    Looking for Italian and Japanese Leather Jackets

    But it's not like the OP budget wouldn't allow him to buy a real jacket. I have bought Schott, Aero, Vanson and Lewis Leathers used but basically unworn on eBay for less than the OPs budget. You can find great things with lesser known names for €250 and less. It's pretty easy to find a great...

    Looking for Italian and Japanese Leather Jackets

    No, lamb leather is thin and soft, and has poor durability, i would not spend money on it. To be honest i would not really buy a jacket from any of the brands you have mentioned. Other than Legendary USA they have all been what we call "mall jackets", cheap seasonal fashion jackets made from...

    Looking for Italian and Japanese Leather Jackets

    Legendary USA has most of their jackets made by Schott, they are decent. The one you posted is lambskin, which i would stay away from.

    Stitch Fix

    I have always trimmed these kind of things and never had a problem, Just make sure you use good scissors. If it is a poly thread you can even burn the ends.

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

    This is making me want to email Stuart right now...

    Goodwear Jackets why the attraction

    I am pretty sure we already discussed this in another thread, but here it goes again: IMO once someone is lying to obtain money from someone else it is a scam, or at the very least fraud. JC is currently accepting $200 a pop for deposits and still promising people a delivery of the finished...

    Good Wear Hercules

    Definitely no joke... I have ratchets that are old enough to have worked on Ford Ts! I find the fact that i can still use something that old to work on my modern bike/car pretty incredibly satisfying. Seeing the way things evolved through the years is also very interresting, as is comparing the...

    I'm not sure the lounge is ready for my vintage ratchet/spanner collection! But i agree that a non outerwear thread could be cool...

    Goodwear Jackets why the attraction

    To me the attraction was knowledge... The reason i buy from all these different manufacturers is to see how things are made differently, to see how high craftsmanship can be pushed, when i heard that JC was "the best" i just had to get one so i could see it with my own eyes. It had nothing to do...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks, it is the LL HH, very thin and smooth but comfortable. Will post a review with better pics one of these days.

    Vanson Z150 vs. X150

    I have never handled the Z so can't comment on the differences, but my Commando is x150: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/vanson-x-left-field-commando.98275/ It would say it feels a bit thinner than Aero CXL HH, with a simila waxines and maybe a touch more of the cardboard feel.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    The Lewis Leathers Universal Racer was designed at least 20 years before the J-100, why is it not considered a "precursor of the modern cafe racer jacket"? Maybe Rin Tanaka didn't think it was cool? (did a bit more googling since i posted, the buttoned UR MkI is from around 1926, the zippered...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Be careful with this seller, he is a mentalist. Guy has been banned multiple times from eBay and etsy for abusive behaviour, he is constantly getting negative feedbacks and opening new accounts under different names. I ordered once from him, it was my worst online experience, i returned the...

    Taubers of California Horsehide Leather Shirt

    Keep an eye out on eBay for a Vanson Scout, they were made in the 90s, thick spongey black chap leather, nice pattern, can be had for cheap. Admitedly i don't wear it very often, but i am glad to have it. (althouh i woudl rather it had side zips than laces)

    Armpit issue Al/SB biker jacket

    The problem is you lifting your arms that way and expecting the jacket not to go up... If i lift my arms above my head every single jacket i own will lift to some extent, as @handymike said, it is dependent on design but IMO it is pretty much impossible to completely get rid of it. Aero's (and...

    Good Wear Hercules

    From a medical standpoint, it appears the term "fetish" should be used when linked to sexual gratification, which i hope is not something linked to collars in your case! ( I don't even want to know!) "According to the DSM-5, fetishistic disorder is characterized as a condition in which there is...

    Good Wear Hercules

    Fetish: a form of sexual desire in which gratification is linked to an abnormal degree to a particular object, item of clothing, part of the body... I don't think many of us have the sexual desire thing going on, but i am pretty sure we could be qualified as getting "abnormal" gratification...
