S&S is always in my agenda when I visit the Oakland area. Fun people, and will special order Real McCoy's jackets they normally don't stock.
I have an end game list myself. And natural veg. tan is on that list!
I believe that all end game plans are pipe dreams. One might as well believe that the final jacket waits at the end of the rainbow.
The end game is probably a dragon skin jacket made under the watchful stare of a unicorn... the day you manage to get such a jacket, you can call it a day.
Oh wait... it depends on which unicorn and dragon
What's wrong with SB? Looks like some really nice leather jackets they built for S&S.I love Standard and Strange, but I'm very disappointed in them working with SB.

Lol no you're WAY off base here. SB literally has stolen patterns from Aero. They aren't similar, they are the exact patterns that were stolen from Aero years back. Not the same thing at all.Ok, so it's not because they make crappy jackets. So it's an ethical deal. Which I don't understand. I see so many designs that look exactly the same by different makers. Himel has a Frobisher that looks similar to the Eastman Californian that looks similar to the Aero 30's halfbelt which looks similar to the Bill Kelso Wingman....lol. I mean what are these guys/companies stealing from one another?
I guess that's where I'm at. I am not nearly as involved and passionate with the manufacturers of some of these places, nor the ownership of these companies, like most of you guys it seems.If I were buying my very first leather jacket today I probably wouldn't care about the past issues if I thought I was getting good value for my money and a great jacket.
Sheene doesnt have the waist band or the buckles.."
I think your jacket provided the inspiration for the much maligned SB/S&S colab!True. Except on my last Sheene, I asked Aero to add a waist band and buckles. My intention was to get the tight fit of a Sheene, and the look of a Highwayman. Except for the blackened Vicenza color, it's very similar looking to the S&S Vanishing jacket.
