    Schott 688, 557, Aero Seven fit checks

    I’ve been obsessing over the Schott 688 for a few years now. I love the relaxed fit, the cow feels amazing, and the dark brown color is just luscious. The sleeves are too short for me, I need about two inches added, but then I worry I’d need another inch in the body, or the jacket would look...

    How do you turn inside out the sleeves (slim) of a leather jacket?

    I have a used leather jacket that I want to turn the sleeves inside out for cleaning. I tried to do it (with the cuffs zipped up) but the sleeves are too slim and the leather is too tough. The cuffs have zippers that I can unzip but I'm afraid it might scratch the leather when trying to turn it...

    Can a defect like this be removed from fabric?

    I just checked a garment of mine I purchased very recently and noticed these two spots on either side of the colored "stripe" in the middle, I circled them in red to make it easier to see so you can know what I am referring to. It's the same color as said stripe, so I assume it must be some...

    Are these lines (scars?) natural to the leather?

    I was just browsing the internet and found this. The surface of this leather jacket got me curious. Under the two chest zippers there are many lines/scars. Are those supposed to be scars that existed on the animal's hide before it became leather? Or is it something that happens over time as the...
