    Does Your Jacket Stand Up?

    Fitcheck Fine creek leon 44 or 42. Which one should i choose.

    Ah I see. In my parlance, FCL custom would mean cutting it out of your wardrobe. Nothing against OP.

    Fitcheck Fine creek leon 44 or 42. Which one should i choose.

    The 42 reminds me of an ill-fitting Schott I tried once which was built off a bad pattern. Somehow too small and too big in various areas. It just didn't work. 44 is just too long and way too tubular. I also noticed you said they're "custom" - don't mean to be rude, but the only custom part...

    Fit check Aero

    Looks good, but be prepared to give it time to soften up. CXL FQHH is notorious for being stiff - especially in colder weather which causes the waxes and oils to harden. Matter of fact, this was heavily discussed in another thread last week

    Lost Worlds J-23

    I've found for a LW J23, I needed to go up one size compared to my other jackets. Not sure why the sizing is that way - but that's how it worked out. Btw you should be posting this in Classifieds section I don't believe there's a sizing formula on his website

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    LW will not show any strong fade or patina. These hides are tanned with the intention of maintaining the topcoat through everything you throw at it. What you can get in terms of "aging" is grain articulation of the HH. The russet horsehide can show some minimal patina, but it's not CXL-style...

    How many of you guys ordered from the Aero sale?

    I did read it, and it didn't seem like he was out to get you at all. I mean, it’s not like anyone expected the Spanish Inquisition! Anyway it's all good, I saw you're waiting for results of your license exam. Nothing more you can do at this point, so just maybe take a break and do stuff that...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    More of a question. I came across Gallun tannery that makes a nice grainy horse rump. I've only come across Truman making boots with these. Have not dealt with either Gallun or Truman - has anyone here purchased anything from them? Decent quality? I'm open to other suggestions, just really like...

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    Don’t forget they’re “repaired”. I’d hate to see what they looked like before.

    I’ve seen this look on the NYC subway - shame on me for judging a book by its cover. I had no idea they were trying to express their expensive tastes.

    (Trigger warning) Are we giving too much credit for wabi-sabi/Japanese craftmanship reputation for uneven graining (especially in high visible area)?

    He wants the option for smooth or grain only panels for an organic product like leather. Where even if you go smooth only, the panels will all evolve differently anyway with usage.
