    There's not much more that I can add to what I already hadn't said. Your jacket is based on a pre-war lancer-front style car-coat that would get (shortened) to a jacket length. While generally always present in one form or another, the 1980's and 1990's saw a revival of this style of jacket -...

    That's exactly how you wash a leather jacket! Great job. The jacket itself is from 1980's and is of an European production but the style is indeed based on a much earlier German styles. Usually very tough, sturdy, heavy cowhide jackets that thrive on heavy use. Even if you aren't aware of...

    Any good tan cowhide oil leather jackets? budget - unlimited

    @Aloysius explained everything perfectly & I just want to add... All leather jackets will last you the same amount of time which is more than you will ever want them to. Yes and no. It does imply that the leather has molded to your shape; E.g. Where you bend your arms, the position of your...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Really cool. But no need to re-make it. Even in the best case scenario, the result will be the same but otherwise, I fear that most of the unique tiny touches I can see on this jacket, will become lost in translation.

    Lost Worlds’ founder Stuart interviewed

    They were good when you got yours so yours are good. I liked mine a lot. The second one was trash. I commented only on the mess that it was but in reality, the leather was the worst. Quite literally all the life my first HH LW had was gone.

    Lost Worlds’ founder Stuart interviewed

    Mass produced clothes is shit, no debate there but leather isn't meant to get wet. It is meant not to get harmed by getting wet but deliberately soaking your leather jackets can be harmful in a lot of ways. In how many depends on the quality of leather - Higher grade leather requires more care...

    Lost Worlds’ founder Stuart interviewed

    Oh come on. Dude acting up like he ain't just ripping off old brands. He didn't come up with a single thing and he don't have one single original idea in his mind, other than actually not cutting costs which might have been enough in 2005 but hey, the world moved on. Worse yet, all this trash...

    Yeah, that would all be cool if Stu wasn't a scamming turd. Sells me the jacket in the wrong size, made during an amateur hour, full of stray stitch holes and then ghosts me when I ask what the f. Slimeball knew I couldn't do anything from Europe to harm his "business" which is just an...

    Vintage Schott NYC Cowhide Leather Jacket?

    There's no reason not to like it as I'm sure it's a sturdy, good leather jacket. It certainly looks so. I was speaking strictly from a value / fandom standpoint. Outside of our little world, it's a jacket like any other. Absolutely enjoy it.

    Recommendations for men's dress shoes?

    I hate that term, "dress shoes". It implies exactly what Ton mentioned, some kind of footwear that you wear only at a certain occasions. It is a maliciously misleading term that doesn't describe anything in particular & implies that looking like a slob is normal and acceptable. I mean, George...

    I was about to comment on the good price. @BClayton, I know you don't want to be greedy but someone will just cop it & resell at twice as much. Or more. That's the irony with Ship John - They're selling that whole working man narrative while using the freaking Birkin bag business model. The...

    Vintage Schott NYC Cowhide Leather Jacket?

    @Manolito is right, it's a Schott licensed jacket for the European market. It's an older jacket too, from when Schott had absolutely no involvement with the production of these. They even clumsily admitted to not even knowing what was being sold under their license. The market is extremely...

    Real McCoy's steerhide question

    Tanning determines leather stiffness. Animal species is irrelevant. Bovine leather is generally thicker than horsehide. To an extent. 0.9mm leather can be made to be cardboard stiff and hold shape better than soft 2mm leather. Obviously though, the thicker the leather, the grater stiffness can...

    I am hardly a fan of that designer but the small run of these leather blazers they've done at some are good. It's fun on its own but the fit is where its at. But they've all but stopped making such more conventional looking clothes, switching to the straight jackets almost exclusively. And...
