    Pakistani made Leather jacket round 2

    I think the people here who've gotten really into finding some kind of "silver bullet" maker somewhere in the world that will somehow deliver what you want at a fraction of the cost are throwing good money after bad. Yes, there absolutely are good makers around the world. However, you have to...

    Double Helix Works?

    I’m not telling anyone that he must follow fashion trends haha. I’m just saying that actually the fashion trends are the opposite of what many people on TFL assume.

    Golden Bear via Chigaco?

    "Male Hide LEATHERS" is quite a name. :D

    Double Helix Works?

    Skinny and low rise has been out of fashion for years, so ironically it's generally a sign of people here being out of touch with fashion when they think those are trendy. :D (I'm not insulting here!) Most infamously, Zangy kept calling us out of touch fashionistas about his X-Files jacket, when...

    Aero Board Racer Leather help

    Seeing the price, this seems like a no-brainer. I'd assumed all Bates were around $3k because of their cross-zip.

    Aero Board Racer Leather help

    Aero posted on here before when someone was advising to request underarm footballs on a jacket to say they only do it on those military designs that already had it.

    Aero Board Racer Leather help

    They will only do it on designs that historically came with them, like the US Navy jackets or the Irvin. @MrProper I quite like the look of shoulder gussets but my experience has been that they feel very different with different makers' patterns. Schott's feels almost like a full action back...

    It's definitely designed to be a bit longer. But if that isn't to your tastes, keep me in mind when you sell lol.

    Can you use Saphir Cream on a leather belt?

    The cream will react so violently that your own hand will burn.

    Wait, you placed the order including an alteration and then posted to get people's basic info about its quality?

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    This doesn't look too long to me at all. From the pocket placement you can tell this is not meant to be a waist-length jacket. Proportions are great.

    Regius two tone Hercules!!

    Marc Chevalier who is one of my fave posters from the old days of TFL would often emphasize this. There are the obvious examples we know about, like Ralph Lauren essentially basing his entire project on prewar American and British styles, but he'd also point out how many traditional items were...

    Excellent. I've really wanted one but they're so expensive new.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I’m likely mixing up the model number, but yeah. The costumers had brought out a number of boots, none of which were sufficiently supportive, but his existing work boots from carpentry were just right.

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

    Honestly the Belstaff looks better than the usual mall Perfectos/cafe racers worn by (usually though not always female) politicians and business execs these days as a misguided "cool" replacement for a suit jacket. (They pretty much all look ridiculous though.)

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I'm sure you're familiar with the backstory of how the 403 boot came to be the Indy boot. Not dissimilar.

    For sale Beck 999 ‘50s/‘60s

    Wrong forum. But a mod can usually move it. Great jacket, though. One of my faves from that era. Schott still uses the same pattern fro their mouton collars, so you can get one of those from them too as long as they know the sizing. (My size 42 Beck 999 measures like a modern size 40 613/618...
