    Fixing asymmetrical collar on Real McCoy's leather jacket

    If able… consult with the experts. I also heard DudsbyDel recommend unzipped so I’ll just leave it as that. Thanks for the input fellas.

    Fixing asymmetrical collar on Real McCoy's leather jacket

    Thanks, everyone I really appreciate the advice. The jacket is appearing to be doing better but I will also use the additional advice you guys helped me with. Canuck Panda (lol funny name) I just unsnapped that location. It does appear that button is precipitating it. Unsnapped it during...

    Fixing asymmetrical collar on Real McCoy's leather jacket

    I seem to be having a similar issue. I am new so I don’t know if this is a suitable place. If my experiment doesn’t work or if nobody replies in this thread I’ll make a new thread. I recently purchased this Moto Maryam Horshide Jacket. My first leather jacket. I attempted to reinforce the...

    FS: Role Club Engineer Black Horsehide - 9.5E

    I do l love the legendary tea core on RCs, albeit the overdye is somewhat steroid to do so quickly. It appears this model omitted the crimping toe track. I assume that’s the line down the middle. I have narrower feet at 9.5d/b, so it’s hard to gamble the purchase, when I have black Lofrgrens...

    High Rise Jeans

    I bought this alpaca cardigan off eBay (I guess the kids are chasing the Kobain look cuz it’s hype prices! ) and stretched the length as much as possible after baby shampoo wash. Does the high rise pants help pull off the cardigan as it’s now sitting somewhat below the belt? Is it tooo short? My...

    Freenote Cloth - Labour Day Sale heads up, and (long) appreciation thread.

    They posted a re release of the chinos and was looking for rust when my fav air max 90s camowebbs, similar to rhe more famous bacon 90s, was released 5 years ago. The world caught up or at least freenote but didn’t find it googling. alas I think my budget reached its limit for now. But a good...

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    are these the italian brown horsehide. I am going to purchase these expecting it to for March. However I have to deliver the final details by Nov 1st Do you guys think I should ask to remove the crimp line in the middle? I don't know what to think. Part of me wishes it was less pronounced...

    Freenote Cloth - Labour Day Sale heads up, and (long) appreciation thread.

    I can second this. I got to hang out with Andrew and Will during the Stitchdown Bootcamp. Solid people. Still new to buying and get sticker shock for damn near everything. I bought their Belford in brown, I’m 3 months in with it. Good amount of fading not as dramatic as indifgo. But whiskery...

    Wise words to live by (jacket related)

    I also have a desire to improve my physique for myself triggered by clothing. First started by losing weight for my denim. With my boots wearing out revealing supination. I want to improve my posture and gait by consciously keeping straight and landing my feet below my hips. And working out my...

    Wise words to live by (jacket related)

    spoke with a man by the name of Walker in nyc who had on display a 50 year old fyres campus boots beat up and beautiful like Norma Jean at the end of her rope. I said the only problem is not to buy everything. He said, with a positive practical coolness like Yoda after a swig of whisky. No buy...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Anybody have an experience with Cortefiel. I always enjoyed the scene in Inglorious Bastards when the Hanz guy pulled out his big old pipe from his jacket pocket, would like to do that with my Yerba Mate gourd. I took a hit on a recent purchase so trying to keep the spending minimal as I...

    Iron Heart brown horsehide riders jacket (ihj-129) fit check

    I say 40 as well. I am new to this fashion scene and also have a hard time envisioning future break in periods of leather and denim. My first jacket i bought because the fit was just right off the rack instead of meticulously researching even though it’s just a wee bit too hot for the jacket...

    Buying approach - focused or targets of opportunity

    This is getting wonderfully meta. I am currently listening to “The World as Will and Representation by Schopenhauer” Pondering the subjectivity of values and behaviors. The meanings that sheen in emotional and mental reflectivity. Money itself holding different meanings. Such as, a rock...

    Buying approach - focused or targets of opportunity

    Very true, people’s opinions are usually self perpetuated. I do have an itch to ride a motobike to overcome a fear and because of the romanticization of it all. I feel like Dr Strangelove: how to learn to stop the worrying and love the jacket

    Buying approach - focused or targets of opportunity

    Oh yes the whole methodical, intuitive, and analytical/$. I fall into the intuitive where the passion sharks swim. Majority of the time I think it over to come back later or long enough to know I don’t want it or enough to look for a used or similar alt, and have lost out on some pieces. I...

    WTB: Carhartt Detroit jacket (Vintage, USA) / probably size M

    i was sticker shocked on eBay from the prices. I guess with the hype from interstellar and influencers, and the cold season in effect it really musta raised the price.
