Just like Thursday boots, they spend most of their money on advertising and influencer shilling than on their actual products.Shoot, I clicked on their profile and now they keep spamming me with sponsored posts.

Salesman of the year.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'm sorry but you couldn't be more wrong.Those intricate stitches on the inside pockets. Pure quality. It's those small details that make it a top-notch piece!
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.While zigzag stitching maybe a cost-effective option, but it doesn’t necessarily mean compromising quality.
Good for you.It’s all about the craftsmanship, and I’ve been pleased with the results on my jackets.
True, you'll occasionally see it on leather jackets post 1950. It's an intentional cost cutting choice.zigzag stitching is commonly associated with stretchy fabrics, but it can also be an intentional design choice on leather jackets.
The esthetics of cost cutting?In the case of Master Supply Co, the zigzag stitching appears to contribute to a unique aesthetic rather than serving a stretch function.
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?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.

Just take his posts for what they are.Pretty sure this guy is working for master co or paid influencers to drive a narrative.

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. 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 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.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.
This is where the money is spent: having a tool like Fjorde do a bullshit review.Just like Thursday boots, they spend most of their money on advertising and influencer shilling than on their actual products.
Love how that guy deleted all his posts after Marc called him out on his shit.. wish I saw this before they were deletedSalesman of the year.
