    Peter Dobbs Leathers

    Little update, now that the jacket is washed and has dried out, today it got a treatment of my conditioner-of-choice, Renapur. I'm even pleaseder with the results. Over a hoodie in these last two.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Mine's an 03, 790 carbed. I've never left it this long without firing it up, so fingers crossed it's straightforward. Can't wait though.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thruxton? I can't wait to get back out. Every time I go out to the garage to get a beer from the fridge, I find I run my hand across the seat on my Bonneville and wryly look out at the sky. Come on, weather!

    Peter Dobbs Leathers

    The sun's been shining furiously today so because it would have chance to air dry I put this jacket through the wash to see what would happen. That's always the first stage with trying to turn something into something. It turned out pretty well and seems to have properly sorted out the fit. A...

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

    But why on earth also have the bottom of the press stud there on the shoulder where the epaulette no longer attaches? That's not going to "age beautifully". That's just mental.

    Schott 530 sizing good or bad?

    I agree with pretty much everything @Observe said.

    Green Leather Jackets

    I was lucky enough to see both of those green shades in person at their shop. The olive was much nicer.

    Peter Dobbs Leathers

    A couple of quick horrible phone pictures, for fit. It occurred to me that rather than tinkering with modifications to the jacket for armour etc, I'd just see if it would fit over the top of my Knox armoured base layer. It does, but it's snug. That's the picture with the thumb loops...

    Peter Dobbs Leathers

    I've been in touch with the daughter of the man who made these leathers, Peter Dobbs. She has confirmed the date as early 80s, post 1982 as that's when the logo badging was introduced. They are apparently a bespoke* set due to the colour, which makes them unique. Once they're cleaned up and...

    Peter Dobbs Leathers

    I just picked this up off eBay and know very little about it. I mean, I know I liked it, but beyond that next to nothing. British made motorcycle jacket, which astonishingly came together with trousers to make a full motorcycle suit. Listed as Peter Dobbs Leathers, and clearly the badging says...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Well. This has arrived. I literally opened the box 5 minutes ago and I can tell you that the jacket seems to fit. It's not vintage-sized too small, although the sleeves are a little slim and maaaaaybe a little short. All the zips work but the lining is filthy and ripped at the armholes, and...
