    Fit check on Vanson Commando

    Fit is a personal taste and for most it varies with the style of jacket and consequently if you ask for opinions you’ll usually get nearly as many as you get answers. For me it’s simple if my wife (= style Police) says she’s not going out with me wearing it then I sell it and buy another. Mind...

    Leather Trucker Levi's / Lee / Type-whatever jackets!

    I’ll post one when it arrives as it’s still in the post and may be some time given the Postal strike. I’ve bought it as a replacement for a black Schott trucker that’s a little on the short side.

    Leather Trucker Levi's / Lee / Type-whatever jackets!

    I've just bought this Lee trucker jacket from eBay uk but I've never seen the style of tag that's Inside it. A quick Google lens came up with a Cross denim trucker with the similar label supposedly dating to the 1990's. Does anyone here know who Cross were/are and the age of the Lee trucker...

    WTB mouton type snap on police jacket collar

    True but the point I was making (for anyone thinking about tackling the task) was that if one can learn the complex procedures involved in saddle stitching, (it involves grooving pricking clamping and sewing with two needles - info for the uninitiated) then a simple running stitch or better...

    WTB mouton type snap on police jacket collar

    if you can sew knife sheaths the above is a piece of cake -you might not need the Velcro tags. I made it for a Schott d pocket when I found out they wanted $140 for their faux mouton version.

    WTB mouton type snap on police jacket collar

    You can buy most sizes and types of snaps on eBay. The sellers also sell the tools you need to fix them and YouTube will provide videos of how to. The mouton collars on Schott leather jackets and others I’ve seen are made of a piece of leather and a piece of mouton the same shape but slightly...

    WTB mouton type snap on police jacket collar

    If you’re skillful enough to modify one then why not just make one? Get hold of some black mouton, a piece of black leather, some snaps that fit those on your Police jacket and you’ll have a tailor made fit rather than a near fit job. ps advice is for taking or leaving up to you.

    Aero zip sleeved Café Racer with their Thunder Bay label which I understand was/is used to signify a modified design. It’s beautifully broken in and very comfortable.

    Cleaning a goat-skin leather jacket?

    If it’s that bad then you’ll have to brush it with a soft wet brush to soften the mud and remove most of it and then wipe off the remaining smears of mud with a damp cloth or kitchen roll - absorbent paper.
