    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Yeah my friend has the Bonafes. I’ve been after a more traditional last to wear with morning dress and the like.

    Pakistani made Leather jacket round 2

    It's the same expression in English. :) I think Denny was just joking with his response. My point was just that PK was pretty well known as a producer for leather goods already, going back to the 1940s original American jackets which used goat skins from British India.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I'll check these out. I've always wanted button boots (since I was 15 at least) but as far as I knew my only option was John Lobb bespoke in St. James (or some of the bespoke makers in Hungary).

    Twin Peaks: James's Jacket?

    I went to watch Fire Walk With Me at the cinema last week (with Sheryl Lee in attendance no less; she complimented my tweed! Instead of something British, I went for a sack jacket because the Americana seemed to suit Lynch) and it was a great way to see the details of the jackets. Bobby's Bates...

    Mystery Jacket CHP style

    Whether or not Monarch made it, what didn't they make? The range is incredible. I've learned a lot even from seeing Dave Sheeley's analyses of their machinery.

    Pakistani made Leather jacket round 2

    How do you mean exactly? It's always (going back to ancient times) been an area for leather work and fabric weaving. Even as outsourcing goes it's been a common place for things made of either. Even in WWII, the US got its goat hides for jackets from British India. Incidentally, speaking of PK...

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

    Welcome!

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

    The sizing there still makes me sad but I’m glad it fit Marc!

    I think AHP is concerned we might be once again providing unpaid product research for a seller.

    Jacket Question

    There's a company called Five Star Leather in Pakistan. They're quite a good leather factory, but quite bad at patterning/design, so most orders through them are a big bet. However @abbaralph here just sent them a real U-Boat jacket to reproduce exactly. I don't know if he's received it yet...

    Field Leathers

    No we went over this about a year ago. I think now they might align more but especially when Greg was still doing custom orders, they didn’t quite align.

    The numbers do not translate to production order.

    Looking for recommendations for bomber/moto racer mash

    Both should be comparable for durability for plain wear so it’s down to what you like better. The one you need to break in is shiny. The one that’s already soft is matte.

    Looking for recommendations for bomber/moto racer mash

    That's why none of us are making recommendations based on technical terms, haha. Soft from the get-go or stiff that needs to break in soft is the question.

    Vegecow Lewis Leathers quality

    Yeah it’s pretty much a match for the Fine Creek copy’s price.

    Vegecow Lewis Leathers quality

    There was another price rise in recent years but not dramatic like this one. Now they’re following the Eastman model I guess.

    Vegecow Lewis Leathers quality

    Tbh with Lewis it's probably overdue given the dramatic drop in the GBP's value, but it's just very drastic. It would have bothered me less I think if we were getting a bump every year. I remember Schott told me the price of leather (and both companies are largely sourcing from the Italian...

    Looking for recommendations for bomber/moto racer mash

    The 654 only comes in alpha sizing and you’d be between sizes on it. Glossy vs matte isn’t a quality indicator. The 641 has a stiff leather with shiny top coat whereas the 141 is a soft matte leather. The fleece liner is removable.

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

    Same size/lot photo they were using in the 50s/60s.

    Im Visiting Tokyo soon. Any shop recommendations?

    Likewise, check out PBJ. Both brands have a policy of basically doubling prices overseas (including from JP companies that sell overseas).
