    Yeah, you sure did pick the wrong location for leather jackets, etc!

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    This afternoon the media in the Maritimes was freaking out, which they never do. Looks like a ton of snow on the way for them. Here in SoOnt it was cold, about 15F, but warm enough that I was okay in a nomex CWU jacket and some old pyjamas under my chinos. However, the wind chill was unlike...

    Leather Police Jackets

    ^ Oh man, that's an awesome coat. Look at how the buttons are attached: German over-engineering. No doubt the goth chicks like that coat!

    Think you're man enough to handle a BarnStormer flyboy...? No wimps allowed!!

    ^ Thanks for the clarification re colours. I like that burgundy/cherry colour, but I agree a chestnut brown would probably be ideal. I've been mulling over a 3/4 length belted leather coat for a while now and these look great, although I think the bottom row of buttons is positioned too low, and...

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    Here's an interesting chart spotted on the interweb: how much snow is needed for schools to close. I have no idea if it's accurate.

    Think you're man enough to handle a BarnStormer flyboy...? No wimps allowed!!

    I don't own that coat, but I wish I did! I have no idea what the colour is, it was for sale on StyleForum at one point, the seller called it "burgundy" and described it as Chromexcel Steerhide. I'm not seeing anything listed on the Aero website that matches, but I'm not knowledgeable about...

    Cleaning the inside of an A-2/ G-1 leather jacket

    Dumpster Diver is experienced with this stuff so listen to him, but if the jacket is reasonably clean but you just want to freshen it up then just turn it inside out and sponge-bathe the lining, etc. I've done that and it's fine.

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    Now isn't everyone glad they own dozens of winter jackets/coats/whatever? Thousands of dollars and dozens of square feet of closet space devoted to a single passion is paying off this winter!

    What the hell is this?? I thought Florida was immune to weather like this.

    Here's a great custom-made overcoat which is up on e-bay right now (nothing to do with me).

    I think these quotes are both smart and insightful.

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    -55F is ouch, I've never seen it that cold (which is fine with me). I remember my dad talking about his early days out of college when he had a job with a mining company in Thompson, Manitoba, and it would regularly get that low. I'll add my usual reminder: -40 is where the F and C scales match!

    Schott 618hh Perfecto Leather Jacket

    Thanks for posting those photos. It looks like you have to have a belly to wear one of these jackets or the waist will be too roomy.

    Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!

    Here's a very old, true vintage Brooks Brothers trench coat. If I was going to have one made or start a company making them I'd copy this design since I think the details and proportions are perfect.

    Taylor's police jacket sale

    I think you're better off with the longer torso length. If you've seen photos of these jackets being worn by police you'll realize they're actually really short and wouldn't even cover your belt!

    Women's leather jackets

    For what it's worth, for a long time products made in China entering North America were generally junk quality, hence there is a lingering bias against them. Further to this, at some point many North American companies closed operations in the US putting people out of work and shifted production...
