    Johnson Leathers WWL-41

    So i was looking at pictures of this jacket, getting mentally ready to put it on for the first time, and trying to understand what it was and what inspired its features and i think i cracked the code. I am going to have to respectfully disagree with Tony on it being "based on the venerable Cal...

    Fine Creek Leather

    A few years back the same thing happened to the rear shoulder of a Himel canuck, the entire armhole seam ripped in the back, a good 20 cm tear. The owner put the jacket for sale on ebay with a slight discount saying somehtign like "for repair", it was pretty funny in a tragic way. Not sure if...

    Help me ID this Harley Davidson jacket

    Lotion doesn't care if it is applied to steerhide/cowhide or HH, in the end leather is leather and i have not seen that different hide really needs different treatment. You don't need much, just wipe the pits with the rag you use to grease your shoes and it should sort it out. When i said...

    Help me ID this Harley Davidson jacket

    Harley has licensed their name to many makers througout the years. Lately i can think of Vanson, RMC and Sugar cane that have been making HD branded jackets, but i am sure many other companies made jackets for them. I couldn't tell you who made yours though. Regarding what it's made off, it...

    Ton’s “oh shit I bought too much” sale

    I never had a JL before and this one looked like a perfect introduction to that maker. I had also been curious about dual tone jackets, two birds with one stone. The second i saw it i thought to myself "how long until i can pounce on that one?" Edit: the answer to that question is apparently 19...

    Lightweight leather

    Welcome, Eastman (and ELMC) are some of the lightest jackets out there, really nice leather and well made.

    Restoration work - cracked leather (Can one stop it from developing?)

    I have heard from a respected maker that wood filler can be used to fill cracks/needle holes. You can then dye the repair and make it pretty much invisible. It will never have any structural integrity, but it will look better. Personally i stay away from cracked leather, IMO once it has started...

    If you could only have THREE ...

    Honestly, i rarely wear it. Brown is really not my colour to start with, and on top of that the Himel really doesn't have the "special" factor that the other three i posted have.

    If you could only have THREE ...

    That was literally my exact path... Like @Hobbes1 i thought cross zips were a bit much, i got a bootlegger, enjoyed it, decided i was ready for more, got a Vanson CHP 2, and it all went south from there.

    Buzz Rickson's B-2...a pictorial review of an endangered species!

    I hadread so much negative about the B2s buttons both here and on VLJ but i have to say the ones on my LW B2 aer prettu usable, i don't find them a problem. The snap throat latch is useless though.

    If you could only have THREE ...

    If my house cought fire right now and i could only save three jackets it would be: I'm not sure i would survive the broken heart i would get from seeing the rest of them burn to ashes... Edit: just re read the Op and realized you are asking about styles, not specific jackets, personally...

    Dude, don't do it, you told me so many times that you loved this vest and would never let it go.

    Real or not buco jacket??

    Or just been sold like that, many makers use the Buco label on jackets that are not real Bucos... I agree that the OPs jacket looks like a 90s copy.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Why do you need the sleeves to be at perfect length with your arms up? Maybe i'm weird but i would think the good old "arms by your side" pose is more common no?

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

    Same price i paid for all my jackets, what i meant is that the main crown zipper is 250$ not 450$ as implied above. As i said above, can you name another maker that offers a full Crown package for less?
