What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?
I see. My sleeves seem to crease even after only a single wearing so that’s why i was curious. Though my jackets tend to have quite slim sleeves which definitely facilitate creasing more readily.- FREEradical

What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?
Do you intentionally keep the sleeves of these jackets from creasing or are they just still relatively new and unworn? I’ve noticed that none of your jackets have even a hint of sleeve creases or even collar roll and all have that fresh out of the box look that I personally abhor on my own...- FREEradical

What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?
It’s weird because I don’t really know you but I often imagine you having like a family reunion of your bootlegger v2, the j106, your black cafe racer and the brown hb and just retiring entirely from the game in perpetuity with an a-team of jackets.- FREEradical

Aero Board Racer fit question
This is about as good a fit as you’ll get, I’d keep it where it is. If you start adding lengths and changing things you may find other factors are affected such as zipper location or how the jacket lays through the back due to extending onto your hips. In my opinion it’s best to just accept...- FREEradical

Ton which jacket did you trade for? The steer hb? I also like this one more than your j106 actually, it really fits you to the hilt.- FREEradical

Vintaged Schott Perfecto
It’s not stupid at all, the price is a bit stupid considering you can justify get a used one on eBay considerably cheaper. But there’s nothing inherently wrong with stuff made to look cooler than it otherwise might through artificial means. Practically every woman on earth is a pro at this with...- FREEradical

London leather bonanza
Actually HD, fashionistas would never appreciate nor tolerate these marks or other “imperfections” for basically the same reasons that you’ve laid out. Fashionistas value the aesthetic appearance of the hide first and foremost and so they will almost always be composed of the most corrected and...- FREEradical

London leather bonanza
You’ve got a good eye for leather it would seem. To the uninitiated marks such as these are often misinterpreted as poor quality which is why most leather that is sold has been corrected, and indeed why the term for damaging the hide by removing the top part of the most integral fiber layer of...- FREEradical

London leather bonanza
They don’t trim off the leather parts containing stretch marks, they simply buff the top grain of the hide to create an artificially smooth finish. These are corrected grain leathers and are intrinsically inferior to full grain leathers since they are slightly weaker in tensile strength due to...- FREEradical

Best black biker for non-biker?
Definitely the Real Mccoys Buco JH-1. It’s crazy expensive but also crazy beautiful. French seams throughout, understated but still edgy as a cross zip should be in my opinion. My favorite aspects are the mismatched hardware, brass zips and chrome snaps and the buffalo plaid wool liner -...- FREEradical

Best black biker for non-biker?
Actually, a french seam is a stronger and more labor intensive method of construction than a top stitched seam. The French seam isn’t merely decorative, it’s also very robust.- FREEradical

How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?
Bowen I bought one and returned it. They really are NOS made in Spain bucos and I’d have probably kept mine if i didn’t already have a few other black cafe racers I liked more. Only real problem was that they’re made out of a fairly low grade hide and they’re extremely wrinkled from storage...- FREEradical

Show your natural leather
Yeah I got in on this, I practically begged them to make me a Sheene rather than a cafe racer but the original run from July was over and I by the time I saw about it I had missed out. The proprietor Adele was kind enough to scrounge up some more of this natural leather from comipel tannery to...- FREEradical

Vanson Jacket Sizing Question (Mohawk and City Jacket)
I have the vaj-3 city jacket in a medium, it’s slightly large on me so it fits about somewhere between a 40 and a 42. It fits me well through the chest, But it’s slightly large through the shoulders and the midsection is kinda massive. I have a 32” waist, a 39” chest and I usually take 18”...- FREEradical
