Thanks for your help guys, the vinegar actually did work. It seems the previous owner(s) conditioned that jacket pretty heavy with black leather conditioner, that's why there's a lot of black colour in addition around the edges of these buttons.

Can someone answer me the question what to do if metal buttons have become green on the edge? I bought it like that for cheap and my plan was to re-paint that thing, but I didn't gave a closer look on the buttons. Now I wonder if I even should invest the time to re-paint it if I can't fix the...

Interesting that you mention that, I tried several cafe racers for the first time some days ago and the moment I put them on I knew that style wasn't really for me somehow. It's not that they looked bad, it's more like.. you put something on and it kinda clashes with "you" -but maybe only in...

Casual Monday... "Japanese fit" Schott size 36 naked cowhide A2 :D

Here for examples some differences. I haven't found out what exactly that Blue Bird is. Seems to have been around at the same time in the 70s or 80s. Not sure if it's part of Moto Cuir Paris or something completely different.

Interesting, so is this type of jacket and the painted patterns a style that origined in the UK? Cause there are several Moto Cuir Brands from France, all of them have a golden patch sewn on it, but sometimes they use different regional terms. For example I have a Moto Cuir one called "St...

Hello, I bought me a vintage Moto cuir jacket and don't know much about the brand, only that they made jackets in France in the 70s and 80s and are somewhat of a collectible item now. Anyone else here is collecting them or know more about the brand? The brand has been bought by German...

Does the lining make a big difference on the A2? I ordered me one with quilted lining, not aware of that. Later I found out theres models with polytwill lining. Isn't quilted lining for winter jackets? And polytwill more for spring/fall? Guess with quilted lining I don't need to onion up and can...

Such a shame.. that jacket was legendary. https://64.media.tumblr.com/6f4cbad08d24a476b7b945a046437ba5/tumblr_ndsxvaRfAB1sdtgp9o10_r1_400.gif Might be off topic to my previous post now but anybody know what kind/model it was?

Man he has changed. Played last year in my town.. completely bald now and kinda sick lookig :( I wonder if he still has that jacket

I'm getting more interested in leather police jackets (without any emblem or stitching etc. Obviously for the civilian market). I've seen some really cool models like the chicago police jacket but it's impossible to get something like that as European. Do you guys have some models/designs that...

Exactly. But what I don't really like are Gentlemen on YouTube trying to tell men what goes and goes not. Who are these people to say what looks good or bad? I've seen quite a lot of videos like that browsing and yes it's good if people have something to get inspired by when they're out of ideas...

Well it's not like I wear my pikes 8 hours a day every day of the week. I'm wearing them for many years now for more "fancy" outgoing sessions and never had a problem with my feet. They still look the same and they still feel the same. Of course if i would wear them every day of the week for...

Yes, usually pikes are worn one size up to your regular size so no worries.

Yes things could always be better, and you're right. Compared to other countries it's probably a paradise.
