    Anyone spec'ed leather jacket with alpaca wool in sleeves?

    I don’t know why they don’t do sleeves with 2 linings... a warm lining next to the leather and the satin/rayon type lining on top of that next to your skin. That way it’s warm and easy to get on and off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Akubra Stylemaster thoughts and opinions

    That may require more than steam. Soak the brim, shape it the way you like, then set the hat on a gallon milk jug and let it dry overnight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Opinions on Aero HWM alternative

    A custom Raiders jacket from Wested could be made with slant pockets and would look a bit like a hwm, but would only set you back maybe $300. Not sure if they will do stormcuffs; you just have to ask. They also make one called the Walker that is similar, and one called the Skyfall that is...

    treating leather jacket

    PS for what it’s worth a lot of guys are into the old beat up broken in rough looking jacket— that’s the “never condition” crowd. Others like to maintain their leather pieces like new— that’s the “frequently condition “ crowd. I’m in the second camp. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    treating leather jacket

    Lexol is good but because it is a liquid it can saturate the leather and make it soggy feeling. So it sort of depends on how dry the leather is and how receptive it is to the conditioner. For instance if it’s a shiny jacket with some rough dry spots you’ll get uneven absorption... it will really...

    Akubra Overload

    Got a new Akubra. A brown Snowy River. It’s not quite as deep a brown as my Loden Lawson was, but still quite nice.

    My first „real“ Denim Jacket - Iron Heart Type III overdyed, 23oz

    Nice jacket and a great fit. Should last a long time too, I’d think. I have the opposite fitting issue... nothing ever fits me because I need a few inches shorter than standard. Anything that fits my shoulders hangs to my fingertips! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Dante’s Peak and Creed 2. Both pretty good flicks. I had never seen Dante’s Peak before, and I was surprised by how good the special effects were. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The wife and I went to a Joker matinee. SPOILER FREE review: Thought Joaquin did a great job and that it was an interesting movie too. It has a massive dose of character development, a classic part of storytelling all but abandoned by most of the lazy stupid movies made today. And for cultural...

    Akubra Overload

    The differences are not huge, but the heritage is a slightly thinner more compressed denser felt, a bit more like a vintage quality felt, and the imperial is thicker and not as compressed so some people think it is softer. I’ve had both and like both. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I would think the model has been around a long time but must have gone by a different name before the movie came out (1982). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    boot oil

    If you’re wanting to stretch them, don’t use oil. Mix 50/50 91% alcohol and water. Spray it on and rub it in with your fingers. Then wear them. Or use shoe trees with an extra insole or two in the boot to stretch them. A few treatments like this and they will be right. Sent from my iPhone...
