    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks. I’ve gotten a lot of good feedback on this one. When i bought it there was a little swi (surfing while intox). I bought two other jackets and boots this week. Therefore this one is on the way to tfl’s @Will Zach. However, all of the nice comments do give me a bit of sellers remorse.

    Should this have been caught by John Lofgren QC?

    Not the best. Fwiw VERY few brands put out a perfect product. If you spend a moment on wrist watch forums you’ll quickly find people pointing out imperfections in new $10,000 Rolexes. While i agree it’s frustrating try and think about the point that after 6 months of wear there is going to be so...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Anyone guess at the year? EDIT oh yeah, i forgot about google. Looks like 1950s. Happy to learn it’s from Chicago. Maybe I should reach out to this outfit https://wooden-sleepers.com/products/vintage-1950s-grais-steerhide-leather-jacket-size-medium?variant=31544790777926

    I think it fits well. Too much overlap in the xzip dept?

    What are the makers that DO NOT 'skiv their leather or use glue'?

    Really? Surely there are a few pics in the what jacket are you wearing today thread. Here’s my 30’s 1/2 belt....which is in the thread.

    Those are so nice and easy to wear. I’ve found they make me question my commitment to leather jackets.

    Double Helix Works?

    N Not to beat a horse, but for the sake of discourse: Two months ago i took delivery of a pair of White’s boots. I liked the last so much I purchased another pair in a different model. Total cost approx $1,300. Their QC is let’s say decent. On both there are a few inconsistencies in welt...

    Double Helix Works?

    I simply meant that given that they fall below the level of quality they have priced themselves accordingly. Beyond that, and this is just me, there is no such thing as an itch that can only be scratched one way. There are several instances where i’d rather have 2 really good jackets than one...

    Double Helix Works?

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I actually sent a pair of Whites back last month. Welt was trimmed very poorly. Those were “only” $650 so i guess to my previous post, 150.. maybe $200 is the cutoff

    Should this have been caught by John Lofgren QC?

    I had a pair of lofgren engineers where after a few weeks the right boot had no graining and the left had very loose graining on the vamp. Exclusively cosmetic but for $900. I contacted the point of purchase. They thought it looked off. They sent photos to Jon who said “i wouldn’t pay $1,000...
