    We appreciate the kind words and support of our small shop. According to my friend that was born in New Orleans we have been granted the status of New Orleanians due to the fact we enjoy August and almost never complain about the heat (yea right) more than once a day. Yes we come for...

    Does it make sense to have leather jacket sized altered rather then sell and reorder.

    If you decide to go forward with the alteration let me know. You can send me a few photos with the jacket on zipped up front, side and back along with an idea of how much you would like to taper the fit. We have completed this type of alteration quite often without having the customer in the...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Way to much time on my hands. Bought two pairs of these in 1970 original Thorogood (Weinbrenner) roofers and wore the first pair just about every day. Second pair only light use as my shoe size changed. Sent an email to Weinbrenner to see if they still made this exact version. Told me no but...

    Nice looking D-Pocket jacket. I do on occasion get my hands on CXL over-dye in a 5oz. In the 5-6oz. leather the commitment on breaking it in is greater than a marriage:)

    Vinyl or horsehide?

    Based on what I can see in your photos it looks like the underside is suede and the edges by the seam look like there skived. So my guess is your jacket is leather. Hope this helps.

    Vinyl or horsehide?

    The best way is to open a seam in the inside of the sleeve and look at the underside and it should be suede. The seam in the lining can be resewn easily by you or any tailor. Hope this helps.

    Vinyl or horsehide?

    We have had a few jackets come to our shop for repair that the customers thought was leather. I had to tell them the bad news that it was vinyl. I opened the lining from the inside and showed them there was no nap (suede) to the underside of the leather (vinyl) they were surprised. That is one...
