As some might know, @Carlos840 got a Freewheelers San Mateo jacket that did not quite fit him correctly. This is a model from Freewheelers that I did not love at first, sort of like the Mullholland. In fact, I know there is a comment I made on this very forum a few years back saying that this...
I had a couple of questions about some military jackets and I figured I would put them in one thread instead of starting two at the same time.
As some of you know, I am currently having the sleeves on two of my jackets shortened by Dave Sheeley. As I do I searched around for his work before and...
As many of you know, I weightlifted myself out of my oldest two jackets - my RMC A2 and my Himel Grizzly. My Aero A1 did not work out either due to the cut not working out for me and the fact that while I am gaining muscle, I have also been losing weight at the same time. I'm already down two...
Selling both of these jackets due to fit issues. I have weightlifted myself out of the Himel now unfortunately as I did with my RMC A2 and I simply am not happy with the fit on the Aero. The Aero has only been worn to take pictures and still has the tag on it. It is essentially brand new. The...
As many of you know, I weightlifted myself out of my old RMC A2 which was my longest lived leather jacket. Fortunately, it went to a friend who is extremely happy with it. This also left me enough money to get a replacement for it and my girl and I both agreed that an A1 would look even better...
...or at least help me choose. I have sold a few more items recently and am very likely going to be grabbing one of these two jackets as both are available in my size, but this is the most torn I have been in a while. Money allowing, I'd have both, but that is not an option.
I already have a...
Well, this is a very happy day for me. There were always three Freewheelers jackets that I really wanted - The Caboose, The Sunset, and The Mulholland. I also wanted a Brakeman for a while, but trying one on in 2017 made me realize that it wasn't for me.
I know have all three of those...
After my Caboose quickly became my favorite and most worn jacket last year, I began craving another Freewheelers jacket. The fact that my Himel cossack has to be sold due to being too large only expedited this process. While the Caboose was the first Freewheelers jacket I fell in love with, the...
Selling my Himel Bros. Campus/Cossack Jacket – custom makeup that is not on the website. Only being sold because I lost weight and now it is too large for me. Worn by myself, but in beautiful condition. There is a little bit of creasing on the arms, but otherwise it looks quite new. I am asking...
I was able to do an interview with Ken from Aero after he responded to an article I wrote. I'm not sure how much of this information is new to anyone here, but maybe you guys will find this interesting.

After wanting a Freewheelers jacket for several years, @Carlos840 and his stunning La Brea pushed me over the edge. I sold my watch and used the funds to buy this little number. As with many of my Freewheelers purchases, I bought from Genco Clothing in Japan and the transaction was very smooth...
I am having to sell my beloved Clinch engineer boots by Brass Tokyo because they are too small for me. They are a Clinch size 11 which should fit a US 10 or 9.5 well. I am a 10.5 on a Brannock and they are slightly too small for me so they have to go. Clinch makes, in my opinion, the best...
I got my latest Himel jacket recently. Because I do a blog now I wrote a full review for it that will likely be posted next month. Obviously, it is not written for this audience here in mind, but I thought I would share it anyway in case anyone was interested. If not, feel free to skip over it...
I wonder who it could be... ;)
Here are the pics so people don't have to scroll all the way to page 3.
The first one I did manage to smile in :D
It fits perfectly as expected. I still cannot get over how lucky I was.
I thought it would be years before I got a JC masterpiece, but this...
I've actually wanted to make this thread for a while thanks to being inspired by @Superfluous's thread about other jackets and more specifically, by the jacket that is so obviously my pick (and many other people's as well).
@A-1 has the best jacket on the forum by far IMO. I'm not a huge DD...
Some of you know that I went to my first Inspiration this year with my fiance. It was a blast and we are definitely going to spend more time there next year. However, my real reason for attending was to meet the great David Himel and try on some of his incredible jackets. The Frobisher...
I just got my new jacket yesterday and I am WAY too excited. Please excuse the essay below. If you want to read it, good luck :D
My first foray into leather jackets was in around 2009 when I went to Hollister and saw what I thought at the time was a really nice fake leather bomber jacket. Sure...
Unfortunately, I have to put this up to sale in order to afford something that I REALLY want. The jacket is amazing and in really great condition. The dark color has rubbed off in some places along the jacket ( I think it actually looks better for this). The knits are perfect except for one...
up for sale is my beautiful Diamond Dave J-100 in seal brown shinki horsehide. It is in used, but excellent condition. It has been worn, but there are no issues or actual flaws. The hide is absolutely gorgeous and is just starting to break in.
Measurements are:
pit to pit: 21.5 inches...
