    Pakistani made Leather jacket round 2

    You know what. You guys can enjoy this place in peace now . I am done with this place . Usually forums are more engaging and interesting however this one is the opposite . Personally I haven't seen any interesting postings here recently aside from does my XYZ fit ? Oh no I broke a zipper ...

    Pakistani made Leather jacket round 2

    I would say it fits . That's the first jacket where I have full range of motion . My 5* all weather halfbelt was pretty good but this one is very comfortable. And it looks much better with the correct buttons now .I still have to replace a few of those hideous huge black plastics buttons they...

    Cordovan Patina Question

    Great jacket. How versatile is the cordovan color? Do you think it is subtle enough to "replace" a brown every day jacket?

    Are shoe trees necessary for dress boots and dress shoes/loafers?

    As someone with a very sweaty foot I would say that I don't find them necessarily beneficial. I need to let my leather shoes rest at least two days .If I put the shoe trees in right after wearing them then they feel very damp the following day . So I usually put them in the following day to keep...

    Pakistani made Leather jacket round 2

    600-800$ isn't mid range to me .1000-3000$ is luxury level to me . I don't know anyone that would see a 600$ piece of clothing as midrange. Sure it is midrange here because people are invested in this field but the every day joe probably wears 80$ boots and 60-200$ mall jackets

    Pakistani made Leather jacket round 2

    I also own copies of saddle back bags . Yes they do have shortcuts but they are made of 2mm crazy horse leather.Heavy duty metal hardware and brass zips and clasps . These bags have been through a lot .I use all of my "fast fashion" alternatives like the real thing was intended to with no ill...

    Pakistani made Leather jacket round 2

    I know what you mean. These things don't fit into the category because they don't have any heritage, traditions, etc . They just try to be a short cut version or they just steal the heritage of a long standing company. I do think that the fast fashion versions have certain qualities of the...

    Pakistani made Leather jacket round 2

    They don't plan on making more jackets out of it because they don't have the experience in working with such a firm hide . It was a one off thing they tried for me and they don't advise to do it again . Isn't CXL also a leather primarily used or intended for footwear? Yet people love it for...

    Pakistani made Leather jacket round 2

    I know the thing isn't perfect .I am not trying to make it anything that it isn't. I am just trying to understand why there never seems to be a middle ground here. It seems to me that things here are either perfect or complete trash. I know the whole heritage clothing thing is about long...

    Pakistani made Leather jacket round 2

    The construction quality isn't as good I know but this is a unfamiliar leather to them .This leather is normally used for boots, cowboy hats,bags etc with less intricate and shorter seams . Now to the flat appearance it is a pigment finish with a lighter color underneath. Didn't people heavily...

    What's so different to the sleeves curvature of this Field Leather to mine ?

    Pakistani made Leather jacket round 2

    Or people enlighten me what you see differently from these hides which makes them so much more desirable. To me this is just as flat with a high shine finish Comically this LW has some resemblance in some areas with the "mistakes" made by the Pakistani company such as the throat latch being...

    Pakistani made Leather jacket round 2

    I understand that you don't like it but enlighten me about the leather being "so awful" .I know you have handled more jackets then me . I think the surface doesn't look that different to the naked cowhide from my schott .The surface isn't sanded to remove all imperfections.The pores are clearly...

    Pakistani made Leather jacket round 2

    I mean the backside looks good and the sleeve curve looks good to me too. They fixed the cuff . The collar looks spot on . The front drop looks decent . However the huge buttons and the spacing of the third button makes it look really bad to me. Also the "waistband" is way to long . I should...
