    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    leather jacket makers should make a tag with a dog picture and slogan "trusty dogwalking wear" I think it's the main use of leather jacket today, nobody doing sport or hunting or flying a plane in leather jacket

    sometime the skin peel off and exposed cheap metal wire will quickly rust especially if your jacket has some dampness after being worn. , if you want to do this then wrap it around with tennis racket grip tape or dropbar tape for cycling. they add volume and a bit of cushion and protect the wire...

    Is there anyway to repair this tear on a jacket? The leather is sheep.

    car seat or sofa repair guy makes miracles on this kind of patching with stuff, from what I see in youtube, they glue on backing material like felt or canvas under the hole as backing, and then they use transparent silicon glue, and smear it with a piece of flat edge of a semi flexible plastic...

    What to wear with distressed Wabash Pants?

    Sometime the fade is more exaggerated when photographed flat like that but actually look a lot more normal when worn as a 3d object I tend to pair wabash with tan leather items, i think pairing it with another pieces of clothes in off white, black, olive or sage work

    Neck pain?

    just from pictures alone, typically their jackets has smaller neck hole for its size, and have a normal joe relatively flat undeveloped trapezius muscle, I often see a perfectly fit board/ cafe racer here but the band collar really bite into the wearer's neck and probably can't be snapped close...

    So I stretched the shoulders of a cotton Tshirt by 1" - Implications?

    i think the stretch is permanent, if the fibers is all cotton, but i think you have to go through several shrinkage and stretch over several washes to stabilize it, i think wearing it from wet to dry is a better method, I successfully permanently stretch a 21oz jeans that hurts like hell on the...

    I remember my first long pants was actually a fatigue denim pants, because it has patch pocket and not a 5 pocket jeans, but I just didn't know the name since it was in 86 or something and I was in elementary school, my first cargo pants probably from 88 and I kept wearing them as I outgrew them...

    is monkeypants in style lately?

    is monkeypants in style lately?

    perhaps the idea is never to open the buttons on the front pocket but just access the pocket from the space inbetween the 2 buttons, if the flap is unbuttoned I bet the whole pocket will spill out whenever you squat or sit on a car seat for example, the rear pocket I imagine I only will open the...

    is monkeypants in style lately?

    it gains popularity lately after fatigue pants and painter pants, this one share its time in the sun, every repro maker has their version, some made in herringbone, some in other fabrics, some with metal buttons some with standard plastic buttons, some a bit baggier, some has normal leg, some...

    Not a Vanson Model B after all!

    I see it has more slanted collar band, funnel shaped collar band, usually model B has standing straight up collar band, I think this one looks closer to a racing jacket
