    YES, it's TRUE! the SCHOTT 641 STEERHiDE REViEWED! with a picture!

    Hey Johnny, enjoyed your review, very informative. I once owned a 141 size 44 some years ago but sold it as I found the 25" length a bit too short and overall it just felt a tad small but at the same time I found the sleeves to be a bit baggy. Nevertheless, I loved the jacket style and am...

    Thoughts on this Schott Bomber jacket?

    Actually, that particular Schott looks like an imported model and I don't think they're even available in the U.S., just in Europe.

    Replace A Stolen Jacket

    Well, at least you know what it is. That makes it easier to find one exactly like the one you lost. Here's another (but also an M) http://tinyurl.com/67y9gum This one is different but also cool: http://tinyurl.com/5werq8b

    Replace A Stolen Jacket

    I thought the jacket looked familiar. It's not an exact copy but a gentleman on this forum makes a very similar jacket. You'll have to inquire about pricing, not sure if they run cheaper or more expensive than Eastman, but maybe worth looking into it. Maybe he'll even add a bit of piping ...

    Old Highwayman will ride again!

    Wow, what a beaut. I'd almost want to say that the steerhide ages better than horse and ends up with more interesting patina as a result. Horse is so damn tough that it just does not age the same.

    Cockpit A-2 Goat

    Jacket looks great. I have a Cockpit A-2 1987 Reissue that I really like and has become my regular jacket, especially in the spring and cooler summer nights. I really like those pictures of that air show. Where was that? Great looking planes.

    My "new" Vanson Model B / House Jacket

    Hey Cole, fantastic looking jacket and it fits you really well. I wanted to get one of these a few years ago but Vanson's customer service made ordering very difficult. You definitely got lucky finding one so easily!

    Better High Res Pics of the Captain America Jacket

    Nice jacket style, but looking at the way it's torn to shreds, it must be soft lambskin ...

    World War Leather

    Too true. There's a leather shop very close to where I live that specializes in fetish gear as well as top-quality, heavy-duty motorcycle jackets that would give the likes of Vanson and Langlitz a run for their money -- all hand-made in the neighborhood shop. I would not hesitate for a second in...

    New Jacket

    The jacket looks fantastic. I've always wanted a Langlitz and actually bought a used one last year from ebay but unfortunately did not fit and had to re-sell it. How does it compare to the Vanson? I imagine the goatskin is probably much lighter and more comfortable?

    Anyone get their new Vanson delivered recently?

    Thanks for the advice. I haven't ordered any thing from Noble and probably won't at this point. Sorry to hear about your experience with Vanson. I was really interested in getting a Vanson last year and would have ordered one if they had been more helpful. I found their customer service to...

    what you think about

    Some of the stuff looks nice. Aged, distressed leather, yes, but still nice looking stuff. Question is, what are the prices like?

    Yahoo! My Aero 1930s Halfbelt Slimfit/Luftwaffe clone has finally arrived. PICTURES!

    Hey Rudie, is that the regular FQHH or the Vintage FQ? From what I've seen of the Vintage FQ, it's heavy but much softer and more comfortable.

    Treatment of Vintage Leather for Daily Wear?

    Fantastic looking jacket. Looks like a German pilot's jacket, very likely since it has a Ritsch zipper. Check out this similar looking Luftwaffe jacket from an old auction -- http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/ww-ii-black-luftwaffe-flight-jacket-leather How's the treatment coming along?

    "Tunneling" and different hides...

    That looks like a Marty McFly original (although it hasn't officially been made yet ...)

    Current USAF Issue A-2s

    I suspect it's not the goats themselves that are the problem but the way the goatskin is treated and processed. Some of the Cockpit issue jackets have that plastic-vinyl look and I'm willing to bet its the way leathers are processed in the US. I had a Gibson & Barnes goatskin once that I was not...

    "Tunneling" and different hides...

    Wow, fantastic Highwayman you have there. Sounds like Butte means the sleeve wrinkling. I think lambskin or Aero horsehide tend to do this more. Maybe if the leather gets wet a lot it would do it more. I had a Wested horsehide Indy jacket once but it didn't tend to wrinkle or distress much. I...

    Anyone get their new Vanson delivered recently?

    If the quality is superb and you're happy with the jacket then that's great -- enjoy it. I don't mind buying well-made products from other countries, especially Central and South America, if it's fair price and value. I've paid top dollar for top U.S. and U.K.-made jackets and I don't mind...
