    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Couldn't be a more perfect image. Makes me want to buy you both a coffee. Let me know when you're in NY.

    I'm not talking about changing from one size to another. I'm talking about returning to your natural trim self, then feeling good about it, then wanting to accessorize your look in a big way with an expensive pastime collecting quality leather!

    Is acrylic topcoat necessary on newly dyed leather?

    Panda that's like a whole tutorial worth of info. Thanks! Helpful. One note is that I've already done this once, with the same model jacket off the same production line. Stripped it well using alcohol. The result is beautiful, but then I used resolene - so there's the question. This time I think...

    Is acrylic topcoat necessary on newly dyed leather?

    "Thank you for contacting Fiebing. Leather that is used to make clothing is chrome tanned and colored in a tannery. The process is very different than using dye on natural leather.'" Is it all chrome-tanned? I don't care WHERE it's colored. And you're telling me "the process is different"... ...

    What happened to the joke forum?

    Yes. I didn't say she's dumb, I said it's too easy to suggest she's not bright. Low hanging fruit and such.

    What happened to the joke forum?

    To be honest, it may be that she's never even glanced in the direction of that license plate. (And it's too easy to suggest she couldn't translate it if she did read it.)

    Stop it right now. You made me laugh out loud in the office.

    Wise words to live by (jacket related)

    Wear it like nobody's business.

    Is acrylic topcoat necessary on newly dyed leather?

    Oh and I sent my questions to both Fiebing's and Angelus. Will report back on that if I get any answers.

    Thanks HM, that's just the sort of info I'm after.

    Is acrylic topcoat necessary on newly dyed leather?

    Questions: 1. All these prime jacket makers, all these premium leather options - Are any of these leathers coated with any sort of clear topcoat? 2. Why isn't bleeding/rubbing off a problem with these premium leathers? Is it baked in or something? (Someone is going to share how their one jacket...

    No more Schott forum

    I like Aloysius' suggestion earlier. Everyone who cares about what's right could suggest this to them. Allow us access to forum archives. It's a nearly endless treasure of Schott information. I did this earlier today. Visited their site, used their chat feature and made the suggestion. I search...

    Is acrylic topcoat necessary on newly dyed leather?

    I see. Makes sense. Well it's thin 50 year old leather. Hmmm.

    Is acrylic topcoat necessary on newly dyed leather?

    Is this the right place for this? Some time ago I stripped and re-dyed a vintage leather jacket. This was before I knew anything about leather, and I used Fiebing's resolene to finish because that's what "they" say to do. I don't like the glossy result, but I've discovered Angelus has flat and...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Dude that's so far out rockstar. So Bon Jovi. When I was just a teenager I was in the mall, in a Wilson's, early 1980s, and they had a black suede jacket on the rack covered in fringe. I put it on and glanced in the mirror and almost fell over. That was WAY, WAY too cool. LOL.

    No more Schott forum

    For a couple days I've been trying to find a bit of info on a couple Schott models. Links to their forum were dead - I imagined they were doing a website revamp or something, and it would come back up soon. Today I used their chat feature on their website. They told me they removed the forum due...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Hey there. New guy here. Been reading here for a while, been spending too much on leather jackets (!!) Before leather I was developing a fun collection of wristwatches. Their forum is a pretty crummy place compared to this. Really bad energy around every corner. I've found nothing but good...
