    Gibson and Barnes Great Quality

    Got one of their Maricopa Patrol jackets in goat - customed it in dark brown with no epaulets. Brilliant service and a great quality jacket. It's close to a 1950's half-belt with slash pockets. Understated. Service from Jeremy was sensational. Leather is top notch. Very solid with some nice...

    Vintage style cotton hats for the tropics

    Does washing/soaking leather jackets substantially harm them or weaken the leather?

    I have washed a few of my jackets - goat and cow hide and of a good quality. Does this make them subject to cracking or does it weaken the leather?
