    Another new Schott. Vandals 568vn distressed

    I agree. The jacket is substantial for someone who's coming from lamb/goat and other lighter caliber pieces. If they make a regular version with HH with the same pattern, I will undoubtedly buy one.

    Another new Schott. Vandals 568vn distressed

    Personally, 613SH is the only Schott that I like. The new shinki fits very similar to the vandals but I have a thing for the D pocket so it's not compelling enough for me.

    Another new Schott. Vandals 568vn distressed

    I too like the pattern of the jacket a lot and it actually fits me perfectly. But ultimately I can't get pass the light weight tumbled pre-broken in leather (the regular vandals). It's too soft and drapey and it doesn't have much structural silhouette that I prefer. It would have been a...

    Vanson Harley Cycle King Review & Question

    The leather of my CK feels very similar to CW of Vanson C2, except that the CK appears to have a bit more waxy sheen to it. I think the CK is one gorgeous jacket!

    Double Helix Western Cowboy Indigo Type 1 broken in white core photos

    Hi all I am interested in the Double Helix Type 1 indigo horse jacket but I would like to see what it might look like once it's broken in in particular with the white core showing. The photos on Double Helix Works website only shows a close up of the elbow area and I am hoping to see the...

    WTB Y'2 HR-55 size 38

    Based on my experience, Vanson tends to run a bit roomier with a bit more chest ease (e.g. C2) A size 38 Y'2 HR-55 would likely not fit like a Vanson C2 in size 38. I wear Vanson Cycle King size S which is more like the size 36 C2 except that the C2 is slightly shorter and has a bit more taper...

    Red Wing 2990 Engineers size 8.5D / Red Wing Loggers 4585 size 9D

    Might be interested in the 2990. What's your regular sneakers size? Better yet, what's the measurement of your foot (length and width - drawn on a piece of paper method)? Thanks

    Price difference in Japan?

    Has anyone ordered anything from celluloid1984 based on Hiroshima? If so, how was the experience? Also, what is the best way to calculate the exact custom duties? @long218 Can you please elaborate on this? Is that for the US? My understanding is that it's only up to US$800 duty free...

    How to figure out how much to shorten sleeves on leather jacket

    Good point! Sounds like the first course of action is to break it in!

    How to figure out how much to shorten sleeves on leather jacket

    Thanks for the warning and I am also aware of those issues that you mentioned. But if I were to proceed with the shortening, I would do it with Schott and Vanson and they confirmed that they would remove the zippers, shorten the sleeves properly and reinstall the zipper. In other words, it...

    How to figure out how much to shorten sleeves on leather jacket

    Good observation. You are exactly right, the zipped up sleeves being too long push up the whole sleeve which in turn push up the shoulders. As you recommend, I will unzip them and let them hang and then mark accordingly at where I want them to rest. Probably between wrist bone and thumb bone...

    Mid-end asymmetrical cross zip leather vest

    Hi all I am looking for a sleeveless "Perfecto" style vest. Schott currently has one in lambskin, but I prefer thicker and stiffer hide like Horsehide or steerhide. Any tips on where I could find one? Thanks PW

    How to figure out how much to shorten sleeves on leather jacket

    I understand that once a new leather jacket has been broken in, the sleeves will shorten a bit due to folds and creases mostly formed around the elbow. Currently, the sleeves are a bit long and I am wondering how much break-in should I do before determining if I need them to be shortened and if...

    Slippery slope ("collecting leather jacket")

    Thanks to all for your advice, comments and recommendations. After further consideration, I've decided to keep at least the 613SH as I really like the horsehide and the slim fit. The vandal fits me nicely but I don't like the waxy tumbled medium weight steerhide for 3 reasons: 1. I actually...
