    Anyone know what buyee charges for cost of shipping a leather jacket out to the us?

    It depends on what service you use and what's available at the time. I just shipped one for about $76, but when the cheaper methods are available it can be more like $40.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    The second one, militaryuniformsupply.com is a TW Kempton sweater identical to that sold by outdoorknitwear.com so from that standpoint it's a matter of cost.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    This is a rather interesting looking jacket. 1930s styling but I wonder if it wasn't made for the 1989 Batman film, in a style paying homage to the era when Batman was first created. The YKK sleeve and pocket zips aren't 30s vintage, either they are replacements or the entire jacket is 80s built...

    Sizing help for Aero Pilot Jackets

    If you aren't sure if you're done growing, maybe now isn't the time to buy a jacket Y could hand down to your grandkids. If you do buy it now, don't worry about outgrowing it. Just get the right size for now, and adjust later. I would recommend getting a used jacket by a mid tier maker and...

    Does this jacket detail bother anyone else?

    It should attach to the back panel or else be a full (detachable) belt. Engineering fail.

    Goat or cowhide for winter?

    Leather will block wind and rain (if properly treated) but has little to no insulating value. What you wear under the shell is what will determine how warm you feel in cold weather.

    Refund on import duties - Sweden to UK. Advice needed.

    Buy them separately, if they are under $800 you're not liable for the import duty. Edit: Sorry, I read this at first as you are in the US, not the UK. I don't know what the rules are for the UK.

    2023 Schott x Horween collab P677

    I don't think it's "Natural". Schott site calls it "Tan".

    Legendary USA Black Stallion is Back

    Beck back in the day was bought by Schott. This is NOT made by Schott, as Legendary is no longer an authorized seller of Schott jackets... probably because they went with a different company to produce the latest run of the Black Stallion. The Beck 666 jacket didn't have a center seam down the...

    Natal Leather

    A few weeks ago, I found a US Made Middleton Mass jacket in my size, 44. A cross-zip with side laces, epaulets, zip-out lining, inside pocket, long kidney panel with action back. No belt, no coin pocket, no breast pocket. It was sold on ebay by the Salvation Army, and had an opening bid of...

    Dented CXL and P613S Patina/Break-In Update

    Get a shovel full of pea gravel and spread it out over a cement floor, sidewalk, or your driveway. Soak the jacket again, and then lay down on the pea gravel. This will be uncomfortable, but you're a tough leather jacket wearer, so not really a problem. Do this for as long as you can stand...

    Tall knee high boots for men?

    It's something you would consider costume wear if you're not a horseman or riding a motorcycle or maybe a nazi officer's uniform. I have a pair of 14" Frye Campus boots, which don't go quite to the knee, but maybe a couple inches below, which is plenty for me. They don't get worn a whole lot.

    New design from Aero: Vincent motorcycle jacket

    Named after the classic British maker, Vincent, of the Black Shadow and Black Lightning fame, no doubt. It's a slim-fitting D-pocket... Aero told me that it's the same pattern as the D-pocket Ridley jacket, so I guess it's not really new? I guess they just renamed the model, maybe they tweaked...

    Legendary USA Black Stallion is Back

    This was sold as a limited special edition run for the model. It could be that they are testing the waters to bring it back as a regular run. But that's not how they marketed it. Customers are not guinea pigs. It's a special edition limited run of 100. Quality expectations should be very...

    Had not heard of Art's or MC Leathers or Arizona before this. Thanks for adding to the mystery.

    Aero has a new leather called Pinnacle

    Digital camera sensors are usually especially sensitive to red, leading to it appearing more vibrant/saturated than in real life.

    Aero Board Racer CXL FQHH Horween Chromexcel horsehide leather motorcycle jacket | Size 44 (runs small) | USD$700

    I don't recall it being that narrow in the chest when I owned it. I think something is off with the photo. I can't remember but it was probably more like 22-23" p2p. It's a tight fit for a 42 (it's tagged 44), and when I sold it I was too fat for it. The board racer has narrow shoulders. The...
