Open Your Own Leather Jacket Company
It's a great question. A simple answer... If I was starting something today, I'd probably do a Vanson level except I would upgrade the designs (slimmer, more classic copycats with some "new" twists, etc.) and offer a few more leather options. Try and stay in the $650-950 range. As has been...- TooManyHatsOnlyOneHead

Five Star Leather Jackets
you're comparing the fit of nylon with leather? I think that's problem number 1. problem number 2 which has been hit on here more recently, but there's been rumblings in previous posts, is just because you give them a bunch of measurements, doesn't mean the jacket is going to be...- TooManyHatsOnlyOneHead

Schott PER70 Perfecto Review
to add to this and I may have something wrong, so feel free to chime in, but based on my browsing. 100 series jackets are the naked or aniline cow leather. As Monitor mentions, the best hides and hence why a 118 costs more than a 618. Most of the time black, but occasionally you'll see a blue...- TooManyHatsOnlyOneHead

What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?
I've totally abused it and it's as strong as ever. I'd be careful on some kind of machines like the ones with the middle agitator because things get tangled in those. And you just need to check it in the dryer every 10 mins or so. But these jackets are built stronger than we think they are...- TooManyHatsOnlyOneHead

Aero Sheene fan thread!
no wind flap, and get zips on the handwarmer. The latter is the one thing I don't like on mine (no zips) as I got a tight fit but the handwarmer pockets flare out without anything to hold them down. Doesn't give for a total sleek look if you're going tighter, but you can maybe get away with it...- TooManyHatsOnlyOneHead

What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?
Levis Buffalo Trucker. I took some sand paper to some of the edges to help speed along the break in. Glad I did because it gave me hope the leather will evolve. I was worried it was a little too much glossy top coat that was going to be dyed through, but underneath it's this subdued...- TooManyHatsOnlyOneHead

Schott PER70 Perfecto Review
Schott fan boy here, not going to lie. I like this model, always have, but never went the extra mile to understand how it was different. Thanks for the highlights. I have the 519 which I think has some of the points you mention--slightly different more trim cut, etc. but more of midweight...- TooManyHatsOnlyOneHead

What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?
that's awesome. well done. Maybe it's just me, but the dangle stuff from the chest pocket kind of "unbalances" everything. Eyes go right to it. Being super nit picky here I know. Easily fixable I guess by tucking it in. Or not. It's your jacket LOL, wear it how you want.- TooManyHatsOnlyOneHead

Field Leathers
Been wearing every day at least 1 or 2 hours. Think it will be at least another hundred hours of wear to get some showing. But other than that, the grain is popping all over. Great sleeve creases, overall "loosening up" around the neck and shoulders. Feeling really good about it. Trying to...- TooManyHatsOnlyOneHead

Field Leathers
simple law of supply and demand. You raise the price to meet the demand if you don't have the supply to maximize your profit. TBH, I'm surprised he didn't raise prices more and keep the wait time more "reasonable". While some of us don't care about 6 months, the typical customer will. And...- TooManyHatsOnlyOneHead

How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?
stay away from buyee.jp. I see Es all the time. Most of these 80/90s Vansons (C2, Enfield, E, Chopper, B) go for about $325-400 plus figure another $75 in shipping (you have to pay shipping twice- 1 in japan and then to final destination). I got this one for $220. So should come out to...- TooManyHatsOnlyOneHead

Ever think some jackets are overhyped
After having visited the Cal Leathers shop a couple times, my opinion on a lot of things has changed. One of the many things Gwen told me is she comes across people all the time that think she must be absolutely killing it because she's making fine leather jackets. She just started chuckling...- TooManyHatsOnlyOneHead

How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?
yeah, hopefully they did a good job at least. The snaps kind of sticking out with no purpose might be a little frankenstein too LOL. I can't imagine it would be that hard to add them back. A seamstress just needs to open up the seam and add the flap of leather. Once I get it, depending on...- TooManyHatsOnlyOneHead

How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?
Well I was officially closed for business but this one really doesn't count because I put in a really low bid and for some reason no one else bid so I got it LOL. So, seems like destiny to me. I did add a reinforcement bar in the closet, so probably got room for this and maybe 1 more (if I can...- TooManyHatsOnlyOneHead
