    What jeans are you wearing today ?

    Don’t discount the stretch to accommodate thighs.

    Choosing the jacket

    Here’s on in leather. https://blackbearbrand.com/black-bear-brand-factory-store/brownblack-horsehide-n1-deck-jacket-made-to-order However, the way they are cut allows for layering. I fit a thin puffer jacket under and am good to 20f remember that many leathers stiffen in the cold due to the...

    Just post a generic list of all jacket makers for your answer. Everyone has their own opinion.

    Choosing the jacket

    Joking aside, it sounds like you're describing a N-1. Plenty of info on here about them. LOVE mine.

    Choosing the jacket

    Best option is don’t go leather. Warm, but not too heavy, not too stiff, but abrasion resistant could only come from one hide.

    What jeans are you wearing today ?

    I may have posted this already. Not sure. It’s denim head heresy but true. I’ve had a lot of high end denim. I’m sitting on 1/2 dozen pairs that are just a little too tight. I’m middle aged. My weight fluctuates. I like brands that add 2% stretch. Naked and Famous weird guy are a nice product at...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I can live with loose grain on the vamp (though at a certain price I shouldn’t have to) if it’s that way on both boots, but when the left and right don’t match it’s an absolute deal breaker.

    Iron Heart Japanese HH Rider (L) fits like 42

    I’ll second that emotion. The leather on those is significantly more enjoyable to wear than anything i’ve encountered.

    I agree. Overall happy with the Lofgren experience and the vendor Standard and Strange.

    My issue was with Lofgren but his response was more favorable.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I had the exact same experience with another maker. I reached out to the vendor who then reached out to the maker. The makers reply “I wouldn’t pay $1,000 for those, send them back.” While it won’t effect durability there is no way my OCD could handle that. At the price point the maker needs to...

    Eastman G-1. I’m afraid my J-24 is going to get jealous and knife it in the night. Better keep them in separate closets.

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

    Hoping the sizing works. I was in between numbers wise. 1 retailer only had the larger. The second retailer for some reason is $300 more and while they provide a nice service it ain’t $300 nice.

    WWII Tanker Jacket Questions.

    My only $.02 is that only my love of my N1 is keeping me out of the tanker jacket game.
