    Ohh thank god. I can’t check it out fully right now, but from a brief once over it looks so much better and easier.

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

    I also say keeper. Especially with this “big puffy” type of jackets. We don’t expect them to fit like other jackets. If they are a little tight or little loose who cares? They are meant to keep ya warm. As long as they aren’t restrictive or so big you swim in them, then keep it. This does look...

    The Legendary DURABLE (Wild One) Jacket

    Can you post some more pictures of it now that it’s been cleaned and had some pecards applied? Or if you’re still working on that, when it’s all done and dried, mind posting some more? I’m super curious to see how it’s come out. Even just that cleaning seemed to be bringing it back to life.

    Vintage Outerwear: Threads of the Past

    From the Tanaka Schott book. They were not exact matches. This was the earliest Schott D pocket in the book. Followed by the earliest surviving Beck. The Schott doesn’t have an exact year but based on the label used it’s pre-WW2 a variation of this Beck was used from 1941-to sometime in the 50s

    Vintage Outerwear: Threads of the Past

    As far as I know this is correct. As far as I know the most famous style d pocket really was a Schott and made in 1928. All the other claims aside that one does seem to be universally accepted as actually true. From there they diverged into the perfecto as we know it amongst all their other...

    Vintage Outerwear: Threads of the Past

    It absolutely is. I believe what @jonbuilder meant is. Schott was making their own version of this jacket. As well as making them for Beck. So if given the choice he would rather have the Schott. Since it’s the “original.” But the Beck is legit.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I have none. But I’ve heard they have really upped their game on things lately. For the price point. Most of their stuff is under 200 bucks. So even if it’s not perfect compared to Buzz or Eastman who make similar things that cost you know 500-1,000. I’ve heard good stuff for the price. I’m...

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

    Fantastic to hear. I’m looking at their Tanker and B-10...from all accounts they are nearly as good as Buzz but for a fraction of the cost. Thanks for sharing your pictures and comments. This basically seals the deal. And really I may end up getting both the tanker and B-10 considering even with...

    Let’s knock another 5 dollars off, feeling the Christmas spirit. So now it’s at 415.

    Vanson Chopper Fit Pics

    The bainbridge and badalassi are not Vanson house leathers. I believe they are sourced by Thurston and then Vanson makes them. Vanson’s other leathers like x and z are sourced directly by them. I don’t know though if they source them all from different tanneries or the same one? The fire and...

    Vintage Outerwear: Threads of the Past

    I’d like to just see this jacket. I’d never spend that much, and in all honesty it doesn’t seem all that robust and built to some insane degree of perfection. But you never see these in this good of shape. They have become so rare. And so many jackets over the years have been based off this...

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

    Ok not a jacket, but we’ve all been here before. Driving me freaking crazy! Damn you Wisconsin, “******** you all to hell.”

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

    I had a bad U.K. to US customs experience. Which was totally my friend and mys own faults ha. I ordered some liquor from a U.K. store which can’t be shipped here, so I had it shipped to him. He then tried to sneak it through and it did not make it. It now sits on a shelf at his house in case I...

    I reread this and decided 420 is better. Not because 420 haha. But when asking this price what is 5 extra dollars to me...but 5 dollars off might be big for a purchaser. So 420 it is.

    Cal w/Collar

    Well, I can’t give this one away because I have to much into it. But since we had a member here with an awesome Christmas gift free to a good home. I said I would cover shipping I’ll also knock 25 bucks off and do it for 425 and shipping on me. That’s a start for Christmas generosity.

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

    On the other hand we already spend easily 1,000+ on jackets. It’s one panel and 11ozs. Translate that into a jacket and it would be the same and I bet a lot of people here would at least be intrigued if they could get an 11oz horse hide jacket for 5,000. But I mean yeah I personally don’t spend...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Yup! I mean look at their site they do have some awesome designs. Everyone I know here who has one says they are just as good as any maker. So no matter who owns it and where they are made ...they make a damn fine product. So let your product do the talking. I won’t say everyone because some...

    Makes sense. No complaints. And hey all your questions provided a ton of info here now for others to see.

    Cal w/Collar

    That’s all fair. To be completely honest though I would not worry about the waist. While 17 sounds right and non-adjustable worrisome I can definitely wear a hoodie under this. I just didn’t feel like getting dressed up for the photos and was in my bumming around the house clothes ha. It has...
