    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Truly one of the nicest Cafe Racers on TFL. Bonus point for the library picture with “Razorblade Tears” S.A. Cosby is one of my favourite contemporary novelists.

    DHL stops deliveries to US above USD 800.

    Just across the tickers. I usually sell cheaper than that, but the world has just gotten bigger again once more.

    Yeah, well, as a music aficionado you will know what Nazareth said to requests like these: “Dream on…” .

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    It is now more than 30 years ago, but I had a phase where I was trying to convince myself that bib-overalls were my thing. There is a good in every bad as I now know that I look like Kletus from The Simpsons. You, however, can pull it off effortlessly. Your personal style choices bring a lot of...

    Roughout cross zip?

    I can see that happening, but personally I wouldn’t go for goat. The special drape of goat suede doesn’t go well with the biker look, but that’s just me. As for roughout - I don’t really know what Aero can offer, so do keep us posted.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Agreed on both. Although I do like the Truman Boot in shrunken Bison.

    FS: Lewis Leather/The Garbstore Collab Bomber Sheepskin (Large)

    Thanks! That’s what my wife says too. Thing is, it just feels restrictive, and I won’t shake that feeling now.

    10/10 outfit!

    Letter in the Daily Telegraph Newspaper

    There is actually a “Big Bang Theory” episode on Penny selling/taking nerdy stuff that is dear to Leonard. I dare say, EVERYONE there handled this more appropriately than the “advisor” of the tabloid.

    FS: VANSON MODEL C ( 42 ) - BLUE JEAN LEATHER

    I agree with that. This cannot not sell! Slow times in TFL Classifieds. I wonder if it has to do with a very limited number of sellers bulk-posting stuff that they bump constantly. Gems like these get relegated to page 3 or 4 within 24 hours.

    Fitcheck Fine creek leon 44 or 42. Which one should i choose.

    Actually, I think it looks really good for what is intended. Yes, longer and slimmer than an original pattern from the 1950’s , but that’s not the point, right?! If you go with an untucked T-Shirt, it will look just right.

    Fitcheck Fine creek leon 44 or 42. Which one should i choose.

    I wonder what makes it so hard to accept that some people actually like FCL… OP: visually, I’d go 42. I wouldn’t worry about sleeve length as an aesthetical issue. Way within tolerance. By all means, go with your feeling, if it feels restrictive, size up. You can pull off both sizes if you...

    New ELC 1401-P

    Very little that beats Eastman when it comes to an A-2. The horsehide is a dream. Perfect fit you have there, sir!

    Same old, same old. Carwash after an early grocery run before the Easter holiday madness. Heavily under the weather, so I might skip some family-duties over the next days…

    Help me decide on my first and hopefully last leather jacket!

    Once I read garage/surf/post punk band I thought a classic Perfecto may indeed be the right one for you. I would probably go for the 618HH or 613SH, but not the special editions in lettered sizing. Go as “iconic” as you can… Normally, I’d always vote for a Lewis Leather “Lightning” (as chosen...
