    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I get it, i like to wear a jacket for at least a week or two before i write anything about it. I want the honeymoon to be over... I look forward to your review when it comes. Edit: you should look for a used JH-1, it would really suite you too.

    What To Expect From Horsehide (Appearance, Color, Handfeel, etc.)

    It feels like you are commenting on a different thread... What is going on here?

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

    IMO there isn't enough tapering at the waist. The bottom hem is too wide and looks a bit messy. It's somethign i see on a lot of Thedi jackets, both on his website and on TFL fitpics, IMO there is usually a bit of bottom hem overhang going on.

    What To Expect From Horsehide (Appearance, Color, Handfeel, etc.)

    Both of these jackets are CXL horsehide, from the same batch of leather ordered by Vanson from Horween, they look completely different: Only one of these sleeves is Horse, the other two are cow, which is which? Same question: What about these two, one is HH, one is Cow, which is...

    Lost World Trojan Motorcycle jackets-NOS-size 40

    You might be surprised, it might fit great. Before LW i was speccing my sleeves and back at 26.5". WHen i ordered my J-23 i just asked for "a size 42 with the length of a sizze 44" To my surprised the jacket ended up with 25.25" back and sleeve length and it fits great. I would have previously...

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    That was my original way of thinking back when i joined TFL. Now i think differently, IMO a jacket with side cinches looks better when there is a little bit of cinching going on than it does with the straps completely loose and the side panels completely flat. If i see side straps i now want to...

    What To Expect From Horsehide (Appearance, Color, Handfeel, etc.)

    That's like asking "what to expect from wine". There are a lot of different horsehides, with a lot of different characteristics. The only think you can really answer is "expect differences"

    Ever think some jackets are overhyped

    I didn't post these pics because i wanted a remake in the first place. I don't want to spend 1000$ more on this jacket just to maybe get better stitching, it makes no sens to me, especially when i can get a better jacket for less money from other makers. Edit: Also you say "charitable" but IMO...

    Ever think some jackets are overhyped

    It depends under which conditions. I am not ready to spend any money on having that jacket remade, shipping + import tax will be just under $1000. If Mr. Himel is ready to pay for shipping both way and pay for import taxes i am happy to put the jacket in a box, print a label and send it. If he...

    Ever think some jackets are overhyped

    I was not complaining about my jacket, i was just showing what my Himel looked like after hearing a bunch of people go on and on about the perfection you should expect from a Himel... I was just pointing out that not all Himel are perfect, IMO far from it.

    J.A. Dubow Type B-3

    Now idea what this is, but it's not a Dubow. It looks like a classic civilian version loosely inspired by the B3. As JJ said above, it could be anything.

    That bottom one is quite hilarious... Let's not forget the precision of this belt loop: He must have sneezed when making that cut, there is no other explanation!

    Himel Bros Chevalier bis

    At the time i ordered, people where still under the impression Dave was making his own jackets, it was before he changed his website and removed a bunch of models from it. He actually told me in a message: "no headaches at all which is how I could sew this so fast". In my mind Dave had made this...

    Lost worlds Horsehide trench coat

    Yep, all my LW where declared as being worth 650$, i never paid more than 350$ for shipping + import taxes. Personally i'm a big fan of LW (i have 11 of their jackets and more coming) and would definitely recommend their work, but Thedi is definitely no slouch either. You can't go wrong with...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Just out of interrest, is that hide plated? (do you mind asking shawn?) Not trying to downgrade it, just trying to understand what i am seeing. The fit is really nice, congrats.

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

    Definitely one if not two sizes too big. The waist fits like a bag, the shoulders are falling off your natural shoulders, arms are also 2" too long.

    “An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it.” ~ John F. Kennedy

    It doesn't cause me grief, i enjoy it for what it is to me, great wall art. It's a beautiful design, made from beautiful leather, i just don't get enjoyment from wearing it. But it is currently one of the three jackets that i have at the front of the rails so that i can see it everytime i go up...
