    New! ELMC Jacket Highway Star®️ Horsehide

    IMO even the website pic is taken in a way that is trying to disguise that issue. Both his hands are next to his hips trying to hide the overhang, You can see behind his left hand that he probably has three inches of room in the bottom hem. I think that shot straight on with his arms by his...

    Is fabric turned stiff by crazy glue more resistant than fabric that is still soft? I wondered the same thing recently, the Talon on my B2 lost the thin transparent plastic the was glued on the tape, both sides of the male insertion pin. I thought about soaking that area in super glue to make it...

    Some leathers are hot stuffed with fats and waxes, the leather absorbes a certain amount when it is warm. When the leather is exposed to colder temperatures, it contracts and pushes waxes back to the surface, this is called "blooming", all it is is a thin coat of fat/wax that has found it's way...

    Buying jackets on Japanese auction sites

    I have never bought jackets on buyee, but have bought around 50 items there and i have never had a problem. Everything i have received from them was always as advertised and superbly packaged. The japanese take packing things to a new level IMO. Only thing is they always declare accurate value...

    The Real McCoy's Buco JH-1 Size 46 for sale

    If i where you i would push the loop/pulled thread back in the fabric. Just use the eye end of a sewing needle and gently push it through, you shoudl be able to get it back in between the leather and the lining. It should be completely invisible once done. It will look better in your sale pics...

    Does Langlitz offer veg tanned leather?

    I don't think so. Last i heard they only have medium and lightweight chrome tanned cowhide in black and brown. They did offer Shinki horsehide, which is probably a mix of chrome tanned and veg tanned, but the upcharge is $1200.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    The standard for snaps seem to be DOT branded ones. I just had a snap fail on my Lee Storm rider, the male part just broke and fell off when i reached forward. Thankfully the remaining female part on the sleeve is compatible with dot snpas, so i can just replace the male part and keep the Lee...

    That has also been my experience, they get slightly darker for a couple months, and then one day they just look like it never happened.

    Looks good to me. I generally wear mine with the last button undone to avoid the bunching up.

    The laces are there to make the jacket fit you, the loops are to attach your duty belt. The gun, handcuffs, etc are carried on the jacket itself.

    Your opinion / Barnstormer 2nd hand

    Nothing wrong, it looks like a clean brown CXL jacket to me. Just use a damp clotch to lightly rub the back of the neck and cuffs if you don't want to deal the the previous owner's schmoo, that's it.
