    Lofgren engineers natural CXL sz 9

    They’re such beautiful boots. I’m a 9.5 Brannock. These fit me pretty well.

    Lofgren engineers natural CXL sz 9

    Hey FL, Selling off my pair of Lofgren Engineers. These are a size 9. I’ve worn them less than 10 times. Small scuffs near toes but i’ve never tried brushing/buffing the leather. I’m sure since it’s CXL, most of the scuff/scratches will buff out with a good brush. Small amount of indigo...

    What’s your favorite leather for a jacket?

    Goat has a great look to it. It’s definitely on my list to try out. Very reliable, I haven’t heard of a bad goat leather yet.

    What’s your favorite leather for a jacket?

    CXL does have its uniqueness. I’ve only had one jacket that was CXL and it’s been great to me. I have boots that are CXL and they look better with every wear. Might have to try out CXL more. Maybe go for something with a bit of color. (Currently I only have a black CXL jacket)

    What’s your favorite leather for a jacket?

    OH man. Never got caught in the rain or even tried wetting my jackets. I live in an apartment building so finding a place to dry out a jacket for a few min without coming back to it being gone is almost impossible o_O.

    What’s your favorite leather for a jacket?

    100% correct on this point. Way to many leathers from many different tanneries to even keep count of. All leathers have something great and special about them, so I’m with you on that.

    What’s your favorite leather for a jacket?

    Great point on Shinki HH. I have heard about them not doing so well in the rain. Luckily I haven’t got caught out in the rain with my jacket but I would hate to find out. With that said, that one of the reason I started this post, would like to see what some of the leather you guys like. I’m all...

    What’s your favorite leather for a jacket?

    Good suggestion! I have considered Eastman for a halfbelt, They do make a really nice one. Measurements for my size don’t really work so that the only reason I haven’t tried one out yet. If size was right I would have got this one a long time ago

    What’s your favorite leather for a jacket?

    Through out the years I have tried finding local leather shops but there are very few where I live. I have mostly relied on finding/buying leather jackets online. great to hear your Vicenza Aero is your go-to. Im all for rooting for the underdog in your favorite leather list.

    What’s your favorite leather for a jacket?

    So glad you mentioned this one. Badalassi is one of those leather I’ve admired via pictures but never experienced it. The leather looks great and amazing color. Would definitely be something I would like to try out.

    What’s your favorite leather for a jacket?

    great choices you mentioned. I’ve never had a jacket in CXL. I do have experience with it in boots so I can see how they might work on a jacket even though the evo of the leather will be completely different. Monarch HH is always a good option for me, just have to be lucky to find one my size...

    What’s your favorite leather for a jacket?

    From what I’ve seen, Californian HH jackets are my ideal choice for going vintage. I seen some awesome half belts that I wouldnt mind getting. I’m a size 44-46 so it’s hard to find. Would love to try them out sometime in the future. Deer has also peeked my interest as of late. That soft feel is...

    What’s your favorite leather for a jacket?

    I completely understand. I guess the reason I didn’t go too much into specifics was because I wanted personal opinions on why one favors a specific leather. To answer your question, I’m leaning towards a 30s half belt kind of jacket. what I would look for in a leather would be a nice sheen, mid...

    What’s your favorite leather for a jacket?

    Would love to own a HH Lost Worlds jacket. Heard so much about the brand. Can never find one in my size. As soon as I do, I’ll probably try them out.

    What’s your favorite leather for a jacket?

    Great options. Own a Horween HH jacket and its great as well. Goat is a leather I’ve never held. Heard about it but never was able to find a store near me that might carry it to see how the feel is.

    What’s your favorite leather for a jacket?

    I’ve searched forum before which is how I discovered many cool brands and leathers. Thought I would get an updated opinion since favorites can always change. If you were to ask me a year ago, I would have said cowhide as my favorite since my jackets were mainly cow. Expanding into horsehide was...

    What’s your favorite leather for a jacket?

    Hi FL, Im starting to look into my next leather jacket. Was browsing around and I stopped myself to ask, “what kind of leather (and/or tannery) would I like”. Wanted to see what you guys consider your favorite and why. My current favorite is horsehide from Shinki. Everything from color to...
