any points in your favour. After your exchange, he probably is convinced you are not going to like his jacket and decided he would rather not make the sale rather than having to deal with a...

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    A back D pocket! What is this madness! Not sure how i feell about a Momoa x HD jacket... It feels a bit like a cash grab. Surprised they got rid of the historical cycle king model to replace it by that.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I mostly wear the same ones, maybe 10 or so on a regular basis. I would say 80% of the time when i leave the house i am wearing a LW, a Vanson or my FW LaBrea. ( I have 15 LW, 13 Vansons, 2 LaBreas, so that alone is quite a rotation even though some rarely get worn like the LW B-2 or the Vanson...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Storage becomes the main problem quite fast... I finally did an Excel sheet with all my jackets and i am at 56, with at least 5 planned but still not received and two currently in the mail. I am honestly not sure where to put these, as there are only so many clothes rails you can have in a...

    Bad idea?

    Best idea yet, reline this one and keep it as it is, and have Shawn make you a tweaked one, see which one you end up prefering.

    Bad idea?

    Personally i would not change a thing. I don't have a problem with zipper length, and i think the length looks good as is. I would just reline it and wear it.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I have these same plastic zippers on both my Vanson Swedish riders and honestly they do the job. One of the two jackets was worn a lot by the previous owner and is pretty beat up, but all zippers are still 100% ok and still have all their teeth. In use i am never more worried about them than i...

    Field Leathers

    Anyone knows what Greg is up to? I was told on May 25th that my mockup should be done soon and complete silence since then... Considering i was originally promised a mockup in February and a jacket in March, i am wondering if other people are experiencing this kind of delays?

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

    I just hit BIN on this weird Vanson, it was on Buyee, described as a Chopper/CHP mix from the 80s/90s. I have never seen one like that before, i find it pretty weird and confusing... It's a cross zip, but with barely any lapel overlap, almost like the Schott Cafecto, but with even shorter...
