    Regius Made Leather Jacket

    No need to change shirt, just tuck it in. (Shirts this long will always look wrong untucked since the long tail is for that purpose.)

    Regius Made Leather Jacket

    The shirt tails are making it look like a dress.

    JC Pennys 1950s?Leather Jacket?

    For what it's worth, your jacket is worth about $100 tops. I'm giving you an honest assessment. You're pricing it at over 5x its market worth. It's quite easy to find and buy vintage leather jackets in better condition, from much higher end makes, for $100, like when I've bought Fidelity Indian...

    Almost certainly not.

    Teacore leather jackets - post yours here!

    The black should look pretty similar except being black as the top coat. I really love the jerky horse. It feels very much like a real 30s-50s vintage horsehide, except new.

    Teacore leather jackets - post yours here!

    It was a just a description the Japanese collectors had for vintage jackets with a core that sort of resembles the reddish brown colour of brewed tea. These terms generally don't make sense outside of their vintage picking context, and some of them are outright broken English that has...

    Vintage Schott-Beck Motorcycle Jackets

    Here you go! Sorry I ended up having to travel and forgot to get back to this. I just saw your Schott video series get suggested on YouTube. Gonna give it a watch!

    Teacore leather jackets - post yours here!

    Eh. “Tea core” in the way the online fanbase of leather jackets uses it is not the same as how the Japanese originally used it to describe a specific core colour that had that tea tone. They use it to mean leather with a darker topcoat designed to chip away. Which is why it’s now used to market...

    Field Leathers

    In practice, none of them is especially water resistant, the tea core included. There’s a reason I don’t own more Shinki… that’s why I’d go with the more interesting leather lol, neither is going to keep me dry so I may as well take advantage.

    Field Leathers

    They have a really beautiful feel in the hand and catch the eye in a way very few black leathers do. The tea core while nice is very similar to other leathers, such as Aero's jerky horse. Additionally it is pretty much the most common Japanese horsehide you'll find in readymade Japanese...

    Field Leathers

    I would discount the tea core altogether. It’s a good leather but the aniline alternatives are a substantial upgrade. Oil finish seems like a bonus to me, so that’s where I’d land.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Says who? Tons of Aero’s have massive V-shaped drops. Indian Ranger is 10”, CHIPs is similarly huge, etc.

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    I imagine given their magic patterning skills, these drop shoulder jackets are actually comfortable and good to move around in. I was in a hurry when I dropped by so I didn’t think to try one on. I’d imagine Alan and Damon could dial you in for sizing.

    Yeah I didn't realize he was going to send his full research paper, lol. I thought that was just his process of coming up with the spec.

    Nah, he's probably going to order a 1cm thick leather jacket from the German guys red visited.

    I agree that Johnson patterns handily beat all the boutique makers (except Chapman) but I meant the leather itself being incredibly stiff. The way Johnson cuts sleeves is absolutely amazing, for example; so much so that you can wear a jacket too small for you and still move around perfectly–but...

    I was very sore from the blue Shinki from Field. Super stiff stuff that didn’t seem to soften even with break in. Oddly, though getting it very wet didn’t do much, a few days of very light rain seemed to make it more pliable. This must be a whole new dimension on top of that.
