    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Don't know how accurate it is but they said linemen used similar lace to toe boots to climb electrical poles, thus the term monkey boots? Anyways that's interesting history how different groups of people came to enjoy this particular style of footwear. I see the appeal to it though as it is very...

    JL custom m200

    ^^ so do riders bring 2 jackets on a ride then? 1 for riding and 1 off? Would an in between front length with a 2 way zip help with the "bubble"?

    5* 1950’s All Weather Half belt repro seal brown goat

    ^^ how much powder though? I recently acquired a jacket and had to remove the excess powder at the seams as it made the jacket look discolored lol

    ^^ yes, shinki for example doesn't have a physical break in compared to CXL though a lot of people prefer to break in their jacket? Also a lot of makers offer a mid weight hide so it's up to your personal preference, local climate and how you want to wear your jacket.

    JL custom m200

    I would do the style that some members here use, to indicate on the photo where you started measurement and where you want it to end and be more specific. Mr P gave a detailed measurement instruction example on the 5 star thread recently and that's what tony used as well and it seemed to work...

    Five Star Trucker Jacket - replacement buttons

    This is the amazon sellers link that I got the hardware from. Probably go for a 14mm if you want less stress on the stitching and to make it easier to fasten. I have 17mm on mine which is snug but it works fine. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=CITRON+JEANS&ref=bl_dp_s_web_0

    JL custom m200

    Alright you're coming close to the production as well! Hmm oh boy that's quite a dilemma but maybe why not give the actual desired measurement and inform Damon that it needs to be at that number so there is less confusion?

    Five Star Trucker Jacket - replacement buttons

    Had the same issue with my trucker so I upgraded mine. Just cut the buttons with a cutting plier, they are pretty flimsy so it's an easy fix. Yes you can use the stock button holes made by them. My replacement hardware is two pronged so I had to make another hole beside the original one. Then...

    Field Leathers

    That's good to know, I'm sure they have their own version of fedora lounge over there and the enthusiast probably have the same wavelength as we do. Greg said he will roll out new designs by December so wait until then, I also want a Cossack made by him. So true, really hope there are a lot...

    Aero Ridley / J106 Repository Thread

    I like this particular blackened brown, its more brown than black or maybe it's just the photo on my screen! Looks great on you! Another one for the collection!

    Field Leathers

    Agreed, it can be an expensive hobby but it's pretty fun. The cost is just part of it but it's part of the game. That's pretty good but for that amount why not buy a new jacket instead? It's pretty cool though for some brands to have a high resell value but it's mostly your Japanese makers...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    It is really V shaped and more trim than my stf bootlegger which I like. Tagged Small but feels like 38 chest/shoulder with a 36 waist/hem. the front drop is 2.5", also took bad pictures and I'm wearing low rise chinos and untucked shirt. The belt buckle is definitely covered. It might work...
