    Schott perfecto sizing advice

    Are you stuck on the specific aesthetic elements of the Raven (the no belt and no epaulette look)? I ask because there are jackets on a similar pattern block that are number-sized, so you could find an in-between size.

    Hot Water Shrink a Shearling B3 ??

    Shearlings really do lend themselves to being worn big.

    Leather Pants, trousers, breeches

    @Monitor has been having this conversation with himself for a decade so he’ll be glad for the company. Tauber’s is well liked here in general.

    Mister Freedom Ringo ranch blouse review

    I assume it's because it's fundamentally Sugar Cane's Type II pattern, so it has a much stronger start.

    What is going on with this site???

    To be clear, I'm not talking about slow responsiveness. I'm talking about an redirect to a phishing site, which is actually dangerous.

    First Aero Leather advice - lightweight CXFQHH or Pinnacle?

    I don't think there's anything wrong with involving Aero in the process; they can attest that the Zip Sleeve Highwayman is a different model from modding the Highwayman with zip sleeves. Yes, the names are similar but what if Bolt had ordered him a Premier Highwayman or 59er Highwayman? The...

    First Aero Leather advice - lightweight CXFQHH or Pinnacle?

    You absolutely should contact Aero. Bolt's behaviour here makes them look bad. Good note for me not to visit Bolt when I'm back in London.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Exactly my thinking. I’m most likely going to go with one of their own CHP variants, probably a WWL. Deciding between straight and cross zip is tricky though. Also wanted quilted padding.

    @Canuck Panda do you know if Johnson currently has any of their super goat in stock? I’m visiting soon and want to check it out.

    Schott 689 length check

    My horsehide perfecto moulded so effectively that it practically shrunk in the areas where it was loose.

    Schott 689 length check

    I hope it works out… you may have rushed the alteration. This Schott horsehide is really stiff at first which flares out, until it breaks and settles in.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Like new Vanson reverse D-pocket, $300 on Marketplace in Maryland. (I'm tempted myself but I'm off to SF soon and planning to get a CHP at Johnson.) Quite nice mid-length Reeds, Made in Turkey; pocket design looks very much like some of the 70s jackets Tony favors. $100 on Marketplace.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Is the collar pressure as bad when you aren't wearing the mouton collar? How does the leather smell? That was my big issue with the Doniger. My understanding is that modern Cal is still fantastic, just quite expensive.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Just to clarify, when you say front you mean the zipper/button length, correct?

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    This version is cool too but the concealed chest pocket is my favourite detail. Can't find the photo I saw but even in this one, the collar shape is so cool.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    As these San Francisco aviators go, I think I went a bit too short on my Field (as a reaction to the overly-long jackets we often see, but for my height it doesn't quite give me a period accurate length ironically). Glad I took your advice to go a bit longer than I had originally planned! But I...
