    How would I go about checking out a pair of these?

    Five Star Leather vs Johnson Leather for Custom Jackets

    In the other 5 Star thread Shawn himself just gave seriously in depth explanations of their entire system. Might be of note to some of the points made back and forth here. Really cool he took the time to go through the entire process. All here should go check that out.

    Field Leathers

    I didn’t mean it was bad by any means. Just I don’t like pre-distressed or super fast fading. Some look good and look ok. Like Thedis wash he uses, love how that comes out. But in any case didn’t mean to sound like I don’t appreciate it, or think it shouldn’t exist. Just a personal preference...

    Field Leathers

    Obviously no expert. But two things I know. Things that fade and show wear are a sign of craftsmanship aka made well, longevity. Jeans or jackets don’t really fade or change if they are cheap. They eventually just break, or get replaced. Fades and patina show that it’s old and been around...

    Vanson E or C2? Classic CW(Sold!)

    It did go to a lounger!! And I considered asking way more. I know no one would pay it. But it’s like the perfect cross zip. Should the lounger who bought it choose to show it off...you’ll see. It’s literally the perfect minimalist design, with the best leather. The leather that like I said...

    Post Thedi Leather Jacket Photos Here........

    Yup. I agree it’s not your normal fit, but I think that’s exactly how this style is supposed to fit. Maybe it’s just not your style? If you can forget that, then keep it, looks great.

    Post Thedi Leather Jacket Photos Here........

    I can probably find this on Thedis website but since you own this figured you’d know. When Thedi says “Buffalo” is it American Bison or Water Buffalo hide? I’ve noticed a ton of tanneries and makers just say Buffalo without further explanation. It doesn’t really matter as I’m sure they are very...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I thought I had my next pair picked out. Truman Java Waxed Flesh in my size, Black Friday Sale for 315. They were listed on the sale page but as “coming soon” sign up for email notification when available. Sign up for it. And send Truman an email saying why are they listed as coming soon and...

    Vanson E or C2? Classic CW(Sold!)

    @Monitor thats what I get for measuring all day. Have a few more to post at some point. At a certain point you just blindly measure away without thinking. But this one deserves love. It’s literally the classic competition weight that was once armor and breaks down to the softest best drape but...

    Vanson E or C2? Classic CW(Sold!)

    You’re right of course. I didn’t have it stretched as much as I thought. About 21. I’ll update. Good eye.

    Vanson E or C2? Classic CW(Sold!)

    I never ever wanted to do this....but I’ve recently made a commitment to wear my jackets and get my monies worth. I want to downsize and focus on having just a few pairs of boots and a few jackets. 2-3 of each. Unfortunately this one just doesn’t get worn. As you can see it’s a Vanson E(?)...

    Colchester Rubber Co.

    Yeah, whether the story is true or not, they are very well made, easy to dress up or down, and that color combo is great!

    Five Star Leather vs Johnson Leather for Custom Jackets

    I think you’re absolutely right about the risk factor. But I also think not many people would just stumble upon them, or know how to order a completely custom jacket; unless they are people like us. The average Joe looking for a leather jacket I doubt would ever find them. Then if they did would...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I do it all the time. Some people hate it, but it’s all relative. In the modern world there’s hundreds of different shades of black and brown. There’s a hundred different finishes on the leathers. You can totally pull it off. The black belt I wouldn’t do with this outfit. I think the boots look...

    Five Star Leather vs Johnson Leather for Custom Jackets

    But that’s all relative. Where you live and the costs of living in a specific country/region matter the most. In the US if you earned 3.50 an hour you literally could not survive. Our costs are much more. Where you live if that’s average then you’re doing just fine. I make way, way more than...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I’ve decided I want to buy a pair of Type 3 and/or Boondockers and it seems for the cheaper yet accurate models At The Front gets the best reviews. I just want a pair to dub myself. I actually had a pair of muleskinners I was going to do it to but decided I liked them too much that way. There’s...

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

    Oh I’m sure they did. I’m not doubting they sold. I’m cranky that I thought they were still available because of his never updated site. But in the end it’s for the best I was never sure I could pull it off which is half the reason they’ve been looked at on and off for like 3 years.
