    Wise words to live by (jacket related)

    I am saying this not to be a smartass or, worse, an ahole. I say this because it is true, and I care about wellbeing of my fellow TFLers. For a proper leather jacket fit, it really helps not to have a beer belly or otherwise extra pounds. Leather jackets are very unforgiving that way. So I...

    A unique jacket. More like a work of art really. Very cool.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Well, yes and no. That's a late 80s/early 90s Detroit. It was originally tan, like most of them. I first bleached it to a pale yellow and then dyed blue using a reactive dye. It's a unicorn... Lol. I have another one in tan, so I thought I'd have some fun, since the ones in navy blue go for...

    100%. There is something about a well-fitting peacoat, a certain elegance and presence. And this peacoat will outlive Trouser Bark and his descendants. Not so for many wool Navy peacoats out there because of moths.

    IH Japan could be getting extra payments from IHUK in exchange for exclusive overseas rights. Pure guess on my part; I don't know how that works on a global scale in terms of anti-competitive practices. I suspect it is fine; diamond cartels are doing quite well, thank you very much. And if there...

    Same with me. I have two pairs of IH canvas chinos - in navy and white. Both bought used for about $150 apiece, both built like tanks of heavy (yet soft), canvas. Buying new from the overpriced monopolist just did not make any sense to me.

    When buying a vintage leather jacket always ask about smells - perfume smell (damn near impossible to get rid of), cigarette or weed smell (difficult to get rid of outside of ozone treatment), or musty smell (easy to get rid of).

    Leather jacket sizing, too big or small?

    Bordering on disrespect. I can chalk this one up on ignorance, though.

    Leather jacket sizing, too big or small?

    ^^ ... and if you feel that "motorcycle jackets" are too heavy and stiff for you, a maker like Johnson Leathers, Aero or Thedi will let you choose a lighter and softer leather. Not a condom-soft stuff like John Elliott, mind.
