    Five Star Leather Jackets

    It's not hard if you use white balance and a grey card... It's really not complicated to do and it allows you to have consistant colours in pictures whatever the ambiant light is. Personally i don't understand that a shop would not do that, it removes all room for error.

    Lost Worlds "Factory"

    From what i have seen before the LW "factory" is a small basement workshop where two people work. This thread is a bit cancerous but it has good pics on page 7: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/lost-worlds’-founder-stuart-interviewed.101380/page-7 Edit: Looks like the LW shop is the...

    FS: 60s Cal Leather CHP Jacket Black (Ultra-Grainy Alert!)

    Just FYI, i was discussing this kind of grain pattern with Stuart last week. Apparently this kind of grain is usually found on and around the backbone of the horse, an area called the "draw". The heavier the hides, the more pronounced the "draw" is.

    Vintage Eastman SFAD B3 size 42R

    I still don't get how he managed to get his money back after paying with F&F. @Snackson was it regular paypal or F&F, and if it was F&F how did he manage to start an eBay case?

    Vintage Eastman SFAD B3 size 42R

    He was the guy i was talking about when i mentionned that when my SanMateo was for sale some guy spent 6 months harassing me with weekly lowball offers. He was relentless, going on and on about how he really wanted the jacket, but his wife would kill him if he spent 1750 dollars on it, that i...

    I don't know what you imply, i have ordered 5 jackets from LW, i would trust that website more than i would trust someone on Instagram... (i have never had an IG account)

    Great coats.. To wear or not to wear that is the question?

    I might be wrong but i think Crombie did some of the original WWII great coats: http://afine-toothcomb.blogspot.com/2017/01/what-i-wore-today-crombie-great-coat.html

    I vote "wear it", life is too short to worry about what others think of what you wear.

    Blowdryer + conditioner on Lost Worlds leather (before, during, after)

    That can't be a Lost Worlds, everybody knows LW have no character and are impossible to break in! Seriously though, that really looks great. You are making me regret not buying this one more and more every time you post a pic like that.

    What would you tell your former self about ordering a custom Aero?

    The way i see it, you talk like all fit problems can be fixed by breaking the jacket in, this is what I (and i think Monitor) disagree about. I didn't say "Aero jackets aren't as comfortable new" i said i didn't find them comfortable full stop. I have worn both of these jackets enough for them...

    What would you tell your former self about ordering a custom Aero?

    Agreed. These two jackets are my two heaviest and thickest, they are ridiculously thick and heavy, both were comfortable and gave me full range of motion new out of the box, they took zero break in. They are both super well designed patterns. Lost Worlds Leathertogs: 3.44kg / 7.58lb Vanson...

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    These are inspired by tanker/despatch rider swedih jackets from the 40s-50s. I find them pretty cool, I have an original: And a 90s Vanson version:

    So are you the new owner?
  22. Carlos840

    What would you tell your former self about ordering a custom Aero?

    Here, this is what i mean: To me this is a sign of poor neckhole/shoulder design, it rests all the weight of the jacket on the wearer's neck rather than the shoulders. Some people will say it is a problem with your specific body shape not matching a specific jacket pattern, i don't think...

    What would you tell your former self about ordering a custom Aero?

    I disagree, all these jackets hang on your neck, the creases running from your neck to your pits show it pretty clearly...
