    How patient/disciplined should you be when waiting for a dream jacket to show up for sale?

    Dream jacket, as such, doesn't exist. The moment you acquire it, you wake up, realizing that it was never the jacket you were after but serenity. Peace of mind. Moving on. Doing that one thing that would shorten the list of the things that would make you a better person, so that you could move...

    Lost Worlds CHP HorseHide Jacket

    You're obsessing over nothing here and are making your life difficult for no reason. Not to mention the money you're wasting. 50 years old, budget leather jackets from Pakistan that have worn daily on a motorcycle, are holding up just fine so there's really no need to worry about a leather...

    Dating and restoring this Sears Hercules FQHH jacket

    Good eye. I thought the wear seemed artificial but I know they definitely haven't been doing that back when the jacket was made. Looking at it, the jacket might've been used as a movie costume. That's exactly how the distressing looks like. . .

    Dating and restoring this Sears Hercules FQHH jacket

    First, thoroughly wipe it down with a towel to remove dust, grime, etc. after which you might condition it though I honestly don't know what with as not much seems to do anything at all. Applying any of the grease based leather conditioners will darken it & considerably so by the look of it...

    Help needed: EMS/ USPS packages lost - Rainbow Country and Freewheelers items.

    I am so very sorry to hear about the lost packages (and I find it really strange that the post cannot figure out where it could've been left as just the list of deliveries from that day would've narrowed it down, especially in a small town). Plus it must've been someone near by since ideally...

    I agree absolutely but the belt is deliberate. I love to ruin everything with some off detail.

    Alter a Vanson Assoc White Label?

    These old Vanson jackets aren't worth all this work and the price of having Vanson redye it is going to cost you more than the jacket did. They're fun acquisition if there isn't any work involved but for the kind of project you intend of making this jacket, you're better off finding one that is...

    I like the diversity. Plus the dog is a he, his harness is blue and the leash is pink. It brings people great confusion because they are never sure of the gender, which I enjoy.

    What’s a fair price for a good Cal jacket?

    Fair price, even on the lower range, though there is always a chance one will pop up for much less.

    FS: Levi's / Aero Leathers 'Ruff 'n' Ready' CXL FQHH Horsehide Aviator/Biker Leather Jacket (M)

    @jeepTj98 , I think they based this on the Bootlegger, though this jacket is much more refined. I don't see why they shouldn't do the collar the same way by default, instead of just cutting it in straight lines. Leather is spectacular for sure.
