    I was under the impression that changed with different brands. I remember reading that Wranglers claim to fame was that the folded seam was on the outside of the leg instead of the traditional inside of the leg to prevent chaffing when horse riding.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Not really, in Belgium you cannot take pictures of people without their consent. It's ok if they are part of a crowd, but they cannot be the main point of interrest of the picture. Same in France. In the US and UK you can just walk to someone and take a picture of them. This isn't legal in...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I disagree, i have 7 Vansons and i am a 42/M in all of them, which is my regular size (41" chest). The only brands where i consistantly have to size down are Schott and Aero.

    Field Leathers

    To me they are teacore leather, i think "teacore" has evolved into a blanket term that designates a leather that wears through the top coat showing a contrasting hide other than the classic chromed blue hide. It might not be correct to the purist but this is how i use it.

    Field Leathers

    So what do we call a leather like what FW uses, if it is not a "real" teacore? A constrasting wear leather? A fade to grey/ fade to brown? It seems like unnecessary complication.

    Field Leathers

    Yes and no, there can be more steps, and a leather doesn't have to be veg tanned to be teacore. Compare these two leathers, they are both teacore to the extent that they are not black all the way through and will show contrast wear: The one on the left is fully anilin drum dyed grey, it was...

    Aero Bootlegger in super heavy cordovan horsehide – 44

    I wonder if this is actually horse? It looks a lot like steer to me and i don't think Aero ever sold 4.5oz HH, i wonder if this jacket could be a survivor from the "Storse" debacle before Ken came back. If it is indeed HH it is one of the nices i have seen! Does it have a production tag with a...

    Non-Leather Moto Jacket Recommendations?

    Tht's such a weird combo! The Barbour collar and the D pocket really really don't go together IMO. It's like a jacket for a motorcycle racing farmer!

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I was comparing the Arcadia and your version, to be honest i had never seen pics of the original. I do agree that yours is closer to the original than the Arcadia, but i wrongly assumed you had given 5 Star a picture of the Arcadia and they had come up with their version of the curve, not...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    It's a shame they are not getting the curve of the piping right. They got it wrong on Ton's Arcadia copy, and they got it wrong on this one too. Other than that and the few mistakes you mentionned it does look like a nice jacket. Agree that the cuffs look too long.
