    Some close up comparison of leathers

    Just got a macro lens for the iPhone & had some fun with close ups, I guess I needed to keep absolutely still, but this is a good start. Can you guess what jackets these are? Schott steerhide Harley Davidson cowhide Bates cowhide (Nasa) Some vintage steerhide 1 Vintage steerhide 2 Vintage...

    The thickness of the horsehide vs the medium cowhide can be seen in this photo. Now, they are not of the same thickness, & Langlitz doesn’t claim they are. I’ll get a macro lens tomorrow so I can take better close up shots. The horsehide is much more pliable & creases easily. I am convinced...

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

    Just received this 50-60s Italian police (?) jacket, raglan shoulder with belt, strong goatskin. Not as thick & armor like as the East German or Swedish coat from post war, but similar idea, far stiffer than today’s goat. Any of your European collectors who know about this brand please share...

    The sandwich effect, I noticed it as I can actually separate the layers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    So, this horsehide actually didn’t impress me at all, don’t mean to sound snobbish but in glaze & suppleness, it’s just like the Eastman Luftwaffe HH, & very similar to the Schott HH (sourced from Italy in both cases). But without the Schott chemical smell, maybe it’s because it’s a sample. It’s...

    Just received some leather sample from Langlitz. Did you guys realize the medium cowhide is possibly two layers glued together? A bit like the felt sandwiched Schott horsehide. Now I’ve handled the goat, I think gonna stick to the horse or the cowhide. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Blattwerk Leather - HELP!

    Also try the product Leatherique, it is the most effective leather softening conditioner.

    I really want to see some macro closeup on the goat. I have handled some truly tough goat leather, feel like armor to the hand. I currently have a beat up MC jacket of unknown brand, probably from the 90s, nothing special, but the goat is just outstanding. It’s a man’s jacket, 24” back, doesn’t...

    Vtg 60s Sears Hercules A-2 Leather Jacket

    Nice jacket, surprised no one commented, but these vintage civilian flight style is my favourite, not a market favourite I understand. Price is a bit steep but I can appreciate it for the condition. One question, pit seems too narrow, is it stretched out? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Show your natural leather

    Some random technical snippet here, thought it’s interesting to share. “The use of proteases in the leather and wool industries” ————-//////————-//////————— The leather industry consumes a significant proportion of the world's enzyme production. Alkaline proteases are used to remove hair from...

    I’m also seriously considering a custom Columbia today. Just noticed on their order form that you can choose many truly custom option: sloping of the shoulder in particular. This is a treat as it requires real alteration of the pattern, arm hole, sleeve cap, this is something I’ve never seen...

    Documentary idea on this culture

    What I have found very beautiful about us members/jacket collectors here is that (most of us) are very self-aware, & we are open about it, we quickly see pass the judgmental aspects and just focus on the hobby itself, this value-neutral consensus is a very important theme to showcase. Regarding...

    Documentary idea on this culture

    “We are not normal” is a perfectly normal & reasonable possibility, I’m certainly not going to angle it in this one way & show a world of what I think are abnormal people, it’s one of the many questions the objective documentarian has to ask. It sounds to me you want to make a conscious choice...

    Documentary idea on this culture

    Like any good sports documentary, animal documentary, what make them interesting & worth watching & inspiring is how the “things” reflect & make the human pop & meaningful. Be it people go fanatic on stamps or jackets, the questions explored are about the people. Of course, in the case of any...
