LWs J-24 calls to me like a lady of the night.
It kept calling for a long time, until I gave in
It should be ready soon I think

Once you drive it off the lot...the cost alone should be enough to keep them all. But then the chatter starts. Yeah I'll lose xyz dollars but gain xyz fit. Then the hide choice kicks in. And. Here. We. Go. Again.I would say it is my LW 23, not because it is so supreme quality ( well, it is) or it fits like no other, it is because the jacket is too damn expensive!! Cost me $1500 with potential shipping fees for fixing zipper!
Let's say someday I want to get rid of it, how much can I sell? $1000? Nobody gonna pay that for a used jacket, $800, $700? That's the half what I paid for. So that's the keeper.
Same as my test, cost me $1100 + $300 round shipping fees + shorten the sleeve length and sleeve opening =$1400!

Absolutely man. If there's a significant event attached. That's the keeper. Then it's something more than clothes. I still have the tattered salt valley western shirt I held my daughter in for the first time. Can't wear it but for damn sure can't throw it away.It's a cycle. The keeper is the one that remains when the others move on. It could be fit, color, or a story that makes it special.
The best way to create keepers is to avoid compromises.
Agreed. That's a really unique and beautiful jacket in a hide that'll never be seen again.You gotta wear that 30s HB more!
It'll be amazing broken in
I really, really like this jacket. It’s cool in so many different ways. I assume the finish on it is what’s called natural? Could you elaborate on the leather some more? I’d like to learn.Aero antique steer '30s Half Belt with muted plaid hvy blanket lining that Ken made with me in mind, Ha. Have only worn it a couple of times over the years.
