Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

Inspired by this thread: Why are zippers the weakest link in high end leather jackets? It makes total sense that the moving part is the weakest one in any item, but in a hobby where many pride themselves about not cutting corners, it sounds absurd to me that they do. Is it because the zippers in the past were awful so they resort to make them as awful to depict accurate repros? It simply is counter intuitive to buy something meant to pass the test of time with a piece that won't , specially when better alternatives exist that shouldn't raise the price exponentially.

So I bought some raw selvage denim jackets from Real McCoys; how do you care for them, and what should I do for the initial wash or upon receiving them?

So I am doing my taxes and I lost money on every single jacket I sold on ebay.

Any of yall actually making money? lmao.

Anyone know anything about Schott liner compatibility? Always wished my late 80s 125 came with it’s zip-out liner and have seen a liner in the same size but clearly a non-perfecto label. Is it worth a gamble or am I on a hiding to nothing? I don’t have any intention of faffing around with zip replacement…

The only real way to knoe for certain would be to try it, but I'd suggest dropping Schott a line, they will be able to tell you which liners fit which models, or whether they current produce one that should fit your jacket.
