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

    I wonder if this has anything to do with the Himel "name your price sale" that is going on... Are we finally going to see you in a cross zip? Did you get that black Avro?

    Schott x Shinki Jacket

    I would send that back, IMO if you let them get away with it you reenforce the notion that they can get away with selling poorly made jackets and poor attention to detail. I would also refuse to pay for return shipping on the basis that you have already returned that screwed up jacket once and...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Have a look at Buyee.jp, i have used them many times (probably 30 to 50 times) and never had a problem. They bid for you, receive the item in a warehouse in Japan, repack it for international shipping and send it on to you.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Agreed, for me this kind of ankle length is very feminin.

    Thoughts from the pros regarding this Fine Creek would be appreciated

    I am 6'2" and 180lb with wide shoulders, i easily fit in jackets with 18" shoulders. If you like that jacket get it, it will most likely be ok.

    I would have sent that back! That's shockingly poorly stitched!

    Squeakage!

    In my experience most of the squeek comes from the pits. I have found that just rubbing the rag i use to apply pecard in the pits will usually really tame the squeek.

    Field Leathers

    Basically aniline is a dye, it changes the colour of the leather itself. Pigment is a paint, it's literally a coat of paint on the surface of the hide. There is no colour penetration on pigment leather.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Started reading that thread, it only took two pages for Master Ken to start craping on the competition and making threats. What a surprise... That place really is the worst.

    Aero sheene sizing help please

    I don't know how my experience translates to bigger sizes, but i wear a 42 in most other brands and all my Aeros are size 40. IMO Aero tends to oversize the pit to pit pretty consistantly.

    Johnson Leathers black cowhide MC-500

    That looks really nice, a bit like a reworked Cascade. Is it fully armored? I think the armour is quite discreete. Regarding the laces, here are my three favourite ways: On the left, the neatest undercover way, i start from the top inside, go down, you can choose to either criss cross them or...

    I'm no zipper expert but i would say yes, i think usually the pin is not level with the teeth but a bit lower.

    Nice Beaver you got there!

    Help: breakage in vintage Conmar zip

    The first picture you posted clearly shows the pin was not touching the first tooth. There should be a gap similar to the gap between two teeth in between the pin and the first tooth.

    TFL Wallet

    Which one? The top one is a 70s "Baldric" buckle made by Tech-Ether The secodn one is a Rainbow Metals Haida Bear. The website is worthy of LW but they make great buckles: http://www.rainbowmetals.com/
