    Soon, I will have some nice red wood that will repurpose from a wooden patio I am going to demolish. My plan is to make my own hangers with the wood. Likewise, my daughter went to the second hand store and purchase a box of Nordstrom's' wood hangers. I have used such hangers for a very long...

    My first cross zip… critique this fit

    The jacket looks good on you. But you are limited to only t-shirt. Personally, I like to rock my shirts with t-shirts. Lately, I have been using vintage wool plaid long sleeves. Not a "bato loco" look but nice and trim. For your first x zip jacket, you have done very well. Rock that thing...

    Vintage Vanson Model B, would you consider this "cracking"?

    Just a little of that fat on the dry area. A good all jacket cleaning with a horse hairbrush never hurts the leather. Removing dust and other unwanted oils, smoke, ect. It will help the leather stay healthy. Just a little tallow goes a long way.
