    Double rider for non-motorcyclists - yay or nay? Which is your favorite?

    Which leather did you go with? Don’t neglect Aero’s goatskin. It’s a really fantastic leather, easily the most comfortable, with a beautiful finish and great weather resistance. I wouldn’t be afraid of asking if they could do a D-pocket front on your Hooch Hauler. It shares a lot of DNA with...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    I'm going to be in the area for work so I think I might finally do a Johnson order. My thinking is the best thing would be to use a west coast design, especially one of their own. I'm thinking the WWL.

    Double rider for non-motorcyclists - yay or nay? Which is your favorite?

    Speaking of which, they didn't downsize their jackets either (as people claim they need to for a 'Ramone' fit) or have the ugly hyper-skinny arms of cross-zips that aim for a "rock and roll" look.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I know more about the South Asian garment industry than you do and have talked to these guys in their own language. Can you?

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I don't think you're that familiar with Five Star. The actual company is called Fesho Wear; they're a high quality large scale leather good manufacturer in Pakistan. They will take contracts from various companies and manufacture jackets to spec. Since they receive patterns for this purpose...

    Schott 689h sizing help?

    I'm selling a new Horween Schott, just haven't had the chance to make a post/photos yet. EDIT: Didn't realize this was OP. It would be too big for him I'd imagine.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I shouldn't be feeding the trolls but Tony isn't one of the guys who soils his pants over a cheap-looking jacket like this just because it was made in Japan and costs as much as a used car. He'll call out cheap and expensive alike. Five Star's pricing has been sale-price Schott/Vanson since...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    True, they didn't start giving exact specifications until the Cold War years, however they provided an overall template that was then developed by established pattern makers from a then thriving garment industry. No not everything was better 'back in the day', but the average pair of men's...

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    They're basically every stereotype about Instagram fashion, workwear influencers, etc turned up to 11.

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    I don't think the jacket itself looks bad at all. Standard & Strange makes even the most attractive products look terrible.

    Schott 689h sizing help?

    I don't think it dulls so much as develops a lot of character which gives it a sort of multifaceted surface.

    PSA: Bad Actors in Classifieds

    I think everyone is caught in an argument loop and that we are largely talking past each other. @blobsterroll himself is facing a situation TFL is famous for helping to handle (a vendor is or was screwing him for something that wasn’t his fault) and unless I misread, a forum member offered to...

    New forum member brand (Rugged West)

    I've come to quite like non-topstitched shoulders on certain jackets after owning some, but I agree that the men's cross-zip would suit one. That said, I think no topstitch looks better than the tiny one used on some jackets. Like this is expensive but looks cheap: A more substantial...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Just curiosity. It's interesting how different jackets look while unzipped.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Can you zip it up? That’s how the vintage looked on me and it felt unwearable. (I could get the zip to engage but didn’t feel comfortable doing up the little #5 like I do with other makers from the era.) As for me, there’s something fantastic about a curved zip I think.

    PSA: Bad Actors in Classifieds

    I mean those are mostly my posts, but I think they're being misinterpreted. I have no issue with people joining and becoming part of the community. It's a good thing, and I've encouraged many people to come over myself. There is a broader thing though where there's a difference between forum...
