    Fixing asymmetrical collar on Real McCoy's leather jacket

    leather can be shaped when damp not wet, you can wet the leather, to somewhat reset the creases, and then once the wetness is reduced into dampness almost dry, then you can shape it like clay and the shape will stay

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    it like subtle fading, I don't like fraying on my own pants, I mend them before it happens, I can't be relaxed looking at thread unraveling on my pants, to me it feels like riding a bike with flat tyre or driving a car with broken headlight, it has to be fixed before being worn again, but I like...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I wear jeans because I like the fly metal buttons, and how sturdy they feel, but I also like other pants, even ripstop fatigue pants and cargo pants, but I mostly wear jeans because the same like leather, denim looks better with more wears, the creases look more natural, and the fit changes with...

    (Trigger warning) Are we giving too much credit for wabi-sabi/Japanese craftmanship reputation for uneven graining (especially in high visible area)?

    is this what called wabisabi? I thought wabisabi has to be achieved through using the item and accepting the changing nature of all materials, in term of clothes fading, creasing, fraying, and then mending them to keep them usable. just like repaired several hundred years old wooden pillar with...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    collarless jacket feels much nicer to ride in than a collared jacket, especially band collar, the back part digs into the back of the neck, and the front is secured with a snap so it can't expand, basically the more you lunge over the fuel tank the less oxygen your brain gets, maybe that was the...

    you can curve the kidney panel , and also don't cut the front flat, but rather curve the front drop also, so the zipper remains untouched, basically give it a shirt hemline style

    Field Leathers

    that's a rear collar hole problem, can be caused by adding the shoulder drop but keeping the same rear collar hole like a flatter shouldered jacket, or perhaps the sleeve is slightly pre rotated forward but the rear collar hole is not cut more roomy for the normal position with arms down on the...

    Fit Check - Lost Worlds Horsehide A1

    the other 2 jacket has more squared shoulder/ sleeve construction, while the a1 seems like the sleeve is more spreading to the side, so when you bring your arm down there is material jabbing into the armpit, because comparing the 3 jackets, the sleeve on your A1 is the fuller so it can't be...

    Fit Check - Lost Worlds Horsehide A1

    it fits cool on you, I wonder how so when worn unbuttoned there are those diagonal creases from the peak of your neck down to your arm hole, is it caused by not enough shoulder slope? while usually LW has a prominent shoulder slope on other's LW jackets I've seen here.

    Jacket Collecting - Ever ask why?

    it has to be the liner material, leather jacket shell itself doesn't really make you warm PN, but if the liner is wool or quilted then the jacket is unwearable in hot climate like my country too, and also pockets, I like to have zip pockets on my jackets because just by wearing the jacket with...

    Jacket Collecting - Ever ask why?

    I think you misunderstood the point is one crosszip not one leather jacket, you know except for A1 there are no members here with one leather jacket. what I mean if I want a new denim jacket for example I will ask myself what's wrong with the ones I already have, I already have 1 indigo-black...

    Jacket Collecting - Ever ask why?

    I think if you have many of the same thing it devalue that thing for you, you see it just one of the crosszips or one of the coats, it doesn't feel special anymore. if you only have 1 crosszip, even when that jacket is not 100% perfect, you'll wear it anyway, and with time you probably love it...

    Opinions needed on an RMC J-24 fit

    Jacket Collecting - Ever ask why?

    not me, I don't like to have multiple items of the same thing unless there is enough differences to make them equally useful, I like to see my jackets get worn and I have limited chances to wear them due to my local climate, so because I love my cross zip I don't want to have another like it, I...
