    Looking for recommendations for bomber/moto racer mash

    I would say the quality is comparable, rather than superior, but if the jacket is a better fit for what you're looking for then it may be superior in that sense. If you don't want it stiff, instead of these you would be well served by the 141. Same fit as the 641, however it is in a soft yet...

    Vegecow Lewis Leathers quality

    Likewise, Lewis is above the tax threshold in the US so the tax refund will be mostly cancelled out for American customers as well.

    Looking for recommendations for bomber/moto racer mash

    These are great jackets but past your budget so I didn't suggest them. Do you want a stiffer or drapier leather?

    Im Visiting Tokyo soon. Any shop recommendations?

    My personal advice would be to not make your trip too narrowly about workwear, even when it comes to shopping, because there is so much to check out in Japan and workwear is the least of it. For instance, there are makers who do amazing tailoring and other crafts, often for much cheaper than...

    New Thedi MTC-1279720 "Memphis" Arrived This Weekend

    Would she compromise and accept just one of them? Your grocery photo shoots actually do capture the jackets in real life conditions extremely well.

    The Clint Eastwood Poncho

    But not getting darker, I’d think.

    Vegecow Lewis Leathers quality

    Yes, I had no particular desire for that hide (it’s nice but not even one of their traditional hides) but had planned to get a Lightning 402, a Bronx Twin-Track, possibly a Universal Racer. What a shame that they’ve gone up this drastically.

    Looking for recommendations for bomber/moto racer mash

    The shoulders on the Model B are very natural. Yeah, I don’t really expect the city to fit most normal people.

    Vegecow Lewis Leathers quality

    Could have ordered two jackets a month ago for the price of one now!

    Looking for recommendations for bomber/moto racer mash

    The two vertical chest pockets are a nod at Lewis Leathers. The City is 4.5" narrower than the Model B. Maybe consider their Wolverine jacket, the Wolf? It's a Model B with two long vertical zippers that go from handwarmers all the way up.

    Vegecow Lewis Leathers quality

    Looks like Lewis just had an absolutely massive price rise. I should have ordered last year. Base leathers are now the price of the veg-tan cow.

    Talk me into or out of this silly jacket? (Schott sportswear leather)

    Yes sort of a 70s take on a Norfolk jacket.

    Questions about a thrifted 50s (?) 613HH Perfecto I picked up a few weeks back.

    Yeah the 613 name came later, to indicate the stars after the 618 lost them and got a snapped lapel.

    Looking for recommendations for bomber/moto racer mash

    Honestly I wouldn’t risk buying the City jacket after reading about its fit, unless I was at Vanson and could try it in person. Model B on the other hand should fit you nicely and look flattering even if you’re carrying extra weight. Another option I’d suggest that would likely fit your budget...

    Questions about a thrifted 50s (?) 613HH Perfecto I picked up a few weeks back.

    This isn't a 613HH (a very recent though now discontinued) model. This is an actual 1950s 618. I don't think it would be a terribly difficult restoration. Will need some cleaning and elbow grease. Schott will likely send you new stars for free and their current pattern for a fur collar still...

    The Clint Eastwood Poncho

    It's funny how for all these years fans had assumed it was green but brown on the outside from light exposure (even though my experience of such has been something fading lighter).

    The Clint Eastwood Poncho

    While this post/video is about a repro, Eastwood himself (who continues to wear the poncho) just confirmed on Twitter that the actual poncho is reversible, with one olive side and one brown side.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Better price. $100 is about what I'd see them for in the US until very recently.

    Show Us Your OVERCOATS

    At one point in my life I was rather keen on joining a Guards regiment, either the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards for Cavalry or the London Guards (originally the London Scottish) for Infantry, as the Blair/Brown administration killed off the other Scottish regiments. The coats were part of the...

    “Back” Waistcoats

    Perfectly reasonable pruning by the bartenders, I would just restate then that some decent options are Filson or any other western-wear makers if one is open to melton wool, which suits these quite well (as I said earlier); likewise, Sugar Cane, Fullcount among other Japanese makers have beach...
