The Jacket That Might Get Me Banned From The Fedora Lounge

[TheOldFashioned]

It's OK. I got banned from VFJ and I've survived.

So this explains why you reference VFJ threads in 80% of your posts.

Not really. I've occasionally referred folks here to some specific threads at VLJ site which may directly address questions they have, so perhaps you are thinking about that. There are some very knowledgeable folks there and a good amount of historical info.

IIRC, my abovementioned comment was the first time in a while in which I mentioned VFJ in any way except to cite suggested VLJ threads. My being banned there was fairly recent, FWIW.

Nice cut and styling. I like large #10 zippers, but those look like #12 zippers. The pulls detract a bit from the styling. If you like it and it fits you and it's decent quality and you get use out of it, who cares what others think.

Sorry, I had to. It's those zippers, man! It's all I can think of!

In all seriousness, way more practical and far less aneurysm-inducing than these completely unfunctional f**king Talon nightmares on so many things.

It's really nice!

But brown one isn't. Sometimes I forget how much difference leather makes.

The obvious question which hasn’t yet been asked is :
‘Why were you banned from the Vintage Leather Jackets forum ?’

Irrelevant and continued discussion further diverts this thread.

Great GIF

I have had to replace the main zipper on every Aero I’ve owned. If only I could get my hands on size 18 zips, I’d create some really dreadful Frankenstein jackets.

That’s a bit of an odd thing to say.

It is hardly ‘diverting’ when this thread is about what it might take to get banned or ‘irrelevant’ when it was in direct response to your earlier post when you said you were banned from the Vintage Leather Jackets forum.

The fact that you’re so dismissive might lead some to the conclusion that perhaps the VLJ forum had reason to exclude you.

Coach makes pretty good leather items, unlike most if not all mall brands and luxury designer brands. Their bags are well built, the hardware is sturdy, and they're using good top or full grain leather without a ****ty topcoat 3mm thick that'll age like ****.
It doesn't surprise me that their jackets are great.
Hermes, Loewe, YSL, All Saints, LVMH, these don't hold a candle to Coach imho, especially for the price.
If someone were more interested in modern designer jackets than "heritage" like us, I'd definitely recommend them Coach over any other designer brands.

I have bought several coach purses as gifts over the years and I very much agree with this.
