    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    Speaking of brown leather, does anyone have any thoughts on which is the most supple and matte dark brown leather for a perfecto style jacket? Dark Vicenza Seal was a previous consideration but it looks quite light in sunlight and I am looking for something dark chocolatey brown that doesn't...

    Simmons Bilt

    Just a quick update that I LOVE this jacket and cannot wait to start wearing it again now that the weather is thankfully cooling to Autumn levels. In the few months I was able to wear it since purchasing it definitely started to break in and soften up and now has started to confirm and drape to...

    New Schott Leather Jacket - P623H

    Anyone got a P623H in size S, particularly in Brown, that they want to sell? :D

    I agree with ideally buying locally if you can for things like leather jackets, it takes the guesswork out of things. I will go back to the store in a couple of weeks and try on some more stuff just to see if there are any other styles or leather types I would consider for the future. I am...

    Ahh, this Schott P623H jacket looks so awesome, I would love it in brown or burgundy! Guess I need to keep an eye out on Ebay etc. :)

    Vanson custom jackets

    From the different angles of the jacket I find it hard to tell. Did you afterwards again specify to him what you saw as the difference and did he confirm it?

    If I am being honest then not really, no. Maybe you can just save time and explain it to people.

    Japanese brands rejecting Shinki

    We must really have crossed wires so sorry if it was confusing for you and lets just drop this conversation and go our separate ways in peace. :) No I am not, I have zero need to go on to forums to get a rise out of anyone; at worst here there is a misunderstanding in context, so please stop...

    Japanese brands rejecting Shinki

    I did not write anything like that so maybe you need to re-read the posts again with a more rational and logical eye before making exaggerated knee-jerk responses. Moo spends much of his time outdoors as he lives in the one of the most outdoorsy and mountainous countries in the world and is a...

    Japanese brands rejecting Shinki

    It's absolutely not ridiculous and I articulated exactly why in the other large part of the post that you didn't quote.

    Japanese brands rejecting Shinki

    I think the point that the other guys were making is that most people do not need to be so anal as to google the average number of rain days in their country. I also have no clue how many are in mine, or any of those I have lived in within central-ish Europe, and never have thought to look at...

    Simmons Bilt

    Thanks Canuck I really appreciate your detailed posts on this forum and the photos you provide it is super helpful. I suspect the leather is Shinki too although it doesn't specifically say so. It is a lovely leather though with a very subtle aroma and like I said quite soft and supple, all...

    Simmons Bilt

    Hi. I just picked a 38 off of the rack, nothing was ordered. The jacket is form-fitting, but with a little extra room for an inch or two of chest and arm growth, which is exactly what I wanted as I will be putting on a couple of KG of muscle in my chest and arm in the next months so I will grow...

    Just read a very interesting post that for me suggests that there has been some unfair treatment directed at Alexander Leathers / Simmons Billt as a whole as a result of the actions of one employee...

    vicenza horsehide or badalassi cowhide?

    Well guys in the end I may have found the best of both worlds, a veg tanned Japanese horsehide (could be Shinki? Need to confirm) with the badalassi tobacco colouring. In low light it is dark yet in the sun it takes on a red hue. The leather is also substantial yet soft and supple right off the...

    Simmons Bilt

    I have to agree with this. I bought a Simmons Bilt Cafe Racer leather jacket yesterday and didn't have any clue about the brand before I later googled, after almost immediately purchasing it when I tried it on. What I did first notice when I saw and then tried on that jacket is that: 1) The fit...

    vicenza horsehide or badalassi cowhide?

    Hi dude great jacket is that the Hooch Hauler? How do you find the leather did it break in ok and does it squeak? ANy feedback appreciated. :) Thanks for confirming, I actually meant another posted when I referred to the Hooch Hauler, my mistake. The Buco board racer is sweet though! :)

    vicenza horsehide or badalassi cowhide?
