Celebrities jackets
I didn't think of that one, I wonder if the would make it with just two colors, like blue and white or red and white. I would give them another shot, I had terrible luck with my timing, I'm sure they are back on track now Bates would be another one, I've always liked how they style the back...- Damon141

Celebrities jackets
I like this Goldtop easy rider 72 for some reason, gives me retro vibes and it's always cool to see real jacket brands in movies and not just Lambskin tailored for the movie jacket. You can see how stiff and bulky the jacket is compared to the normal movie jackets which are as thin as shirts...- Damon141

Freewheelers worth it
So many people say they can feel the difference between the Freewheelers shinki versus other manufacturers. This goes for people focused on Japanese clothing in general and even guys like 58panhead which from his collection is clearly open to any leather from any maker. I hope I get the chance...- Damon141

Himel Bros jacket, 1st winter update
There is no doubt that many members will choose not to post here for various reasons but would they buy a Himel after seeing how he handled an obviously flawed jacket leaving his shop. That's not even mentioning his rants on IG or YouTube where he says worse things about me and this community...- Damon141

Himel Bros jacket, 1st winter update
When I talked with Dave on the phone he was a bit brash at first but after I started asking about vintage jackets and other makers he loosened up and shared a great deal of info with me. We all talked for like an hour one time, talking about working out and all kinds of things. That's what...- Damon141

Himel Bros jacket, 1st winter update
You have been very vocal on the stitching standards you expect so I'm sure you would have spoken up if you had my jacket Exactly, what is the big deal. People complain in my business and we just give an apologetic response on google and offer a refund You don't see RMC, Thedi, Freewheelers...- Damon141

Definitely not your fault he acts this way. These errors are his and his employees fault when they let them leave the shop. Money over everything- Damon141

Himel Bros jacket, 1st winter update
Definitely a class system for remakes, Jeo clearly has a substantial collection and was a repeat Himel customer, Carlos was offered a remake and one search on TFL will reveal he has been collecting for years and owned everything under the sun. This poor guy had his Himel Imperial adjusted...- Damon141

Himel Bros jacket, 1st winter update
He had about as much grasp on the definition of Bullying as he does bespoke. I guess he thinks bullying means showing pictures of HIS WORK, if it was acceptable stitching then I'm sure someone on this board would have spoke up.- Damon141

Footwear to go with our jackets
Yeah the sole I had mixed feelings on, I thought maybe a Danite would have a slimmer profile but it rains a lot here so it is functional. Black, I was actually thinking about a pair of black Chelsea boots that were dressy enough for a suit but could pair with jeans. Allen Edmonds and Grant...- Damon141

Himel Bros jacket, 1st winter update
It was just like Will Zach said, my shape is an issue so I knew I had to go made to measure. I also really liked the design of the Kensington with the subtle details which came from an earlier J100. The double stitching and welts/piping along zippers. I liked the look of the Aero Board...- Damon141

Himel Bros jacket, 1st winter update
When I went with Himel (June '22) I had already entered the waiting list for a Route 66 Racer from Fields (Feb '22) so given I had over a year I figured it was June and I still had 6-7 months to get a jacket for this past winter. Originally it was Lewis with the Super Sportsman but it f you...- Damon141

Himel Bros jacket, 1st winter update
Just from reading there is always a chance of a Faux bespoke to not fit or drape as well as off the rack. Some makers are better than others but there's always a risk, but a respectable maker will always make it right if it doesn't work, we have seen it with Langlitz and Thedi but there was a...- Damon141

Himel Bros jacket, 1st winter update
These two mentioned were from DeeCee style right? I'm thinking they took a little more time than normal considering these were going to be stocked jackets just like the pocket on the Brycelands video you can see him showing and talking about the neatness. They were nice on you especially the...- Damon141

Himel Bros jacket, 1st winter update
That's the thing, even the cheapest jackets at the mall don't have these mistakes. He can't use the one off custom made excuse because this is a Kensington which he has been producing for over a decade, so the machinist has surely made many and on the same equipment.- Damon141

The TFL Spirit
TFL members really showed their support for my Himel Bros thread, I do appreciate each and everyone that posted even if you didn't agree with the way I handled it, we did agree that my jacket was made to sweatshop standards. TFL is great because it introduces people to products and makers that...- Damon141
