    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Forgot the time zone. It is the right time zone for me but I also usually opt for fire and forget these days.

    Chinese leather jackets

    Just for info. These I sometimes wear during heavy rain. They are quite suited given the smooth bookbinder leather and cord sole. I am just not sure if the leather is durable as work boots. Cheap bookbinder leather splits easily. I bought these some time ago way before Flame Panda was...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Thank you. Nowadays, I usually place a sniper bid and do not come back to watch. This one I placed a sniper bid and was watching it at the closing time. I own a later model with the quilt lining and sewed in throat strap. Have been looking for this earlier model for a while. We would have...

    Chinese leather jackets

    I have the same boots. If you look at the underside (hairy side), you can see they are heavily processed leather.

    Their jackets are usually quite small (seriously undersized). Quality-wise looks to be very close to Four Speed.

    Thoughts on these Jimmy Choo boots?

    I have a pair of Frye campus from the 90 that looks somewhat similar. https://shopsanft.com/products/vintage-frye-short-campus-zip-boots-size-6 Same model as mine. No experience with Jimmy Choo. Only know the name because their women's shoes rose to fame in 00s?

    What jeans are you wearing today ?

    I am not sure about the European Lee which are for AFAIK everywhere but Japan and US. Edwin Lee Japan has made some oversized items in recent years because of the fashion trend in Japan and Korea.
