    Hermès for the lady in your life

    My wife has quite a lot of Hermès bags and accessories she's accumulated while on her journey to get the Birkin and Kelly ("journey"... ugh. Hermès' words, not mine). Some of the bags are actually "quota bags" themselves, and many of the accessories are hard to find things like popular shoes...

    Goodwear...

    So I have kept an eye on the sales page for like the last year. Sometimes I am pretty close (within an hour or two), but I never get a reply to my emails or voicemails, so I've always assumed they just went that fast. Last night, by a luck of the draw thing, (I refreshed the page a few times at...

    Comprehensive list jacket pattern terms/names?

    Hey, I haven't seen a thread like this yet... Might be helpful for some of the guys a little less knowledgeable regarding patterns. In my time here I've become familiar with construction methods, leathers, all the stuff that gets discussed a lot... But then I realized I have no idea what the...

    eBay: One jacket from Japan, multiple auctions, multiple sellers??

    Hey guys... apologies if this has already been covered, I couldn't find anything about it. Perusing various Japanese-market jackets shipping from Japan on eBay, I've noticed that many of the same jackets are featured in different auctions from different sellers. Same jackets, same photos, same...

    Clinch Engineers - 9.5-10 CN Last - Black W&C Latigo - Nearly New

    I am the second owner of these. I bought them back in 2022 from a gentleman who bought them new, didn't get the sizing right, and tried them on indoors a few times. When they arrived to me it was clear they'd never been worn. I almost got the sizing right, enough that I wore them out for one...

    NOS Real McCoy's BJ9110 J-100 (old pattern) in brown, size 40

    This one is a bit of a unicorn... an unworn and untouched old pattern (BJ9110) RMC J-100 in brown with burgundy lining. Size 40. This fits a bit slimmer than the current model (BJ19110). I can't speak to the claims that the old pattern is a "better" cut, or that it's any better made... my...

    Do Goatskin Jackets Mold to the Body like Horsehide?

    Hey guys, I recently picked up a NOS Real McCoy's New Zealand G1 in their beautiful veg-tanned goatskin. The tagged size is 46, but this particular jacket was cut closer to a 44. I am usually a 42/40, but can get away with a larger size in a G1. While the shoulders and chest sizing is perfect...

    Chance to buy a Toys McCoy Easy Rider in Horsehide?

    I have a chance to buy a Toys McCoy Easy Rider in horsehide for $500-$600. Jacket is in perfect shape. I dunno how accurate the pattern is bc I don't know the jacket, but it's a three piece back with gussets, one piece sleeves. No gussets on the sleeve zips. Leather vertical stripes on the...

    This is the first of a bunch of jackets I will be liquidating. The Real McCoy's Buco J-100, size 42, 19110, from the latest batch RMC released. This jacket is brand new and unworn. It was tried on, I immediately preferred the fit of the size 40, and this was photographed and put back in the...

    Real McCoy's unlined J-100 (BJ19001) experiences?

    Anyone have any experience with this jacket? Wondering about four things... 1. The measurements are different than both the current lined version, the BJ19110, and the older lined version, the BJ9110. Does the unlined version fit more like the 19110 or the 9110? Or somewhere in between the two...

    AUTHENTICITY CHECK... Real McCoy's J-100

    Hoping I could borrow the forum's expertise here... Does anything about this jacket read wrong to you Lords of Leather? Stitching, materials, label? Or does it look good? Just bought this, these are seller pics. It's described as new without tags. I've seen similar brown versions before, they...

    Real Mccoys Buco BJ21002 Style King… Patina experiences?

    Does anybody here have one? I like everything about this jacket… up to and including the embossed pattern on the horse hide. However questions about how that embossing will age is what’s keeping me from pulling the trigger. Can anybody tell me what to expect with regards to wear and patina...

    Should this have been caught by John Lofgren QC?

    Just took delivery of a pair of Lofgren M43 Service Shoes 10th Anniversary in Italian veg-tan horsehide. Bought through an authorized dealer, per the Lofgren website. The boots are beautiful, but there is a section of leather on the left boot’s inner heel area that looks a little weird to me...
