    Hiding stitching (needle) holes in leather - can it be done?

    I wonder if this would work. Melt some pure parafin or bees wax over the entire area and rub it into the holes. Wait for it to harden then rub off the excess. Might be worth a try.

    Filson coats - anyone?

    I've been following this thread with interest. I have a few Filson jackets and a vest which I love. Lately, this Jac-Shirt has caught my eye: https://www.filson.com/mackinaw-jac-shirt-11010788.html#sku=11010788-fco-007524806 What do you all think of it? Aside from the lack of lower pockets...

    Schott Horsehide 689H for riding?

    This jacket is essentially identical to my Vanson Enfield, with zipped pockets and quilted lining. Love the Enfield and it's probably cooler than the Schott without the insulated lining. It's definitely tough leather as it saved my skin during an "unscheduled get off" if you know what I mean...

    One Tier Above Carhartt Jackets?

    I've got lots of Filson. The one Filson jacket I had that's comparable to the Carhartt Detroit, which I just purchased, had the tiniest openings around the wrist. I couldn't comfortably snap them closed to keep the wind out. Sold it. For $79, the Carhartt ticks all the right boxes. It fits...

    One Tier Above Carhartt Jackets?

    Currently looking to get a general purpose do everything, I don't care if it gets beat up winter jacket. The Carhart Detroit blanklet lined Sandstone jacket is at the top of the list. Anything else I should consider of equal or slightly better quality that doesn't cost too much more? Thanks all.

    What is the best way to store leather jackets?

    Balled up in a pile on the floor of your closet. Seriously, you're overthinking this. These are leather jackets, not precious furs. Whatever you do, don't put them in plastic bags or sealed up boxes. They need to breath. Just throwing them on the floor is perfect. Sheesh!

    Filson Leather Cruiser

    That is nice. But naked leather wouldn't be my first choice for an all weather jacket.

    Best black biker for non-biker?

    I can solidly recommend the Vanson Enfield. I'm a 40 and I bought a 38. It fits like a second skin. However, I wear it on the bike and I wanted it to fit snugly. If you're not riding, just buy your correct size. It's gorgeous, thick as hell, simply styled to go with everything and just begs...

    Filson Tin Cloth Packer Coat

    You know this coat. Built like a brick s*#thouse and looks awesome! Just have too many other coats to keep this one. It's in like new condition but looks nice and broken in. Probably only has another 50 or 60 years of wear left in it! No holes, wear marks, odors, loose threads, stains, nothing...

    Tartan lining service life?

    When you eventually do get it relined, ask to have a strip of corduroy sewn into the waist area like I did. It wears much longer than the wool tartan fabric.

    Zipper Replacement Already?

    My Aero Highwayman is only about 4 years old. Yesterday, after getting up from sitting I noticed that the jacket had unzipped from the bottom. So I forced the pull down to open it up and rezipped it. It took only a tiny bit of tugging on the bottom two sides to separate it again and again. I...

    Quality, leather briefcases & luggage

    This is what I carry. https://www.satchel-page.com/products/mailbag I originally tried a Saddleback Leather bag. And while built extremely well and deserving of the 100 year warranty, I totally agree with Seb. Way overbuilt, thick, unyielding, heavy, and too many unnecessary complications to be...

    Searching for the Perfect winter coat

    Look for an original Peacoat. Member "Peacoat" put out a series of info posts on vintage peacoats (they're stickies I believe) They have superior wool to most of what you find today. Plus, they're just the right mix of refined and casual to wear pretty much anywhere. Finally, most are...
