    Need to read your memoir someday, Uncle Photo.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    The core old/new before/after note of a biker club that was a social and recreational club of Greasers basically vs the new blood, drugged out and fresh from Vietnam, who want to be criminals was a great vantage point for setting up the narrative.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    It was a great film. Also a good mix of vintage and repro for the cast jackets. Some jackets looked very new, but this fit story wise (wives and girlfriends in the early years of the club with newly acquired jackets). They also did a good job of making the repro jackets appear period...

    Johnson Leathers Black Cherry Bison jacket

    The shrunken horse was all skived except the panels used for Canuck's sleeves, I believe. And yet despite being thinner to the touch you certainly feel its 'presence' in wearing, down to the density Canuck is talking about.

    Looks like CXL in Horween's "Color 8" but I could be wrong.

    The biggest holiday of the year in the Muslim world was this week, so I'd recommend messaging again next week; you wrote at the equivalent of Christmas Eve.

    Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto

    Honestly I had no interest in this movie despite the stacked cast but seeing that they reproed 1950s D-pocket Perfectos with Conmars for it might have changed my mind, sorry @Monitor.

    Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto

    Wow, this is stunning. And you say it fits like the current 42 in 613H? Did you see what the collar and belt are like? How much does this run? don’t live near the stores but I can call the store I went to to ask if they could post it to me. This is my favorite D-pocket layout. Makes sense...

    Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto

    I bought mine two years before you did and we’d already noticed some changes on yours (the mitered buckle); I assume that’s the line of demarcation.

    Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto

    The current Perfectos have the same ≈ 4 (slightly more on the S/SH) inch drop as the vintage models actually. They were never a super sharp V. I didn’t measure so I’m not sure if it’s sized down or cut differently now. I think the new 618HH might be both.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    And then there are mid-tier lines like United Carr, which is Buzz Rickson's patterns but less military in aesthetic. Or Moduct, which is like Buzz Rickson's meets Arc'teryx. Still high end construction, but made in China.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    The above jacket is still a high end item. It's different from the mall Toyo brands and SC is pretty explicit about it being made in China, like some of the Tailor Toyo stuff.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I know what you're referring to, but you have it slightly wrong (not your fault but people doing sneaky mislabeling). Toyo Enterprises, which owns Sugar Cane, owns the rights to Indian Motorcycle merchandise in Japan. Now this merchandise ranges in quality from mall clothes (although some of...

    Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto

    After trying on the jackets, your post now makes sense to me. The sizing has changed; the new 44 fits identically to my 42.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I am a massive fan of Sugar Cane and every one of their leather jackets I've seen has blown me away, yet I pretty much never see them for sale even on Japanese sites. Ha the Japanese stores do this when posting sizing pics of every item.

    Johnson Leathers Black Cherry Bison jacket

    Looks like they have followed in the tradition of many non-Anglo brands (the French started this practice; Americans and Brits do it with French and Italian) and adopted a fake English name. https://www.briselblack.com/

    Hidden in Plain Schott: the 613SH Perfecto

    If you want the shine to go away, I would not get the 613SH (although I would suggest you approach it with an open mind because the way the shine turns into this rich glimmer as the grain pops is beautiful). But if you really can't stand shine, ask to see the 613S. Same jacket, but in a matte...

    Johnson Leathers Black Cherry Bison jacket

    When I handled our shrunken horse for the first time, I was reminded of the Montana. Do you happen to know if it's the same tanning process?
