What would be the closest match for boots using Lost Worlds' horsehide ?
Meaning using boot-thickness chrome tanned horsehide that's stiff as a board and takes forever to break in/barely ages thanks to the acrylic/resin/pigment coated leather that is Lost Worlds'?
I'd love to get some to match my jackets.

As this is the closest thing to a daily general question thread..
Anyone have any info or experience with this leather jacket maker from Poland?

I see Satyr and Field Leathers follow him.

At least got some info that for now they only make MTO jackets that are priced around ~680eur / ~760$.

I'm thinking about getting a Schott B3 for my lady.

I'm struggling to find a fair priced women's one, does anyone know how the equivalence would be from men's to women's sizing? Obviously there may be a difference in pattern, but is a men's Extra Small closer to a woman's Small? To a Medium perhaps?

Didn't find anything that would help me on Schott's sizing guide on their website.

In my limited experience with women’s jacket sizing a regular fit men’s xs is closer to a women’s medium (sz 6-8), but if it’s a slim fitting men’s xs then it’s closer to a women’s small (sz 4-6).

That said, schott’s patterns imho are oversized, main reason I don’t own one is that even their smallest men’s size fits me looser/longer than I’d like, so I would assume a schott B3 in men’s xs is gonna be closer to the women’s medium or sz 6-8 and still be a roomy fit.

Good luck

Thanks, that basically completely throws out of the window getting a men's XS as my lady would be S or perhaps even XS. I'll keep looking for a women's one then.

I just checked out the sizing chart on the schott website for a classic B3, they have numbered sizing going down to a sz 32, so I thought they started making even smaller sizes than their previous men’s xs, but far from it as the sz 32 has a 20.5” p2p and 26” length, which is ginormous imho for something tagged as a men’s sz 32.

That P2P might be normal considering a B3 should be much bulkier due to the shearling, so a higher P2P is expected. The length does seem a bit too much.
