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

    Go for the Vanson and let us know how it works out please. I have always wanted a twin track jacket, but i kinda want to try one out first as i think the double zipper thing might be hard to size. The Lewis Leathers Bronx also has that feature and is super cool too.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Nice! Thats a perfect fit, nothing could be improved. You are inching closer and closer to that cross zip we all want to see you in... I think the next one might be it...

    Concern about Buco J-24 Sizing

    I think you should try both. I am 188cm, 80kg , I have a RMC JH-1 in size 42 and it fits pretty well. When i bought it i hesitated between 42 and 44 for a while as the 44 also fit well, but it was a bit big in some areas. All that to say, depending on my preference i could have bought both the...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    It's these sweeping vertical seams on the front and back, they do something magical and give a roundess to both front and back panels that perfectly hugs the body. I think Leathertogs really nailed it when they did that, it's one of the cleanest/most comfortable designs i have worn. The LT/A is...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Are those two the same size? I think the back length of the second one works much better on you. That looks really nice.

    Is the jacket made from the same teacore leather as the puller? If so that's going to look super nice when you start wearing through the top coat...

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

    My best friend has been helping me a lot with the works on my house. Together we have completely redone the entire heating system (we moved 13 cast iron radiators, the heaviest one was 180kg/400lb, it had to go down 44 steps!), layed 80 sheets of drywall in the basement, done a bunch of...

    Vintage Cal - It's changing my outlook on things

    Maybe i have been unlucky, but i still have not experienced a "good" Cal... I have had 4 in total, 3 CHP and 1 Cafe racer, and all of them have been pretty disappointing. My first one was a 60s padded CHP (teardrop talon zippers), the stitching on that one was horrible and the leather was thin...

    Field Leathers

    How on earth are you getting that done in two weeks? I placed my order in late November. I was originally told i would have my jacket finished in March, that slipped... I was then told the pattern would be started the 1st of march and my mockup would be done by the 12th, that didn't happen... I...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    These are the ones i am talking about: Most jackets are double stitched all the way around, some are double stitched on the top half of the shoulder and single stitched on the bottom half (thedi does that a lot) some are single stitched all the way around (a lot of deerskin jackets are single...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    This fits you incredibly well. The only thing i would change are the single stitched sleeves, it's somethign that scares me. I know it's probably not a problem, HD cafe racers are single stitched and are usually fine, but i just can't help but see it as a weakness. Once you know what you want...

    Is my 1960s Langlitz Columbia Horsehide?

    It looks like a regular cow Langlitz to me, but i also think that cow and horse can be impossible to tell appart if they are tanned the same, so what do i know?
