    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    Joe McCoy isn't a separate brand. It's just the label for their workwear line.

    New forum member brand (Rugged West)

    The tagging system wasn't working but it's Leilah Wilde. Four years ago she posted about looking for a company that makes a women's Perfecto that was as good as the Schott but for shorter women; I think starting a maker to get it might be on par with Red and Carlos having moose brought in for...

    New forum member brand (Rugged West)

    I'm not sure if it's specifically the measurements for the trucker or sort of a guide so that leather jacket people can at a glance know which size should work.

    New forum member brand (Rugged West)

    I just saw an Instagram post about a new brand from a forum member. Seems to be built around heavyweight cowhide jackets in staple designs for men and women, at a price point that’s kind of unaddressed right now outside of fashion brands. Has anyone tried these? If the patterns are solid this...

    Aero Leather: Best Russet color

    Cognac Pinnacle might be my pick.

    Would this warrant an exchange?

    Oh yes, I get what you mean now. I thought you meant Schott site specifically. I get what you mean–I'm the same way. Yes, always worth watching the websites of Nordstrom and others who stock Schott to see which sales you can pick something up in. Likewise SSENSE had the 519 for like $500 after...

    It just seems to be some top coat fading away.

    Would this warrant an exchange?

    Both photos are really blurry so I'm not sure what I'm looking at. From the (sleeve?) end and stitch holes there seams to be a black topcoat wearing away. This isn't itself an issue but the 618 uses an all-black leather.

    Would this warrant an exchange?

    My point is just that someone is going to have to get used to creases when dealing with leathers like this and they could be avoided by changing hide. I had assumed this myself but I disagree. First off they actually don't have many sales; there's one, for Black Friday, which is a substantial...

    Toyo / Indian Motorcycle / Gold ?

    I was searching for something else when I found this and saw my reply never went through. I'd love to see this information when you get the chance. I love old catalogs.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    That was a comment about the finishing; yes it was wrong, but the person in question didn't come around to saying "but the jacket was great" as a conclusion.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I wasn't just talking about the leather itself. In their initial posts about CHL, they were marveling about how amazing the leather was. Canuck said it's the best possible leather option from there, due to the sheer density. Eventually, reality hit and they admitted to themselves the leather...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Where did I attack you personally? I think you’re putting too much weight in Tony and Canuck’s impressions of Five Star half belts. I respect them both but they had deluded themselves in those projects leading to things like the CHL leather. I think they would say so themselves. And no, the...

    branded garments orchard M/C sasquatch size giveaway

    He once left a mall jacket here that was a size 60 (though I think in width it was a bit big; I'm guessing he got it for the length).

    Would this warrant an exchange?

    I'm not taking a position on whether this is the normal grain pattern or a packing crease per se; my only point is that, whatever the cause, such creases will proliferate and if someone is bothered by them there are other options. I made reference to this being a 'leather' thing but really it's...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I wish people here would stop saying "fitment" when they mean fit, lol. Fitment means plumbing fixtures and the like, haha. Many people here do this, and it is a very bad idea. Ultimately, the same measurements across different patterns are meaningless; and when the base pattern to begin with...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Wested Indy is more of a sure thing than Five Star imo. Especially if you get the non-'Hero' models. (I love the Hero but it's a less refined pattern by design.)

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I have Tommy Ramone’s bluegrass album he made with his wife not long before he died. In the meantime I can offer his countryesque version of one of his most iconic Ramones songs. It’s a shame we never heard him sing in the band as we did the bassists and Richie.

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    A bit more Bowie, a decade later than the pic in his Aero, this time in his D-pocket which seems to be a Sears Hercules, with a bridle belt. Seems to be the same model as @JMax sold a couple of years ago on here. I noticed the red quilted lining at his wrist.

    Ralphs-Pugh Company

    Is that quilted lining cotton? The colors make me think of Madras plaid.
