    I've NEVER seen one, and I've been round the traps here a little bit, great thread.... Lasica's did make jackets though as well as helmets, I have a 3/4 in the shed.

    Which solution / dye to use to cover faded areas of leather jacket

    People spend lots of money to buy " distressed' jackets that look like they have been worn, and you want to do the reverse? Why not sell it for more than you paid for it to someone else and buy a new one? ;)

    Another interesting NZ jacket maker

    NZ used to produce high quality fashion leather jackets as they have deer at pest levels, and naturally have a big wool industry so their vintage cold weather gear was always as good as it gets....and it seems they still have an industry http://www.nzleather.com/

    Puckering on leather jacket from water?

    a leather jacket, even a fashion one, is supposed to be a layer of protection, so one that isn't even as tough as your own skin is a bit of a worry......

    REAL Lee Westerner?

    Picked this up, looks genuine, but it has no Lee label on front pocket, a bit of research reveals that J.CREW re-released a version of this with a lower waist, but it has their logo on the inside..this doesn't, a 2nd perhaps..anyway looks good/fits nice...

    Please Explain High End Selvedge Jeans to Me

    OK so 'selvedge' means 'not cheap' ? The term seems to wander around in meaning beyond that! I have been wearing 32x32 501's for 40 years, and the only thing I notice now is that the Bangladesh/Pakistan/China/Philippines Levi's are rubbish, and it's worth hunting up old USA or Australian made...

    Attention UK members please

    "It is interesting that this thread started by asking for advice from UK FLers, and yet the replies are now being questioned. If your nephew is the cool dresser that you believe him to be, then he shouldn't need anyone's advice on what to wear. So why ask on here?" The enquiry was about a BRAND...
