    People going crazy for Leather Jackets

    Question for you eBay jacket sellers- do you use a mannequin of some sort to shoot images of your jacket? Do you think this helps to communicate better what you are offering?

    Thurston Italian Vicenza Horsehide Full Grain Veg.-Tanned Horsehide for Aero Jackets

    Hey a little self discipline here guys- this thread is about insurrection's new full grain veg tanned leather- period. It ain't about the nuances of this leather being or not being the 'best all time effin leather ever!' Such discussions have been handled elsewhere, as has been suggested.

    WOW Patina !!!! --> How can I get this look ?

    Have you seen the new Italian veg tanned dark seal leather that Carrie is getting over at Insurrection? Given the veg tanning, that is a contender for rich patina building.

    Alexander Leathers Leather?

    Seb- any chance of a pick of how your goat jacket is aging? Don't want to hijack this thread, but would love to see an example. I quite like the grain of the goat, but dislike the new look that seems to last.

    Goatskin motorcycle gloves?

    Far too many riders are willing to trade off some safety gear for looking cool. If you want to look cool, save it for walking down the street. Otherwise, yeah- you'll look cool as you're being thrown off your bike and heading for the pavement, but moments after that all that fashion panache...

    Were Belstaff jackets originally made with leather?

    You are correct about the current owners so Belstaff. However, the previous owners, who steered the line fairly successfully between their well defined motorcycle designs and their fashion line have reincarnated in their new brand- Matchless Jackets. Worth taking a gander at, but warning-...

    Custom jacket from Alexander on it's way

    Butte dude- we get it that you don't dig Alexander Leathers. But quite honestly, your constant neg vibes at anything Alexander is getting a bit lame. Not everyone sees the leather world through the same optics as you do. Much of what you contribute to this community is helpful, and I- a newbie...

    Alexander Leathers light brown kudu Dakota, size 42

    Schitzo- there are other shades of the Kudu? I must admit I have not noticed this on the AL site- am I missing something?

    Bucousa web, J-100 beaten by the california sun

    Was just on their website, and must admit I am not too impressed. Seem to be trying to make a profit on an old label. Only front and back images of the jacket are available, as you show. There are no real description of the jackets- pocket details, liner, etc. But most importantly they don't...

    To bi-swing back or not to bi-swing back?

    I am surprised at the 'puffy' comment. I own a number of bischwing jackets, and if they are properly sized and fitted- this is never a problem. On the other hand, I have noted many times an image that someone on this site has posted of their new jacket with a simple paneled back, and it appears...

    Cafe Racer vs. A-2

    I wonder if it is not the whole 'war' thing- don't most people see it through 'historic' lenses today? Your point about young men (old teenagers!) being the group that created A-2's is well taken- but I wonder if today that is lost on the majority. You, and like minded aficionados can well...

    Cafe Racer vs. A-2

    I don't really get the 'posing' comments- isn't it all relative to what, where and who you are? If you in any way hang out with military type folk, then you'll likey look out of place in a cafe racer. Where I live- slightly tougher urban area- I'd look out of place in an A-2. If you're younger...
