    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Finally getting some rain here in Iowa after almost 2 months without rain. Good chance to give some rain-inspired break in to the HD Cycle King by Vanson. This X150 is going to take quite a while to get properly broken in. Apologies in advance for poor lighting/dark/less than fully sharp...

    Aero Ridley / J106 Repository Thread

    That is amazing!!! Makes me almost cry that I gave up my Cordovan Ridley. The Natural has really developed in a marvelous way. Perhaps next year -- one can only hope.

    Lost worlds Horsehide trench coat

    That's incredible there! What a journey you have been on to get this coat, however I trust it's been worth it. Your smile in the photos tells the whole story! Nicely done on a coat style we do not often see around here. Best of luck as well to you and your band. Neat you are persuing this...

    Nicks Boots 11.5C Brand new in box!

    I have now laced these and tried them on. Only on carpet - still 0% worn or broken in. Tags still attached. Will update photos. They fit excellent. Reason for sale is I just do not like not having pull-loops. If this does not bother you, get a deal here. $425 shipped in CONUS PayPal F&F....

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    ^^ Nice, I did the Nick's Boot try on process back last summer (2020) and actually found the Try-on pair of boots to be much too tight! There were stamped 11 A's!! I could barely (just barely) get them on, hardly could lace them, and well, I called a friend to come help me take them off. This...

    Jacket Alteration: Thoughts?

    Yes, as others have said, I would leave it alone. Very very nice Half-belt there. Wear & enjoy it! :) What leather is it made of? It's nice & thick but has a drape to it already.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Very Cool Terry! Probably not good to wear through Airport security, but indeed quite the tastefully modified piece there. Hope I can come see it sometime.

    Grail find: 1950s Buco J-24L

    Fantastic find there Mendel!! So glad this was able to make its way to you. Neat also that Marc is so close by and you guys obviously share a similar passion for leathers. Anyone who saw you both with your D-pockets on must have noticed. I hope you get to wear it in good health and enjoy...

    Comparison - Wesco Mr Lou to John Lofgren Engineer

    ^^ This very well describes my impressions too. It's likely in a year or so another pair of MR Lou's will be ordered via Baker's. Meanwhile, the Lofgrens just keep creeping wider & wider with use, so they may be up for sale quite soon.

    Effective Jacket breakin methods

    So this is a post for fun. This question is asked all the time -- how do I break this thing in. Please understand the break-in process for Leather is different from Cotton Duck material. Which is still different from waxed cotton. I would not suggest (all) of this for a new horse or...

    Vanson Jackets Serial Numbers

    Cool - the one I am looking at (and being rather silly about the whole thing, really) has a serial # of 53393**07 so not too far after yours was produced, it seems. If I do go for it, it will be memorable.... :)

    Vanson Jackets Serial Numbers

    Thread revival! It's been on my mind to ask this, but thought I would try again here. I should probably just register my Vanson's, that would likely tell the true age 34490B12 Having trouble finding the serial # for the HD-model
