    Hanging jackets on a wall.

    The wall in question is made of brick, anchoring should not really be a problem. The reason i went for bars rather than single hooks for each jacket is so i can spread the load on the bar by using multiple anchor points. If the bar is 3 meter i can put an anchor every 50cm and have 7 anchor...

    Hanging jackets on a wall.

    Hi all, So, i am moving out of London, getting a new office and i want to cover a wall in leather jackets, the wall in question is 320cm wide and 320cm tall (10.5 feet). I have had a few ideas as to how to hang all that leather and this is my latest/best idea: I would hang three copper pipes...

    Found the „do it all jacket“ Lewis Leather Corsair No. 60

    In London i had a couple wardrobes but ran out of room and ended up keeping a bunch of rarely worn ones in a pile on the floor, covered by a bed sheet. I am moving out of London, and going to have more room from now on, i am going to build a jacket rack in my new office and hang 12 flat on the...

    Found the „do it all jacket“ Lewis Leather Corsair No. 60

    I'm ashamed to say there are a few new ones that need to be added to that list... There are a few reviews i still need to make and a few jackets i need to weight.

    My leather jacket database.

    No Review of the LT A yet, i thought i did it already but no... I can't really see/feel a difference in tightness between the J-23 and the LT A. To me they both feel like hey have the same amount of room when worn. I have seen people say that the J-23 is a tight jacket and needs to be ordered a...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Personally i dont see a problem with back and sleeve length, the only potential problem i see is the length at the front. As @torfjord says, higher rise trousers would put your belt higher and sort out the front issue.

    FS: Vanson x Left Field Commando Jacket Large

    He must be a troubled individual! Who would do such a thing, and why?

    Does it make sense to have leather jacket sized altered rather then sell and reorder.

    Johnny wore a Durable, not a Schott... I think that whatever you do you won't recoup the money you have spent, i have had a Schott adjusted and i was still not sattisfied with the fit, in retrospect i should just not have bought that jacket, i should have bought a jacket that fit. Now i have an...

    Bad experience with Lost Worlds

    The jacket posted clearly shouldn't have been shipped, i am not arguing that, but T&C clearly state: F) RETURNS/EXCHANGES SHIPPING COSTS: Customer pays all Shipping Charges. As much as i feel sorry for Monitor, you can't refuse to follow the rules and then get angry when you don't get what...

    That's what LW did, and Monitor only paid 30$ tax...

    Bad experience with Lost Worlds

    In this case customs was $30, so sending it back would cost an extra 150$ max. IMO the correct thing to do would have been to send it back and give Stuart a chance to make things right. I just had a problem with my LW CHP not fitting, i sent it back and i had a replacement that fit great in...

    Ladies Perfecto style jackets? Anyone?

    That's a better/more flattering fit than most A2s i have seen worn by men on the forum. That really works well. Well done both of you.

    Brooks, oxidation of the collar buttons, how I can solve?

    I have had similar green goop appear on the brass parts of my Himel Chevalier. All i did was scrape it off gently with a wooden kebab skewer, the green actually flakes off pretty easily, the point of the skewer allows you to really get close to the edge of the brass. I would be very VERY careful...

    New! ELMC Jacket Highway Star®️ Horsehide

    All the Shinki i have has a pigment finish and doesn't feel oily. Honestly there is nothing in common between my 5 Shinki jackets, they all have different thicknesses and different grain characteristics, if i didn't know they came from the same tannery i would be unable to say so. They look...

    New! ELMC Jacket Highway Star®️ Horsehide

    I had the same experience... These tabs looked great on the first button but a mess on the second, they are really designed to be kept on button 1. When i tried it on Garry Eastman was verry insistant that they were functional and didn't see a problem with how the jacket looked when used on...
