    Can someone please help me find this type of leather jacket?

    Shoulder seam a good 4 inches down the arm... Chest size gives a good 14 inches of ease at least... Massive batwing effect as a result... Sleeves down to the fingertips.

    Custom Made Leather Jacket

    I'll be curious to see how it turns out. I hope you end up with a good jacket that you're satisfied with. Good luck.

    How is he going to get his pattern? Just eyeballing a photo is very unlikely to produce a satisfying result.

    Fashion brands leather jackets: Is it worth the price tag?

    This Amiri jacket, for example, looks almost exactly like a Schott Perfecto. Other than the extra zippered pocket next to the wearer's left handwarmer, that is. You can get a Schott for under $1000, and a good used Schott for between $200-400. The Amiri used calfskin, which is thinner and less...

    Fashion brands leather jackets: Is it worth the price tag?

    Very generally speaking, there's a diminishing return on value for dollar after a certain point. Where exactly that point is reached is a matter of opinion. When it comes to fashion brands unless the brand is known to be primarily or exclusively doing leather, I don't generally pay enough...

    FS: RARE! JOHNSON LEATHERS BLK Horsehide Padded Cafe Racer style M/C jacket sz 42

    Looks different from most Horween CXL I've seen... it looks rather more like Langlitz's cowhide. And way more grain than I'd expect from an unused jacket. It looks rather broken in! Either way, it looks fantastic. GLWS.

    Horse hide leather rookie

    "better" always needs to be understood in context, "in terms of what". Horsehide is very durable, with better resistance to abrasion than cowhide of the same thickness. It tends to have tighter grain, and tends to be stiffer, and thus take longer to break in. Once broken in it is very soft...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    LL Bean has a civilian take on the wooly pully in merino wool. I have two, they're really good sweaters, and really cheap for merino wool. https://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/43324?page=commando-sweater-crewneck They also have it in a henley style, which is what I have...

    Horse hide leather rookie

    Horsehide is much like any other leather in terms of how you care for it. It has somewhat different characteristics that make it unique, but the care and upkeep is much like any other leather. Leather is pretty tough stuff, and so care and upkeep should be fairly minimal. If it gets dirt on...

    Distressed leather

    People are never satisfied with what they have, and have to mess with it. It ain't broke. Don't try to fix it. If you really want to do something, roll around in some dirt, and wipe it off.

    Who's a size 74? Andre the Giant has been dead for almost 30 years.

    Distressed leather

    How often do you wear it? Occasionally, or nearly every day? What type of leather is it? Cowhide? Goat? Chrome tanned?

    Distressed leather

    Just wear it. Usually shiny leather will naturally lose some of its luster after you've knocked the new out of it. Resist temptation to accelerate the process. If you want to accelerate it, wear it more.

    Safer Dealing

    Further thoughts... Sellers often list their items on ebay (or sites like Grailed, etc.) in addition to posting about them here. If you trust the seller, you may arrange to buy from them outside of these services, in order to avoid the fees associated with those services. Doing so puts more...
