What are the makers that DO NOT 'skiv their leather or use glue'?
It depends how much hammering and clamping is being done. Skiving can be done manually or via a machine, I think. The aesthetics of the manufacturer presumably determine whether or not skiving is used. The Japan angle is interesting - there is a fascination with certain aspects of US...- zebedee

What are the makers that DO NOT 'skiv their leather or use glue'?
It seems simple enough - if you don't like skived leather, Aero is your choice. If skiving is your thing, other makers are available. If Ken Calder and co. don't skive leather and have a reason for that decision which they stick by and are open about, it isn't as if it's a concealed error or...- zebedee

What are the makers that DO NOT 'skiv their leather or use glue'?
Aero doesn't skive leather- the position is that you're getting less leather for your buck. Skived leather and glue can make for tighter folds and it will usually prevent the minor splitting sometimes visible at fold lines (as the hide is tamped down). Glue isn't necessarily a bad thing and...- zebedee

Has anybody seen ____ around Lately?
I think that Covid-depression has done for a lot of us. I'm lucky in that I am in Shanghai and we're relatively free of new infections but we ain't leaving the borders or seeing our families anytime soon. I want to talk about and buy jackets, but, as the man says, 'Oh, how slow the moments go'.- zebedee

Chinese leather jackets
I've lived in the Mainland or HK for almost 15 years, and you can find quality and workmanship that equals anything produced anywhere - it just depends on what you are willing to pay and how many Chinese friends in the know you have. Most things here are yearly or seasonal - clothing is quickly...- zebedee

Has to be said that temperature extremes mean that the jackets get a battering before winter, definitely during and for about a month after.- zebedee
