Just like Thursday boots, they spend most of their money on advertising and influencer shilling than on their actual products.

Careful, you might get sucked in

Unfortunately, no action shots of me in the Goldrush jacket, but trust me, it's like it was tailored just for me. The way the leather hugs the body is fantastic! Those intricate stitches on the inside pockets. Pure quality. It's those small details that make it a top-notch piece! View attachment 576688 View attachment 576690

I have a horsehide trucker jacket from Fivestar that I paid $410 including shipping. That's $164 cheaper than Master Supply. I like my jacket way better than the photos of the Master Supply. Yet, if I had it to do all over again, I would have ordered the Vanson and made do with no hand warmer pockets.

I'm sorry but you couldn't be more wrong.

Zigzag stitching on a leather jacket is actually cost cutting because it's cheaper than doing a French seam.

It is very rare to see it on a leather jacket. Makes me think these are made by people who are used to working with fabric rather than leather.

 

[Marc mndt]

While zigzag stitching maybe a cost-effective option, but it doesn’t necessarily mean compromising quality.

It is designed to be used on stretchy fabrics because the zigzag stitch creates a stretchy seam that elongates. Think of the hem on a tshirt.

You certainly don't want the seams on your leather jacket to stretch. On leather you want a straight stitch because it's stretch resistant.

It’s all about the craftsmanship, and I’ve been pleased with the results on my jackets.

Good for you.

But you come here on a forum dedicated to leather jackets, showing sloppy construction work while claiming it is 'pure quality'. Meanwhile calling yourself Expert. I don't think you've ever handled a quality jacket, otherwise you'd be able to tell the difference.

 

[Marc mndt]

zigzag stitching is commonly associated with stretchy fabrics, but it can also be an intentional design choice on leather jackets.

True, you'll occasionally see it on leather jackets post 1950. It's an intentional cost cutting choice.

I have a couple of vintage jackets that have zigzag stitching on the inside panels or underneath the collar. It tends to give way much easier than straight stitching.

In the case of Master Supply Co, the zigzag stitching appears to contribute to a unique aesthetic rather than serving a stretch function.

The esthetics of cost cutting?

How nice of the seller to try to appear so civil, polite and well-spoken when trying to push out his (or affiliated) shoddy products. He/she is truly making an effort, quite entertaining.

These pics are from reb_bel, a drop shipper active on Instagram, selling cheap made in China jackets at a huge upcharge. Not exactly the pinnacle of quality.

Nicely done Marc. It's difficult to watch someone desperately attempt to deny when they've been beaten. It's odd to see a manufacturer wade this far into the water on this. Are we being trolled?

Hasn't it been established that these are made in Pakistan? What else is there to talk about.

 

[DamonCyclee]

Pretty sure this guy is working for master co or paid influencers to drive a narrative.

Also the kind of DIY stitching I’ve found on countless vintage jackets, especially cop jackets that needed a quick mend. On vintage pieces imo it can add to the jacket’s history. Not so much on new gear.

BTW, I enjoy watching you work lol. Eagle eye + Google recon skills = smile on my face.

In the case of Master Supply Co, the zigzag stitching appears to contribute to a unique aesthetic rather than serving a stretch function. My personal experience aligns with this design intention, and through my research, I've found that some Japanese brands also use zigzag (cross stitches technique) for extra detailing on leather pieces. It's interesting to see how different materials and styles influence stitching choices in the realm of fashion." View attachment 576806 View attachment 576807 View attachment 576805


I believe respectful discussions enhance our understanding. It’s great that we can share diverse opinions and insights without resorting to mockery. Fashion is subjective, and everyone’s entitled to their perspective. Let’s keep the conversation constructive and appreciative of different viewpoints.

I have seen enough taobao jacket pictures know they are from there, it's either C&P from Cidu or another shop start with S

I have to agree with @JMax on your fine eye for detail @Marc mndt. I was thinking the same thing when you pointed out the collar tab on the grizzly jacket. You got the skills there dude.

This is where the money is spent: having a tool like Fjorde do a bullshit review.

If I were a jacket maker I'd pay Fjorde to not wear or review my jackets.
