For anyone familiar with the LL Bean civilian bomber jackets, I've seen tags of theirs that have a lining of "Shearling Lambskin" or "Wool Pile" but haven't seen one with "100% Wool Shearling" before. I'm 90% sure that means the lining is wool pile but could anyone confirm? I usually associate...
My 2 cents: I know it was mentioned earlier but imo I usually opt for an N-1 if the temperature is cold enough. I have a mouton lined Dehen N-1 that has worn just fine in the single digits Fahrenheit. If you're really set on leather though, there are a couple nice leather N-1 jackets I can think...
I love the look of this but tbh I know nothing about Guideboat Co so it may not be that much of a deal at $1k

Not really a deal now but more like “Fair price” territory: Filson is doing a 30% discount on their roughout cruiser. Color looks different than last year’s and I’m surprised at some of the negative reviews though.

I bought this jacket last Fall and had some repairs/spot re-dying to the leather by Dena at Great Leather. Ultimately it had a tough time competing against my N-1 especially in wet weather so I ended up wearing it only a handful of times. The...

The Dehen N-1 is a killer jacket. With a sweater I’ve worn mine into the single digits Fahrenheit. The waxed shell has done great for me in all kinds of weather and the micro fleece in the pockets and sleeves are nice utilitarian touches. It’s one of the nicest jackets I own, leather or not, but...
To some people you'll look like The Riddler but tbh the leather looks pretty decent.

Well, that's on me for not knowing but even so I don't think it's for me. The usual horizontal line across the shoulders makes them look broader, whereas I feel like this just draws your eyes to the back of their neck?
I really like the idea of the jacket and think goatskin is a great match for the style but why wouldn't they show us at least one picture in color. I don't even know what color the buttons are. I don't love the upside down v-shaped yoke either.
I'm looking for a Vanson Cheyenne (their Lee 101-J style) in a size 38 in brown or a similar color. Ideally in smooth leather, not suede. I know these come up occasionally on buyee but they're always the wrong size, cut, etc. for me. I love the 101-J style and Vanson did these as well as...
Hopefully I’m not breaking the rules by saying this, but regardless of the country it’s made in or the actual working conditions, it does leave a bad taste in mouth when a company co-opts unions for branding purposes as if unions are a fanciful notion from the 1950’s. That’s immaterial to their...
