Congrats on the sale! This jacket looks familiar....;)
The buyer will be pleased. Ksozay did not exaggerate about how special the leather on this jacket is, even compared to the high standards of Vanson. It's an amazing hide.
That's a stunner. I haven't been keeping up with jackets and have never heard of Whitefeather but the photos tell a pretty story. The jackets looks perfect right down to the liner.
Engineers are the best looking boots ever, but I've spent tons of $$ on some of the best engineers made and I cannot find a good fit. The closest I've come are the Lofgrens, which is what i wear now, and they're not that comfortable.
I burn with envy when I read about guys walking around in...
This is a great jacket. I own and wear this model in size 40 and it's one of my favorites. Nice alternative to a type III and works with trousers and other outfits that a type III doesn't work as well with. This jacket has two very large deep interior pockets I find handy when traveling or just...

It's likely been posted earlier on this thread, but this link offers a very good history and is worth revisiting.
Engineer boots have been worn as fashion staples by non-bikers for longer than that. They were popular in large segments of American youth culture throughout the late 50s and 60s and you didn't need to ride a motorcycle. Everyone in Rebel Without a Cause (1955) is wearing them and it's not a...
Those horsehide Phigvels are incredible.
Seems many great engineer boots are tough on a guy like me with wide feet / tall arches. Clinch, Role Club. I've read the Phigvels are really close fitting as well. Nice to look at though!
I share Boyo's bias.
This is the lounge and leather is more a part of the culture here, so that's what I come here to shop for, look at, talk about. I own lots of leather jackets and wear them. But solid denim jackets, both vintage and good repros (like this IH) are more versatile jackets. I...
Welcome to the lounge. Really nice looking jacket. I love truckers in almost any material (denim, canvas, waxed cotton, leather) and find them to be hands down the most practical jackets for everyday wear on the street. This is a very wearable weight.
This is far too small for me, but out of...
Are the toes on these structured? The profile up front looks different than the flat toe version featured on heddels, although the rest of the boot looks identical.
Nice boots either way.
I remember the days when people would open a classified with current photos, measurements, a description of the item being sold, and an asking price - from the word 'Go'. The ad would remain up until the item sold, with occasional bumps and occasional price drops.
I don't recall seeing such...
I'd also like a fit pic, if you're willing (which can double to show the jacket's current broken in condition).
Also, is it black or a very dark brown?
Lovely design.
Is that really how the original Wesco boots were, with the label on the outside? If it's a matter of fidelity to one of their originals, I better understand their reasons. It just surprises me.
Of course the tag will be covered while wearing the boots. The linings of jackets aren't seen by...
I noticed the new S&S Wesco engineer in British Tan for the first time the other night. The leather looks amazing. I like most of the features, including the slightly abbreviated shaft height (10").
Yeah, the label on the outside is a real head-scratcher. I suppose Wesco is using it as a way to...
