    Good Wear Modoc

    Some member over at the VLJ will be quite apoplectic, lol. And, no, the artisan will not likely become the businessman, the artisan would rather cease to exist than to become the businessman.

    Good Wear Modoc

    I understand your sentiment, but I disagree on the "exactly the same jacket" part. I feel objection to this sweeping statement because of my own hands on practice in garment making in the past three years. Now with inside knowledge of thread tension, the intricate know-how on pattern and seams...

    Good Wear Modoc

    my sister in law falls squarely into the latter, completely hopeless in making money and providing service....but her craft (making miniature things, whatever they are) is out of this world. If she cares about marketing herself, she'd be in the league of Stan Winston!!

    Good Wear Modoc

    Ah, gentlemen, I wouldn't say a hoax. I just spoke to John on the phone and via email last week, as I was interested in one of his ready made jackets. He's still pleasant and upfront to speak to as usual and my take is this, there are two types of "producers", one type is essentially a...

    FS: Sears Hercules wool hounds tooth Car coat

    No offense taken. Just feels like a rather “overcoat” ish when I put it on. Like wearing an oversized Aero long half belt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I’m a 44 chest, & this fits comfy with a sweater, it’s definitely 44. How can a pit to pit of 23” be 42? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Yes, the sleeves are not very long, but typical of that era. The “conservative” cuff where the suit jacket or the dress shirt cuff sticks out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Size XL (44-46 chest at least) I have to say this must be a deadstock, clean pocket, clean shell, only one small stain on the lower lining. Otherwise all good & functional. Zipper tape in excellent condition. From the late 50s. Shoulder 19” Pit to pit 23” Front length 27” Sleeves 25” Asking...

    The Shoemart is restocking the Alden 405 and alerted me that the previous "generation" is coming to an end, meaning that the cowhide color is changing. They had two pairs of the previous color left, the darkish brown, the new batch will all be in the pumpkin color (again)! However, don't fret...

    Deerskin jackets

    Always enjoy brainstorming Bowen, no worries. Chamois (how do you pronounce this word? in the French way or as is? Sham Moys? or ShaMoa? LOL). Lovely little deer! more like a goat? Anyhow, I tried leather honey on it last night the darkening was less, but could be just because the honey sits on...

    Deerskin jackets

    The darkened color does not go away, I already knew that, and the hide absorbs the liquid very fast, so i don't plan to finish the whole jacket because that's just insane, it'll drink up my full bottle of liquid. Under the collar, I already applied some last year, it dried very quickly and...

    Deerskin jackets

    Bowen This time I used Leatherique Rejuvenator. I also have Montana Pitch Blend, Prcard (it contains silica though). I need to apply everywhere to get it all colored. The pocket is even simply because I cover it all with the oil. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Deerskin jackets

    midwestern ST, red wool lining Talon zipper. Discoloration from conditioning. Maybe deerskin shouldn’t be conditioned. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Deerskin Half-Belt, Caramel color

    Revive the thread here with a question: how to condition a very soft tan deerskin? leave discoloration aside, could conditioner damage it? Are deer tanned differently? Of course, I use the best stuff with no silica. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
