    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    Not longer as a standard offering (I believe their horsehide supplier was the same tannery that burned down) but special collaborations have featured it. For instance, Butterscotch in LA did a 2mm Horween horsehide jacket with them.

    Project: 5-Star Buco J-82

    It genuinely looks better than the $1100 Buco repro that post-Schott Legendary put out.

    STRUM LEATHER ?

    Honestly the heroin-chic Hedi leather jacket look is really passé at this point. People here will often say things like "unlike you TFLers I'm fashionable and wear SKINNY JEANS" or some other thing that's been out of fashion for a good five years or "unlike you TFLers I'm not obsessed with...

    STRUM LEATHER ?

    What do you mean by purists? The stuff there just looks bad and I'm not sure what about it registers as dressy to you. If anything it looks even more casual than a motorcycle jacket with the bag shape. For the price of one of those hideous jackets, you could a number of great things. Forget...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Not actually the wrong side of the forum because I’m wearing an RRL chambray shirt. (Also the lounge suit itself was originally workwear!)

    Project: 5-Star Buco J-82

    Sounds like cost-cutting to me.

    Project: 5-Star Buco J-82

    Technically isn't it a multi-piece back given the side panels? ;)

    Where YOU can buy heavy overcoats today (28oz-32oz)

    It depends. It's easy to find pea coats and Mackinaws used. In their own way, hyper formal outerwear like opera capes are also fairly easy to find in good condition. Wool coats that are in between, like polo coats and Ulsters, tended to have been worn hard and will be considerably damaged from...

    Where YOU can buy heavy overcoats today (28oz-32oz)

    I realize it's a bit unusual to describe full-price RL as a deal, but nevertheless I think I've found a deal. It wasn't immediately accessible on the RL site; I actually found it by accident via a Google search for something else, but they have a polo coat in a beautiful tweed custom woven for...

    First cool post here in a while, haha.

    Glock in Jacket Pistol Pocket (?)

    If you do it you shouldn't without a pocket holster. Especially a striker fired gun; Glock belly doesn't sound great. The pocket is sized for a 1911 so it's actually way too big for most things lol. A good chunk of the models do, except the cafe racers of course. But as mentioned above...

    Project: 5-Star Buco J-82

    To be honest, this part baffled me when you first mentioned it. By asking them to do this, you lost the advantage that came with them duplicating his original. Yes they can grade patterns but 46 and 44 are so close, let alone vintage 46 which is more like a 42! Why not go with the sure thing?

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Bad idea.

    -15% at Aero, but only this week.

    Wow… I didn't order anything in the sale but I was not expecting the massive spike in all prices that followed.

    Help with identifying this RMC Double Riders

    The arm? No I just thought it was a nice view of the seam.

    Help with identifying this RMC Double Riders

    Your last photo is great because you can also see in it how original RMC kept the proper full seam construction that you see in vintage jackets and makes for a stronger jacket. Not so with modern RMC.

    Concern about Buco J-24 Sizing

    Where Buzz Rickson's and the original RMC that went out of business do seek to reproduce original patterns, the current RMC tries to adapt the look to a skinny-fit aesthetic–or did for the longest time–the new pattern indicates a step away not least because skinny fit has been out of fashion for...

    Casual double rider jacket - SB Oakland, or Aero King of the Road?

    You definitely made the right choice. I have my eye on one of these since I've been searching for a 50s Hercules in good condition for ages and they run quite a lot.

    Project: 5-Star Buco J-82

    I think Marc's point is that the placement within models varied so none of them is wrong. @Marc mndt the inconsistency that actually jumped at me most was the pocket flap shape–completely different! But of course part of the charm.

    Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto

    I believe it’s the in-store-only light/midweight horsehide 613 with blackened hardware. Really cool jacket.
