    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Those branded garments jackets are a deal and quality is great. For the price, hard to beat. The police pattern in that jacket is great. My off brand Scott police produced pattern is similar. I like it because it is a comfortable jacket, specially if you are layering. Looking forward to the...

    Long (double) Riders?

    Love the jacket. Elegant and classy design, but badass all around. I will go with 32 on you. The jacket looks good on you longer. I am not a big fan on the short tight trends. This jacket is not a trend. It is a classic design. Longer coats were a tool back on the day. The way I see it...

    Buying: Lost Worlds or Johnson Leather jacket, preferably longer style

    Friend, you can go wrong with Johnson/LW. In the past, I used to own a Hungarian military od color hh coat. It is a cool coat. Now I am older and prefer a less military color/style coat. I believe 26"-30" is car coat territory. There are many short coats in the market, but the newer brand...

    How do you store your leather jackets

    I am beginning to think that they might be electrical. If they are strong enough for LW, then they are good enough for me.

    Lost Worlds’ founder Stuart interviewed

    Very clean. I just did a similar repair on my coach 30-year-old tan travel bag. Like a dummy that sometimes are, I overloaded it and the side sling attachment ripped off. In the states and in Mexico, they tried to charge me an arm and a leg for the repair. I call it rip off because they see...

    Was the ANJ3 officially ever issued in russet, or just seal….?

    I have one in seal. But, most I have seen are the seal. I also have an anj3a. It reminds me of the earlier 40s fit. The leather has that nice shine to it.

    How do you store your leather jackets

    I tried the roll type. It works well. Some members do use this method. Back on the day, I was told that some jacket makers will roll the jackets for several days before sending them. I also have used the rolled up method after a good condition. I get better results on those horse hide and...

    That is what I am talking about. Love that rack. I was thinking the very same! My daughter wants a clean approach and does love those NFS racks. I have one on my pantry. Of course, if full of junk. LOL. I am in love with that "Escape from NY" jacket.

    How do you store your leather jackets

    Friend, I am thinking of building a rack for my jackets. I am planing to use 3/4 or 1/2 black or galvanized pipe. Since I lack space, I am thinking in doing a different design than the typical industrial coat rack. My design will be a permanent design using the wall studs as a secondary...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Beautiful specimen. Even the belt looks original. How did you get it? Is there a story behind it? This is the third one I have seen in this size. I wonder how many in size 46 are floating around.

    Star Glove Co by Lost Worlds is best ever

    What ever you write... It is cool with me. The lining has nothing to do with the length of the jacket. Now that you share an image of the jacket, it looks to me like a 22. Not a 22.5. Weather is the length is, 22 to 23 is considered short in my book. As others have stated in previous...
