    Seeking Advice: Reshaping a Jacket

    Thanks for your suggestion. It sounds reasonable enough. The leather is indeed very thick, which will make stretching a chore, but it's worth a shot. More length, even with the wider chest is at least one problem solved.

    Seeking Advice: Reshaping a Jacket

    In 2019 I bought a new Schott P613S in color 8 CXL steerhide. I put this jacket through the ringer and it became everything I wanted it to be, checking off all the desirable boxes we talk about here. The leather broke in, developing creases, patina and character galore. But most importantly, it...

    New Thedi MTC-1279720 "Memphis" Arrived This Weekend

    Very cool! My wife and I just learned that armadillos often spread leprosy to humans , which thwarted her plans to attempt to touch one on a trip. I could see belt buckles being a fun and relatively affordable collection to have.

    New Thedi MTC-1279720 "Memphis" Arrived This Weekend

    Fantastic jacket and fit! I really like the additional chest pocket for symmetry. Let’s talk about that belt buckle though. Is that an armadillo? Do share!

    Green Leather Jackets

    That’s a good comparison and I agree with it. Great leather, just with characteristics I usually associate with chrome tanned. That’s not a bad thing, only an observation. Perhaps I just had a lemon. The construction was very good aside from the lining. I wish I lived near a store so I could...

    Green Leather Jackets

    I am sure it can. I won’t pretend to be an expert, just that from the jackets I have owned it reminded me more of chrome-tanned leather. Perhaps they have achieved something great!

    Green Leather Jackets

    I bought the '76 in racing green last fall after drooling over it for a year or two. Unfortunately, I wound up returning it. I loved the color in person just as much as the photos. They claim the leather is veg-tanned, but it seemed way too soft for this to be true. I'm not about to accuse...

    ball and chain zip pull

    Perfect! Thanks for confirming my suspicions. My wife called them nipple tastes as soon as I tried it on, even through she’s the one who suggested longer. Sometimes I think she just likes an opportunity to make fun of me. I already shortened them last night. :) Will update with photos...

    ball and chain zip pull

    Completely irrelevant, but I realized I said board racer when I meant cafe racer. :)

    ball and chain zip pull

    Thanks everyone for sharing your experience — this thread was really helpful when brainstorming a fix for my board racer. I had first made them a bit shorter but my wife thought longer was better. Will definitely be more functional with bike gloves on, but I’m thinking they look a bit too long...
