    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    yeah, the problem is I can buy 10 hats for the price of a jacket, so the pain is extreme on the Outerwear side of things LOL. thank you for compliment.

    What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

    Got a package from Poland today. The Sterkowski has landed. These things are amazing, and not just at that price point, they just straight out great. Peaky Blinder style newsboy. Took about two weeks from order to receiving.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Got a package of Sterkowski "Peaky Blinders" newsboy caps. So had to put one through a test run. Still breaking in the Aero Sheene. Getting some creases, able to breathe now LOL as it's loosened up a .25 inch or so, but still got a long way to go for sure. The squeeks are real.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    that goat looking good. I'm leaning more and more towards a cafe racer style with the premium goat, but I want to get more natural color. I'm going to ask for a leather sample of the semi veg tanned aniline and see how it looks. Might add some oil and/or waxes to it to see if I can replicate...

    Well...it finally happened!

    Most my life I was 175-180. Woke up one day at 210 and was like whoa. Enough. Lots of people have said it, but it's simple science/math. If you don't burn the calories you eat, you gain. If you burn more than you eat, you lose. So you either have to increase activity or decrease food...

    Schott 618hh. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

    I've got a 118, totally different leather obviously, but I love, love, love it. Sizing wise, 43 chest I went with the 40 and it's a perfect snug fit. I get just a tad pull on the biswing back in resting position, but I'd rather that then have an extra 2 inches in the chest. It got a little...

    Akubra Color Palette

    I have carbon and graphite. They are not the same. Graphite is basically black. You can maybe pick up some very very very dark grey "pencil lead" like qualities in the bright bright sun. Carbon meanwhile is a very dark grey and has a deep purplish sort of hue to it. To note, the...

    Superdry jackets???

    I know might be sacreligious for this crowd, but I have a couple of All Saints sheep/lambskin jackets. I was actually selling them, but after getting a couple low ball offers I think I'm going to keep them. For about $300, I find them really good value at that price point. And in actuality...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I vote for buttons. Along those lines, btw, someone had asked about Cossack with zipper closure. I found this on their FB page. I think I prefer buttons here as well. Loses the charm of the jacket with the zipper. Just my tastes though:

    Thoughts on my new Eastman Rough Wear B3 jacket

    ah that's great to know. Sounds like I'm going with an Aero then : ) The Schotts I'm looking at are probably 15-20 years old. There's definitely very little or any sort of top grain/pebbling/etc. left on them. Again, not saying that's bad, it just looks different.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    my jacket is almost ready. I'm asking Shawn to send me samples of the sheepskin leather when it ships. If it's pretty good, I might be the guinea pig to try the D1. Given that they can customize the measurements, I'm more confident to get a great fit and not be too baggy. I just need to...

    Thoughts on my new Eastman Rough Wear B3 jacket

    I can't tell you how many times I've gotten close to buying either a B3, B6 or D1 on Ebay. But the quality of the leather always scares me off. It seems like the sheep breaks down to a suede basically. Nothing wrong with that, but I'm guessing it turns into a different kind of jacket than...

    Another Cafe Thread: help me make a decision!

    yeah, the problem is going with 44 would have been way too big in waist and hip. 40 was what was recommended when I plugged in the numbers and wanted slim fit. The 141 runs big. Although I was a few pounds lighter back then. It wasn't so much that the leather wasn't settling, there just...

    Another Cafe Thread: help me make a decision!

    In a few hours, I'm doing a post about my 141. I have a love hate with it. For perspective, I'm 6'0 185, 43 chest, broader shoulders. 19 shoulder, 23.25 pit to pit and 26.25 back is probably my perfect jacket size if I'm going for more second skin kind of thing. I've got a size 40 141. The...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    thanks so much for the shots. Yeah, mine is similar but a little bit more "clunky". Kind of gathers a lot of material under and behind the arm pit. I actually just took the jacket to a tailor and what we're going to do is sew down the lower part of the biswing back, basically tacking it down...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    damn, that's tight. Can't wait to see what the true color is. It's like from black to brown in those pics. I remember the one you based it on was more of distressed, antique shiny brown kind of thing, no? But they nailed the pattern.

    Akubra Color Palette

    so crazy, was just wondering about this today. Was thinking about ordering the taupe fawn, but was wondering how different it is to tawny fawn? I have regency and tawny and there's a few shades difference. So was hoping it will be somewhere in the middle. I also have acorn. And there's...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    yeah, that's the same issue I'm having. The front looks killer. Could use a tiny tuck in the upper waist/lower lat area. But the sides are a mess. Between the gusset, the biswing back, the pull from the straps. I wonder if I could have a tailor get rid of the biswing and just taper the...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    how long you have the 141? I have love hate relationship with mine. Don't think it's broken in yet, especially on the sides with the gussets, biswing, straps, etc. So it's a little bulky on mine. Definitely see improvement from when I first bought it though. But yours looks pretty clean...
