What's the worst coffee worldwide?
That must have been a different time in America. Before I was born. When you didn't throw away the old coffee, and made a fresh coffee. I remember a guy who got a huge cup of coffee from 7-Eleven, drank it for hours, and microwaved it every 30 minutes.- Fifty150

Schott NYC customer service
A lot of manufacturers will only work on their own jackets. I guess I just don't realize how privileged I am. In San Francisco, we have several local shops that make leather jackets. One shop is very popular with people posting on this forum. And, there is a Schott retail store. It's...- Fifty150

Your Most Disturbing Realizations
Where I live, it's a city, and a county. There are no unincorporated sections of the county. Both the city and the county have the same borders. So there is always infighting over what the responsibilities are of city agencies and county agencies. We do not have a city council. We have a...- Fifty150

Fit check on my first leather jacket
Forget about how other people think the jacket looks on you. The important thing is that the jacket is comfortable. You need to be able to move in it. You should be able to raise your arms, and reach for things. It should not be a struggle to zip up. The jacket is useless if you have to...- Fifty150

Leather Police Jackets
It wasn't mentioned in the product description. I didn't notice it until after I bought the jacket. In the photo, you can see it on the right sleeve. There is a zipper on the bottom of the sleeve. There is a mesh lining under the zipper. This provides for additional airflow and cooling...- Fifty150

John Ownbey Jackets
John Ownbey was a military manufacturer. I don't know if they currently have a supply contract. I would imagine that the manufacturing follows some contract specifications. Where I see the cost being cut would be the leather. It is probably a lower cost leather, from a 3rd world country...- Fifty150

John Ownbey Jackets
At that price, I expect overseas manufacturing. At that price, I expect leather tanned with pigeon poop. At that price, I expect the leather jacket to have a chemical odor and feel hard & stiff. But I don't know. People buy leather in Morocco, which is tanned in pigeon poop, and they say...- Fifty150

John Ownbey Jackets
Has anyone seen these in real life? No local retail store has this brand in stock. So I can't actually pick it up, feel it, try it on. Any thoughts or opinions?- Fifty150

Leather jacket repair?
I would first ask around at local cobblers. A shoe repair guy could easily add a zipper.- Fifty150

Leather Police Jackets
The jacket was ordered on a Saturday, shipped on Monday, and arrived on Friday. This jacket is a leather replicate of the textile jackets regularly issued by police departments. The first thing I did was remove the liner. The inside of the jacket liner is fleece, and it is filled with...- Fifty150

Side Laces on Motorcycle Jacket?
Everytime I buy a leather jacket, I think to myself: "can I wear this on my bike?", "will these laces get in the way if I need to draw my sidearm?", "what heels and purse will I wear with this?"............ just kidding about that last part.- Fifty150

Taubers of California
Until about 50 years ago, leather jackets were just not commonly sold or bought by the average person. Leather jackets were a specialty item. Military, police, motorcycle riders. And from what I was told, longshoremen. Dockworkers. Military and police jackets had manufacturing...- Fifty150

Leather Police Jackets
I bought this jacket. I didn't need it. But then again, I probably didn't "need" any of my leather jackets after I got my 1st. Every leather jacket after that, was "want", not "need". This jacket is identical to "raid" jackets sold by uniform manufacturers. I have a jacket just like this...- Fifty150

So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.
Except for the people who wear yoga pants, who are not physically fit. It's not just the office. Yoga pants are now a fashion item. People wear yoga pants everywhere. And a lot of those people, are not athletic, in any way. I think that for some of those people, they enjoy the attention...- Fifty150
