    Gustin to make jackets?

    Interesting... I guess the reality is that it could be a company that doesn't normally play in our niche, that turns out high quality goods for fashion houses, private labels, etc...

    Gustin to make jackets?

    These are the two that make the most sense. Cal-Leathers? It's not like there are that many possibilities.

    Fit Pic Evaluation Help - New Half Belt

    ^ I agree, the long pattern seems to accentuate the pocket / half-belt placement.

    It's a great looking jacket - proportions are really spot on to my eye.

    Fit Pic Evaluation Help - New Half Belt

    I'm just echoing now what others have said but if you are ok with the pockets and half belt location than I can't imagine a better fit. I typically don't use my hand warmer pockets, but if you do, I would make sure that you can comfortably use them before you make a final decision.

    Gustin just confirmed on IG that the lighter color jacket is natural CXL. EDIT: And also confirmed that it's a one piece back.

    Gustin to make jackets?

    Yes, and they have the Golden Bear name to help sell it.

    Gustin to make jackets?

    Essex is what my DD J-100 is made of, and I agree that it's top shelf. Could also be Dublin, which is a very similar leather. Either way, the bottom line is that Horween doesn't make any "low end" leathers, and if this turns out to be a simple, clean, half belt with a surprisingly low price, I...

    Oh God, from that angle, I think it might also have HCPS. (high chest pocket syndrome)

    Gustin to make jackets?

    To me it's that chest pocket that kills it. Zip looks good, cuffs are cool, and it will be Horween leathers, but that chest pocket is just terrible. Maybe it was a cost savings to hit a price point?

    Block-Bilt: Website link-Never seen these jackets. Anyone?

    I agree with all of that, my theory was that this was much less of a strategy than of someone who received samples, either as a consultant or otherwise, and chose to turn them into $. It's fine to get a site up first, generate buzz by being mysterious, but the eBay debacle was clearly a...

    Block-Bilt: Website link-Never seen these jackets. Anyone?

    Anyone find anything about the "famous" designer, Hiroshi Watanabe? All the theories aside, the only thing that makes sense (and I'm not implying that things always end up making sense) is that this is a soft launch with more publicity to follow?

    Gustin to make jackets?

    I saw in the email that they didn't technically announce the final price, rather saying "$1,000 is probably considered a value in this category." Since he then went on to say that they deliver "radical value", I would hope that they end up coming in well under $1000. The reality is that at...

    Aero DARK BROWN FQHH CXL?

    Appears to be, the only thing I don't love are the snaps on the handwarmers, but that's up to one's personal taste.

    Mine will trace back to my home in PA. Blaming the accuser when you're clearly in the wrong probably won't gain much traction here.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Great photo... I've spent many a night / weekend / week as my wife's guest at her pharma industry meetings and conferences and I have no complaints as to the level of comfort that supplies.

    Aero DARK BROWN FQHH CXL?

    It does, although dark brown is tricky to photograph. That first batch of dark seal Vincenza always looked black to me, I think you need direct sunlight to tell the difference.

    Aero DARK BROWN FQHH CXL?

    Noooooooo, it's tempting but nooooooo

    Aero DARK BROWN FQHH CXL?

    I don't believe I've seen this before, a dark brown version of CXL HH? I would call this dark seal. It's from Aero's IG.

    I thought I had seen that picture before, it doesn't seem to match the jackets he's selling on his eBay page.
