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.


I'm sick of these clowns. Each and every one of them immediately starts shilling trash clothes, as soon as "sponsorships" start rolling in. And who would even want to take this guys advice on style, anyway? Grown-ass man dressing up like a 13 years old kid from an 80's sitcom taking place during the 50's.

There is enough lazy, clueless sheep out there looking for style advice. Clowns like Fjorde just take advantage. Can't say I blame them. Easy money, like taking candy from a child.

I recently tried on one of their jackets, the « convoy » in a shop here in France. Honestly, it fit really well and looked pretty good. No where near the quality of a Lost Worlds, Aero, real Schott, etc, but not all that bad. Overpriced, sure, but not bad. Maybe they’re improving?

I had no idea there was a thread about this brand in FL but it keeps popping up in my Insta, I don’t need to read the thread to know it’s a not a FL-approved brand, but this design really caught my eye.

Is it a copy of some older design by any chance?

Might even be my next jacket, that’s how much I like it. And after spending over €1k on my last 3 jackets my wallet would welcome spending half or less. I’m so over Levi’s trucker designs in suede (especially the III, ugh so overdone) regardless of the brand. That pseudo-type II Field Leathers did recently is alright and I’m sure miles ahead in terms of quality (both materials and construction) but from a pure design perspective I like this one better. And to be honest in suede the difference in quality is nowhere near as apparent as in leather. Too bad it will be like 5cm longer that I’d prefer.

Mate, why would you buy a jacket that is 5cm longer than you prefer?

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good?

I can live with an extra couple inches (I was probably exaggerating tbh and it’s less than 5cm) if the rest is right.

It’s not like going custom and dropping 2x or 3x what this jacket costs is going to warrant perfection, right? And it’ll be not returnable/refundable.

I just want to replace my boring-ass Type III style suede trucker. I like the RRL Alston but it’s really overpriced and the pattern looks wonky.
