    Battle Of The Top-Tier Engineers

    Like the thread says... Weigh in on the best-built, best-looking way for me to waste my money. Lofgren? Road Champs? Role Club? Other?

    Eat Dust x Lewis Leathers 988 Western

    Just picked this up. Very happy with it. For anyone wondering about the material (as this is not disclosed in any of the descriptions online), it is a steer hide, not the standard sheepskin LL usually uses for their suede/roughout. One could call it either a heavy midweight or a lighter...

    Cone Mills selvedge ID (ticking) authentication question...

    Denim experts... Should all modern (say, 2000 to 2014) Cone Mills selvedge denim Levis jeans feature identical ID ticking? Or were there variations in the width according to what year the jean was produced, which cut, wash, what Levis collection it was released under (LVC, Made & Crafted) etc...

    Help, shoeheads... work boot tiers: Wesco/Viberg/White's

    I've been looking into top-end heritage work boots (excluding the super crazy expensive/exclusive Japanese homage stuff), and if I understand things, it appears Wesco and Viberg are pretty much equal with regards to build quality and materials, while White's is equal in terms of materials, but...

    Lewis Leathers Italian Horsehide question

    Just bought a Universal Racer Mk2 constructed of what is described as “horse hide tanned in Italy”. The production card is dated May 27th, 2017. The leather is quite thin... a bit lighter-weight than Vicenza, with a more uniform finish and much smoother, smaller grain. My question is, does...

    Adding an interior pocket to a Vicenza Board Racer

    Gentlemen, My second Board Racer has arrived, and the fit is perfect (thanks very much to those of you who opined that I return the first one, I am very glad I did). The new jacket is a beautiful 4 pocket version in a particularly nice dark seal Vicenza, soft (for Vicenza), with plenty of...

    Is all Aero Vicenza leather veg-tanned?

    Gentlemen: Is all the Vicenza leather used by Aero veg-tanned? Is it a Horween product or from an Italian factory? Or is it sourced from multiple companies?.. My question arose because I’m looking through the Aero sales section, and in a few of the listings for Vicenza jackets, the leather is...

    Aero X LVC Motorcycle Jacket size 42/Large

    I just bought this vintage Aero X LVC jacket, but I’m not sure it’s me. Thinking of flipping it. This jacket is a collaboration between Aero and Levis Vintage Clothing. LVC calls it a Large, but for this style of jacket, I reckon it’s somewhere between what Aero calls a 40 and a 42... Or what...

    Narrowing the sleeves on a Johnson leather m-jean jacket

    Gentlemen: I just took delivery of a beautiful new trucker jacket in black nubuck from Johnson Leather. It’s a fantastic jacket, the quality is second to none. Every measurement fits like a glove, except for the sleeves, which I’d prefer a little trimmer. The cuffs are perfect, it’s the middle...

    Aero Trail Rider

    Gentlemen... does anyone here own a Trail Rider or have pictures of one being worn? I have been unable to find any images. Particularly interested in a pic of it being worn open. I understand it is a shorter cut than most Aero jackets. Many thanks

    Stretching Aero Leather Vicenza

    I suspect I already know the answer to this, but a jacket that’s an inch smaller in the chest, and about the same in the shoulder... This is not a situation where I can do the shower thing and expect that much stretch, right? Jacket in question is a Seven (Board Racer with a collar), and it’s...
