    Bootlegger or Sheene

The only reason I had 3 was because I thought the first one didn’t fit right. Later on I Figured out it fit perfect and should have never have sold it. The 2nd...

    Bootlegger or Sheene

    I’m guessing the quilted will lining wouldn’t work with the sheene fit very well ?

    Bootlegger or Sheene

    So keep gussets on a sheene? Delete outside kidney panel ? does the seven wear better and have more range than the sheene. I considered that one too I was leaning toward the sheens too. I don’t want to manny jackets or they will never get enough use. I have 3 right now and really just want...

    I bought this jacket brand new from BK. It is in veggie tanned goat. I have only had it maybe 2 months and have not been able to wear it because it’s been to cold. When I first got it I noticed theses tiny little tarnish white specks all over the jacket. Kind of like dandruff but I couldn’t...

    I am a new owner of a aero pre war RAF. I wanted to ask the vets of the RAFs here a question or two. How do you keep the shearling from getting all matted up and is there a way to clean it? Is it normal for the shearling around the sleeve cuffs to wear down pretty quickly ?
