    The Legendary DURABLE (Wild One) Jacket

    Yep, both a very different collar shape and a belt with both snaps and buckle, when it's usually either or. Also I can't tell if the buckle is blacked out (not unheard of in those days) or if it's just the lighting, but either way that makes it hard to tell if it's mitred or squared. The...

    I think Schott Japan has realized that their “613US” pattern was atrocious. That’s why new stock now has the pattern of the 613S instead, except a bit shorter than its US equivalent because Japanese are shorter on average. Marc’s jacket is on the new pattern and looks great. @dudewuttheheck I...

    Isn't that jacket made of CXL?

    Altering waist in 4 oz HH jacket?

    After this picture I definitely do see what you mean a lot better and it's quite frustrating. I'd skimmed through your OP so I hadn't realized you meant the loop. This is very jarring (and less excusable than margin of error on leather panels, imo.)

    Altering waist in 4 oz HH jacket?

    Yeah I don’t really see the asymmetry in wear. Johnson or Bedo in the US could definitely do it but since he’s in Europe Aero is probably easier.

    Altering waist in 4 oz HH jacket?

    I'd imagine Aero could do the fix for you, both because of their jacket expertise and because they are used to working with heavy hides and unskived seams. That said, 2 cm feels like it's well within margin of error for such a heavy hide and it doesn't look imbalanced to me. There might also...

    The most ridiculous Himel yet? Freenote Collab Beck.

    And there is nothing wrong with that in itself; the issue comes when he presents this as somehow superior to the other makers that do the same thing.

    Legendary USA Black Stallion is Back

    If you want a lighter version of the SH leather (with the same shine), you can get that the 618HH or 641HH.

    Stores in Cali and the right brand

    If you like G-1 type jackets, you're in luck because unlike some other designs, they remain popular in the general civilian market (and are still issued by Uncle Sam) so many companies make high quality ones that will fit a variety of sizes. You can get one from a company like Cockpit or Schott...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    How did you do that? They don't reply to email. Should I call?

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Indeed, but the main issue is inconsistent color, from what I understand, so we can sidestep that somewhat with vintage black.

    Aero 1920s Work Coat Collar...

    Hm, I wear tweed jackets with greens and browns quite often, but that's a good point. I want to stick with melton for the warmth, but maybe navy would be lower contrast with the seal. On the other hand, I think the peeking lining on the work coat, as I see on yours, is less prominent than the...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    I don't think the black teacore is a bad leather, but if we could get the "vintage black" for instance that would be a unique opportunity and not cost us any more.

    It’s one of them, correct, since the show wrapped. He set it up to be a memento.

    Did the Price of Aero Jackets go Down?

    With the weak pound I'm surprised they could afford the sale (maybe it was meant as a sort of thank-you to the enthusiasts), let alone why they hadn't raised prices earlier.

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    This waxed leather could be cool, from the description. Obviously this is Engrish but gives us some idea: ""The Vintage" Horse leather featuring a vintage feel that makes use of the wildness of horse leather. After dyeing the front side of the horse leather it is finished with wax. Enjoy the...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Great idea and I have a Johnson order I was going to make soon. However, if we're going to do this, maybe we should go for one of the Shinki horsehides that is not commonly stocked by jacket makers. For instance, one of the chrome- or combination-tanned options.

    Justified FX Hat

    Allow me to counter that impression–my most worn hat is from a maker not well-loved on TFL or other forums, it's a Chelsea from Lock Hatters!
