    Bad experience with Lost Worlds

    I really like the LW Peacoat (someone had one on here ages ago with a purple lining- amazing jacket), but that was the only design that stood out to me. I don't think it's a matter of LW being 'due' a kicking, and I am not entirely sure that people should ignore the websites, etc., and only...

    Bad experience with Lost Worlds

    It's because you're all blog queens. This wouldn't have happened if you were real men. Made of tougher stuff. Built to persevere against the tide. Knowing your own minds. Not featherweight poseurs with your biscotti, strolling along the Rialto like so many reproductions (dare we say...

    Brooks, oxidation of the collar buttons, how I can solve?

    Don't 'chemical' it - use a qtip, a nail brush and bicarbonate of soda with a bit of white vinegar to shift it. Usually, you can use dental floss to get underneath the eyelet/rivet. It doesn't harm the brass or the leather unless left for a very long time. Not a cause for over-worrying. Do...

    do your raw jeans kill your briefs boxers prematurely

    I can't imagine anything much thicker than Pike Bros denim or Carhartts - particularly not in very high humidity. The dampness and material rubbing against itself would be pretty bad for the garment and would pill the cotton on anything else really quickly. I'd either want quite light jeans or...

    do your raw jeans kill your briefs boxers prematurely

    Mate, they didn't have my size.

    do your raw jeans kill your briefs boxers prematurely

    These won't get holes in them - probably, even if some low-down banger tries to disable you with a crotch-shot, you'll be fine.

    do your raw jeans kill your briefs boxers prematurely

    Go commando. Dye your tackle indigo in six-month increments. Perhaps, on a serious note, you could invest in thicker shorts.

    How do you know when a leather collar is about to crack?

    I find that you can't get them to inhale initially.

    How do you know when a leather collar is about to crack?

    We've all just got to accept the inevitable imperfections and not.. let... them... occupy... the... waking... moments.

    How do you know when a leather collar is about to crack?

    This is too complicated for me to fully grok. I'm at a 'damp cloth and conditioner is as technical as I'm going to get' level of proficiency. Any more chemical than that and I'd get high-tech - a scarf. :)

    How do you know when a leather collar is about to crack?

    Yup, the used jacket I noticed it on was old and bought second-hand. I'm thinking that a once every 24 month quick swipe of Renapur will do it for the older Aeros.

    How do you know when a leather collar is about to crack?

    Imperial liquor. We need goat in more colours - doesn't seem to be a problem with goat leather. Cordovan or battered tan goat would be great. I ask mainly because the Highwayman collar has darkened and looks a bit scaly (tho' it is pretty much like wear on surfaces that aren't near skin at...

    Well...it finally happened!

    This is odd, but it works for me: I cut out bread and any other carb that isn't a smallish boiled potato and have that once a day. I cut desserts completely (I have one on Saturday) and I eat meat like beef or chicken which I fry (in little oil) or grill. You can boil a chicken breast and it's...

    How do you know when a leather collar is about to crack?

    Yes- not seen this on goat. This is a slightly disgusting and worthy thread. Sorry, but it's all to the good :).

    How do you know when a leather collar is about to crack?

    I've owned my Aero Highwayman for about a decade and it's been in all weathers and worn often. It's usually worn over a t-shirt or a collared shirt. Like most leather jacket collars, it shows folds. I've given the collar a thin coat of Renapur in years 6 - 10 of owning it about once a year...

    Ye Old Cotton Drill Lining Thread

    Cotton drill seems to last longer than the tartan options. I also find it preferable in warmer temperatures, too.

    Review of Simmons Bilt leather jacket

    That looks excellent! They make sturdy jackets - I had an SB in goat that was built like a tank.

    Interesting finds at the old homeplace

    It's the end of a cot, chair-leg or a coaster for something, perhaps?

    Quarantine splurge

    Excellent- this hide is looking better and better every time I see it.
