    Any good tan cowhide oil leather jackets? budget - unlimited

    @ton312 already gave you the answer to that. Get a Schott or a Vanson. They are known quantities, are designed to have patterns that fit a wide variety of people and look good, and are available in a wide range of leathers. You can find most styles between their collections. Not the specific...

    Glock in Jacket Pistol Pocket (?)

    Oh I know the crime well. I meant I'm shocked he was issued his CCW given it's the Bay.

    Any good tan cowhide oil leather jackets? budget - unlimited

    Getting a fully custom jacket is a bad idea in the vast majority of cases. People here used to be super polite and praise people's fit pics whenever a new exorbitantly expensive jacket came in, but I think we've moved away from that. Even in the case of my Johnson jacket, they made me a pattern...

    Haruf Jackets: any knowledge and wisdom from the FL?

    Seems like a mall brand from Japan. Could be okay (their department store level stuff is generally much nicer than ours) but I wouldn't treat it as some kind of premium import good.

    Any good tan cowhide oil leather jackets? budget - unlimited

    I mean personally, having bought many leather jackets and essentially lost money on the whole thing as we all have, if I were to go out aiming to spend $4k on a jacket, I would just get my ass over to one of the top tailors in London (or depending on style preferences, another city or shop) to...

    I didn't realize anyone could carry in Alameda County! :D

    Lewis doesn't make anything like you're looking for. What Mads is wearing in your photo is a (probably vintage) German style jacket. Lewis will make you a British motorcycle jacket with a 70s aesthetic. Nothing wrong with that (most of us love Lewis) but it's about as far from what you're...

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    Seems to be Appalachian inspired. I’d grab it.

    New Budget M-65?

    Okay this is super helpful. I’m about to fall asleep but I’ll get back to you tomorrow.

    Any good tan cowhide oil leather jackets? budget - unlimited

    Speaking as someone who has bespoken many suits, both two and three-piece, it's not the same thing. First of all, custom leather jackets rarely fit any better than RTW in the right size, because the nature of leather is fundamentally different to that of fabric. They usually do not even show...

    Any good tan cowhide oil leather jackets? budget - unlimited

    People who get an expensive custom as a first leather jacket almost invariably look back at the thing a couple of jackets down the line and think "What a missed opportunity" (if not a complete POS) because everything from fit to design to material is off from mature preferences.

    Why do you need to spend a minimum of $1000 lol

    How many of you guys ordered from the Aero sale?

    Yeah it went up like 300. I had hoped to order one to replace the Ridley Indian Ranger (which I didn't intend to be a Ridley). Doing it over I'd go black jerky over blackened vicenza though.

    New budget M-65 Field Jacket?

    Yes it's kind of funny how the guy had him do a sort of old fashioned American half-belt instead of something more traditional to the region, but it's harder to do the half-belt so I think that speaks to his abilities.

    New Budget M-65?

    Okay! That makes things both easier and more interesting because there are a ton of field jacket options in different materials and fits which I think you'll like and perhaps find even more interesting than the M-65. What would you like to wear it with? Do you like to cinch in a jacket waist...

    New budget M-65 Field Jacket?

    Found his name and it turns out someone from TFL has gone to the same tailor. Beautiful work!

    Recommendations for men's dress shoes?

    While I love co-respondant/spectator shoes, are you wearing them with evening dress?

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

    There's a lot of olive oil involved.

    Long (double) Riders?

    I think an important thing is for us to all abandon the "rider" terminology that originates in Japanese people who don't speak English. Case in point: even half belts are "single riders". Essentially it's an Engrish term for "Single breasted" and "double breasted", which is both more useful and...

    Long (double) Riders?

    Longer works better here. The design makes me think of things like Norfolk jackets and safari jackets, which were suit jacket length, so they cover the rear. The zippered side vents reinforce that belief.
