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

    It is Horween CXl, the same batch that was used to make the "Gold standard" Left Field Commando (as pictured in my previous post). It is a little bit thinner than what Aero uses, closer to 3oz than 3.5oz. Apparently after making the 20 (not sure if 20 is total or per size) jackets from the run...

    FS: Lost Worlds J.A. Dubow B-3 (40)

    I just wanted to point out that this jacket arrived with a pretty obvious tear on the pocket and shows a lot more signs of wear than were visible in the pictures. When questionned the seller denies knowing anything about any of it. Although described as "superb condition (only worn a few...

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

    I was on the phone with Vanson yesterday, my latest project is finished and shipped today! It took much longer than planned because of Covid, but it is finally done. Basically the love child of these two: CXL commando, stock gold rayon lining, deleted the ticket pocket and the right...

    Which bi-swing back design is best?

    And it has no action back, no gussets, no footballs, nothing. I agree, that jacket is a masterpiece.

    Which bi-swing back design is best?

    There isn't an answer to the question you are asking. There isn't a best action back design, the comfort of a jacket is achieved by the total design, not just a single piece/element. Some jackets with shoulder gussets are comfortable, some are not, some jackets with underarm gussets are...

    Schott 60's Cafe Racer Review - The Unsung Hero

    That looks great, that stitching is super tight, really unlike the usual Schotts i have seen. How is the fit?

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Yep, i have one coming but i am pretty sure sleeves will be short on me, it also has YKK zippers... It already has a buyer if it is too short for me.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    No 10 Sprung crown zippers on the sleeves! I had never seen that, that's mega overkill but awesome.

    Isn't it that the first pic is a "regular" one, the second is HDR?

    Fine Creek Virginia Beach

    That's a really nice jacket, great fit too. I have to say i also really like the Lee with the black buttons in the fourth picture, what was that one?

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

    Is it possible to replace pulls on sleeve pockets? I don't think so, there isn't an open side with a stop to remove. I could cut the puller off and put a new one in the remaining ring but i don't think it would look right. Yep, chest is massive: Pit to pit: 24.5” Back length: 24.5” Front...

    Hey Corky, is this peacoat still available?

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

    Super warm, and inded very beautiful, but imagine her with diamond pulls, or Waldes chain and ball, or even Talon teardrop pullers... She would be incredible! This one is actually made from horsehide just like the 613H i sold you, side by side there was no difference between them. Edit...

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

    That's why i have such a love/hate relationship with this jacket, if it had any other zippers it would be a 9/10, with these zippers it's a strong 5/10:

    Johnson Leathers WWL-41

    Well there goes my theory... But they still copied the Cascade's waistband stitch pattern rather than the way it is done on the vintage jacket they posted. I'd like to see the back of that vintage one.
