    New forum member brand (Rugged West)

    Hope it’s ok to bump an older thread! Just came across RW co on Instagram and instantly became interested in the Stockman 30s style leather Cossack (been going about this style jacket for months Now haha). I read through the thread and everyone seems to be happy about the company and the...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Newbie here- what exactly is a proxy service? Was actually recommended by someone here to use that for yahoo japan auctions (as well as a buddy of mine in real life said the same). I’m technologically illiterate lol

    Waxed jackets: the thread

    Unsure if there is an existing or updated thread about waxed jackets, so excuse me if I started a new one erroneously. Just wanted to see others’ waxed jackets! Here is my Filson shirt lined cruiser that I got back in 2016. Made at Filson. Probably my first “upgraded” article of clothing (sans...

    How patient/disciplined should you be when waiting for a dream jacket to show up for sale?

    My personal “dream jacket” in question. If it ain’t broke, why fix it? Haha but man, I really want the perfect leather in brown/tan/ or oxblood now!

    How patient/disciplined should you be when waiting for a dream jacket to show up for sale?

    I should add that I only recently got into vintage jackets, by the way. I have lots of Filson jackets (my favorite being a made in Seattle lined tin cloth I got in 2016 that fits perfectly and is beat to hell from years of wildlife field work, fishing, etc). Just something about actual vintage...

    How patient/disciplined should you be when waiting for a dream jacket to show up for sale?

    I have been feeling the original sentiment quite a bit recently. I think I already own the best fitting leather jacket I’ve ever owned, but have been searching for others in different cuts (in particular, 30s style shawl collar) for the past few months. Passing on anything that I even had a...

    Good Ol and Co Japan leather jacket?

    Thank you for the info! I’m definitely considering it with a ~350 offer or no, but I’ll have to look into proxy sites if there’s a way to save a bit more!

    Good Ol and Co Japan leather jacket?

    Hello all, In my search for a vintage, reasonably priced Cossack leather jacket, I came upon this eBay listing: https://www.ebay.com/itm/235893855735 A size 36, “Good Ol and Co” brand jacket made in Japan. Has anyone here ever heard of this company? Is it actually “vintage” or an older...

    RRL- really that good?

    That’s very true. I’ve been caught up in the idea that “made in China” etc meant cheap and low quality (an idea I’m sure many people have). Trying to break out of that

    RRL- really that good?

    Hey all, I was wondering what your thoughts were on RRL, in particular, the “newer” pieces that are made in China? I recently browsed their website and saw some jackets exceeding the 1500USD mark and was quite blown away. Manufactured in China and selling for that much? I figured early...

    Levi’s Cossack Jacket- recommended?

    Very good to know about goat leather! I just looked around the Thedi website- are they all custom Made?

    Levi’s Cossack Jacket- recommended?

    That is very fair! 700 is no small sum; might as well keep the search going I’ve had my eye on the ranch blouse ever since I became aware of its existence (which, admittedly, hasn’t been that long)! I’m very new to this side of the fashion world (the brands and companies), but yeah, I want it...

    New member intro and two Levi’s jackets

    Shame about Wilsey; I recall hearing about that a few years ago from someone associated to the now out of print Maximum Rock and Roll magazine (used to hang out at that house occasionally when I was younger). I too grew up more into the UK sound. Never made it to Montreal, but I’ve played show...

    New member intro and two Levi’s jackets

    It really does! I’m glad I took my time and search thoroughly/ waited for the right jacket. It came from England via eBay at around $320 USD shipped. Can’t complain about the price! that sounds like wild times indeed. While i knew a few people that ended up on that side of the political...

    Levi’s Cossack Jacket- recommended?

    Thank you for the rec. I was doing a search on the forums here and saw an overwhelming amount of positive reviews about the MF jacket, but one or two reviews stating that the buttons didn’t fit into the slots, etc. I wonder if there’s a way to try one on first! that is very good to know, thank...

    Levi’s Cossack Jacket- recommended?

    On that note, does Levi’s just not make quality leather goods “nowadays”? The lone Levi’s leather I own is supposedly from the 70s, so I’m sure manufacturing, raw materials, etc have changed

    Levi’s Cossack Jacket- recommended?

    Thank you for the reply and for the suggestion! I often develop an issue where I become brand loyal (in this case, Levi’s and their LVC collection) and often forget about other brand available. I visited the Schott’s store here in San Francisco and tried a jacket on and they were quite huge on...

    How has your taste in leather jackets changed over the years?

    Fun topic, and one to go down memory lane. I started wearing leather jackets around 2005/2006, when I was 18 and about 5 years into punk music and the scene. I can definitely say that many a thrift store motorcycle style leather jacket was ruined with paint and studs! Attached is an embarrassing...

    Levi’s Cossack Jacket- recommended?

    As a recent convert to different cuts of leather jackets, I’ve stumbled upon the Levi’s Cossack. In particular, this one on eBay (image attached). From the previous posts, it seems like some people are saying to save the money and go for a Mister Freedom instead? Does anyone have any more info...
