    Real Mccoy J-22, Mouton Collar Fits

    The Real McCoy's JH-1 fits like that I think, tight shoulders and wide hem. Don't know about it being A shaped, but they are cut kinda straight without much taper. That's the only one of their lineup I can think of.

    Bronson workwear authenticity question

    I had an okay experience with Aliexpress refund, I ordered a shaving brush, I reckon it was sold out because the official store had run out of stock so they just sent me a wooden paddlepop stick. Reviews showed a trend, but I messaged Aliexpress support who gave me a prepaid shipping label to...

    Do try this at home: leather jacket repair tips

    Do you think such a process would be necessary in my instance? The zipper is not running smoothly, but looks relatively clean beside the zipper tape turning green and the brass has tarnished. It's an unused jacket and I think it's just been sitting in a closet for a decade or so so I don't...

    Do try this at home: leather jacket repair tips

    Thanks so much, I will try clean it up a little with a toothbrush then use some oil later and hopefully get it running smooth again. I bought the jacket with the understanding that the zipper was broken so really nice to be able to get it working even if with a struggle. I do wonder why the...

    Do try this at home: leather jacket repair tips

    Okay, so I removed the tape it zips up a few teeth now, thanks for the help! It does get stuck after a few teeth but I think the insertion pin seems pretty fine and in decent shape so not sure why the repair tape was used in the first place. I think it may need a bit of lubrication on the...

    Do try this at home: leather jacket repair tips

    Ah yes, spot on, I gave it a double check, what I thought was stitching was just a ripped part of the repair tape upon closer inspection, it wraps around the bottom and it looks like there are maybe 2 layers? I'll remove it and see what's what under there.

    Do try this at home: leather jacket repair tips

    Just scored a very nice deal on a NOS Lost Worlds G-1, only issue being the main zip no longer works. The left side when the zip ist not inserted is working fine, goes freely up and down, however when I try to insert the other side, it will not zip up. Upon closer inspection, it appears due to...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Really nice, would have bought it had I seen it earlier although I don't know if I'd be a 38 or a 40 in this model. There was another on Mercari I've been kicking myself for missing out on, that one was a sample for the Japanese market I believe, I wonder if this one is similar.

    Do try this at home: leather jacket repair tips

    Happens often to my boots, nothing I've found will remove them entirely, but I've found ways to make them less noticeable. The spots mostly went away mostly after I polished them lightly with med-brown wax. I like waxing my boots though, evening out the water spots was just a bonus, so if...

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

    I reckon it wouldn't hurt to bring it up with the vendor, their page says "All are new, unworn, and complete with factory warranty." Worst they can do is say no, personally I would be a little bit bothered with it. Fit looks fantastic by the way, hopefully you can come to an agreement with them.

    Rainbow Country Single Rider

    When I was in Japan, I had the opportunity to try all the Rainbow Country jackets (or most) that I have spent many hours looking at and researching online. Unfortunately, I don't think the fit is for me, I like very tapered waist, so I think that preference automatically cut out most of their...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    That's the category and usually doesn't mean anything, loads of sellers use categories for more eyes on their listing, e.g. I've seen many Freewheelers items listed under RMC, as well as Barnstormer and other RMC adjacent brands. This definitely looks to be a repro though, RMC J-25 looks like...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I've been looking at this one for a while, I even visited their shop in Osaka to try have a look at it last year but unfortunately they closed abruptly due to owner's kid being sick I saw a Trojan go for auction ending at about 300,000-400,000 ish yen ballpark, decent bit less than this one and...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    One callout, the RMC is excluded from the coupon sale. It's only for items under "Fashion > Mens" category, which makes it a little annoying since RMC has their own category so that when you go to checkout you can't apply the coupon. I wanted to get a Buzz Rickson's jacket but Toyo Enterprise...

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    Sorry, I wasn't referring to the Vanson you posted, I was referring to the Saint Laurent Paris example provided that uses EU sizing. I don't recall of Vanson having specific JP sizing outside of their collaborations with Japanese brands like Junya Watanabe/eYe CDG or Edifice (although those may...

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    I think most of these brands will use EU sizing for their clothing. This isn't US size 42, so the sizing makes sense to me.
