    Double Helix Western Cowboy Indigo Type 1 broken in white core photos

    Hi all I am interested in the Double Helix Type 1 indigo horse jacket but I would like to see what it might look like once it's broken in in particular with the white core showing. The photos on Double Helix Works website only shows a close up of the elbow area and I am hoping to see the...

    WTB Y'2 HR-55 size 38

    Based on my experience, Vanson tends to run a bit roomier with a bit more chest ease (e.g. C2) A size 38 Y'2 HR-55 would likely not fit like a Vanson C2 in size 38. I wear Vanson Cycle King size S which is more like the size 36 C2 except that the C2 is slightly shorter and has a bit more taper...

    Red Wing 2990 Engineers size 8.5D / Red Wing Loggers 4585 size 9D

    Might be interested in the 2990. What's your regular sneakers size? Better yet, what's the measurement of your foot (length and width - drawn on a piece of paper method)? Thanks

    Price difference in Japan?

    Has anyone ordered anything from celluloid1984 based on Hiroshima? If so, how was the experience? Also, what is the best way to calculate the exact custom duties? @long218 Can you please elaborate on this? Is that for the US? My understanding is that it's only up to US$800 duty free...

    How to figure out how much to shorten sleeves on leather jacket

    Good point! Sounds like the first course of action is to break it in!

    How to figure out how much to shorten sleeves on leather jacket

    Thanks for the warning and I am also aware of those issues that you mentioned. But if I were to proceed with the shortening, I would do it with Schott and Vanson and they confirmed that they would remove the zippers, shorten the sleeves properly and reinstall the zipper. In other words, it...

    How to figure out how much to shorten sleeves on leather jacket

    Good observation. You are exactly right, the zipped up sleeves being too long push up the whole sleeve which in turn push up the shoulders. As you recommend, I will unzip them and let them hang and then mark accordingly at where I want them to rest. Probably between wrist bone and thumb bone...

    Mid-end asymmetrical cross zip leather vest

    Hi all I am looking for a sleeveless "Perfecto" style vest. Schott currently has one in lambskin, but I prefer thicker and stiffer hide like Horsehide or steerhide. Any tips on where I could find one? Thanks PW

    How to figure out how much to shorten sleeves on leather jacket

    I understand that once a new leather jacket has been broken in, the sleeves will shorten a bit due to folds and creases mostly formed around the elbow. Currently, the sleeves are a bit long and I am wondering how much break-in should I do before determining if I need them to be shortened and if...

    Slippery slope ("collecting leather jacket")

    Thanks to all for your advice, comments and recommendations. After further consideration, I've decided to keep at least the 613SH as I really like the horsehide and the slim fit. The vandal fits me nicely but I don't like the waxy tumbled medium weight steerhide for 3 reasons: 1. I actually...

    Slippery slope ("collecting leather jacket")

    Hi all I think I can see the drop off as if I am slashing down the initial tame slope of a gnarly black double diamond run. As I slow down a little bit to survey the terrain and pick my line, my adrenaline is pumping, my serotonin is flooding and I find myself at the juncture where I can...

    Belt for Schott 568 Vandals jacket

    Hi all Instead of using the official Schott BLTV belt that goes with the 568 jacket, are there similar steerhide belts from other makers that are available to be used for the jacket? Thanks PW
