    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    I saw it posted on Vintage Leather Jacket forum. I think what he (the tailor) did was to flip the collar inside out, semi-dye the jacket, swap the buttons and the buckle, and add a wool lining.

    Freewheelers Centinela & Real Mccoys Buco J-31

    Thanks, Marc. It appears that RMC Buco J31 has a bad pattern. The Langlitz Comstock doesn’t look attractive for some reasons, maybe the snap buttons are too small compared to the overall jacket. RRL did a Buco J31 calfskin repro in 2015 as well, called “Watts jacket.”

    Freewheelers Centinela & Real Mccoys Buco J-31

    I’m a fan of the J31 style (the eight snaps). Between RMC Buco J31 and Freewheelers Centinela, which one is a better jacket in terms of comfort?

    A black leather down vest makes sense. It looks just like a black vest, as the leather appears matte.

    Sweat eventually absorbs through your clothes to your down vests. I’ve owned three down vests over the last 20 years and had to wash each of them once, and I thought I didn’t sweat. After about 10 years or so, each down vest looked like there were sweat stains and the down inside deflated a lot.

    Mister Freedom Ringo ranch blouse review

    Cross-posting. It’s a good piece: excellent type I pattern (the pleated folds have some room to give), unlined leather feels nice on the skin, and solid construction. I’m a fan of the snap button closure. The pockets seem functional, they fit my iPhone 14 easily. Generally, there is not much to...

    It’s called pronged cinch-back or clincher, which is typical of type I trucker jackets from 1905-late 1930s

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    Down (feathers) gets soaked by sweat over time and loses its insulating property. It becomes sticky and gross. It requires washing once every season/every few seasons (if pushing it). I haven’t owned a leather down vest so idk if leather would absorb all the sweat and prevent the sweat to get...
