    Best cross zip or double rider jacket

    I have not used that saying, but I practice it! I love things that last, and I love the concept of wabi sabi. I also love fusion, both in cuisine, and fusing cool features of different cultures. So here you have a royal British wabi sabi (lol). Regardless of motivations, it is pretty cool.

    How to style a Belstaff panther jacket

    We are big on pics around here, so if you are comfortable posting pics , do so. It is helpful. You can obscure your face if you want. Googling Belstaff Panther, I think a cool look would be an English country look. I have no idea how to accomplish it, but others might have some (maybe different)...

    Best cross zip or double rider jacket

    What is your size in C2? 36? I can be on the lookout. 90% of them are out of Japan though, through tons of arbitrage players. But they can be found stateside too.

    Show your graining

    Vanson CW is not necessarily a grain champ (the one posted above by @Rm759 excepted), but the grain on this C2 is quite nice, subtle.

    Best cross zip or double rider jacket

    Having mentioned Lost Worlds, here's an essay by the LW owner Stuart Clurman which eloquently explains the philosophy behind his work (Stu has a PhD in English Literature): "On this site we mention "collectors" from time to time, because that's where we began (ages ago). One tenet of the...

    Best cross zip or double rider jacket

    I would say a mint used Lost Worlds Trojan (or another Lost Worlds crosszip) would be your sweet spot. Lost Worlds can't be beat on build quality and quality of their horsehide. The fact that it would be used comes with a benefit of the jacket being broken in - LW can be very stiff when new. And...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I agree. It is thick, but not stiff or spongy. Just right. For the money, these older Vansons are the best deal out there. $300 (if you are patient) buys you a hide that can hardly be surpassed, and a very comfortable pattern.

    First rule of TFL is: you don't criticize Vanson.;) ...perhaps except the models wearing their jackets on the Vanson website, lol. But seriously - a nice moto jacket!

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I really like it. It is one of the thicker shearling coats I have seen.
