    Aero side adjuster strap wear

    I just noticed this on my Bootlegger: On one side, there's a notch eaten out of the strap, and on the other side, it looks like the strap was cut short, at an angle, and the stitching has begun to fray. I don't plan on doing anything about it unless it gets worse, but I'm wondering if this...

    Thedi

    Does anyone in the US import Thedi apart from Thurston Bros? I am curious about their jackets. For some reason Thurston only seem to carry Thedi's cafe models, and not their more interesting (to me) styles such as:

    It finally got cold enough for my N3B to make sense

    It works great for snow shoveling/blowing. The hood, zipped up, really kept the wind and powder out of my face. Usually I get a lot of fine spray blowing back into my face from the snow blower, no matter which direction I aim it, it always seems to come back at me. But with the hood up, it...

    You know you have too many leather jackets when

    You can't remember how many jackets you own. You have a spreadsheet so you can keep track of them. The spreadsheet was necessary to keep you from buying duplicates of the same model. It didn't stop you from buying duplicates, but now it helps keep track of minor variations across different...

    Jacket identification?

    Watching this on eBay, but I think I'm going to pass on it. I have too many jackets as it is, several are better than this one, and I expect this will end up going for more than I'd want to pay for it. But I'm curious what it is! Can anyone identify the maker/model?

    1950's German (probably Teichert) brown leather trench coat

    Amazing, true vintage leather men's trench coat in dark brown. I believe the maker to be Teichert, a german company. The style dates to the WWII era, but whether it is pre or postwar, I cannot be certain, as the tag is missing from the inside of the jacket, but I found photos of an identical...

    Measuring leather thickness - how to do it?

    If you Google "how to measure leather thickness" you will find a lot of articles about the converting ounces to millimeters. That's not what I'm looking for. I'm trying to find out *how* the actual measurement is taken. I assume with calipers? But given that leather is somewhat compressible...

    Schott CXL 113

    So this came up in the jacket-alikes thread that I started... as has been pointed out, "someone" just got the deal of a lifetime. Well, that was me. I just picked this up on eBay for a very good price. I'm a little baffled by the auction's bid history. As of 2 days before, the price was at...

    Post your Jacket-alikes here!
