    JELADO 24/7 Leather Sports Jacket

    I think there’s a chance that this one is made by Electric Leather Studio. https://www.instagram.com/p/C_j3pDfv5R2/?igsh=MW9vYXlsajRpMzQ1ag== I find it kinda boring, at least compared to ELS own designs. This one is my jacket, which I find very much non-boring. :)...

    Leather jacket sizing, too big or small?

    If you post this then you’re not happy, so unless you’re drowning in money then return and keep looking, or try to size down. I never really followed John Elliott but they used to do skinny stuff, and if the model pic is an indication of intended fit then it seems to be a bit Hedi-esque, i.e...

    Celebrities jackets

    I wish I look a bit like comic-book version of Brad Pitt when I’m 60, zero chance of it happening though. And he literally dressed as a yellow chicken to promote a local fast food chain before making it big, it’s not like he was drowning in money since he was born. Yeah he’s probably had some...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Who’s the maker?

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    I’m not sure why there aren’t more simple center zips like that Mercury. Particularly every maker seems to be compelled to add a useless chest pocket, with some dangling silver chain or even worse, a leather pull. Simple is good. Actually I’d make it even simpler and get rid of the placket.

    Viberg - any other horrible experiences?

    Sure, I’d hate this in a pir of dress shoes for example (luckily I very rarely wear those), but I think it goes well with this style (which some call “artisanal” or “avantgarde”) and quite often there’s mismatches like this. But I admit I’m full of contradictions because for example I really...

    Viberg - any other horrible experiences?

    Totally! Anyone wanna guess what the leather is? Drum roll… Guidi! Unlined, too. Boots are not made by them (although I do have Guidi boots) and these are among my favourites. I do see how some people would hate this though.

    Viberg - any other horrible experiences?

    Also, tongue in cheek but I find funny that in this forum: Look at the grain in my leather jacket, isn’t it amazing! Eeeeew look at the grain in those leather shoes, disgusting!

    Viberg - any other horrible experiences?

    As I mentioned in a previous message, I do think you should have the right to return the item, no questions asked (I did say that that crease wouldn’t bother me one bit, because it’s true). And in my message above I say it’s Viberg’s fault to use a type of leather that might not be what the...

    Viberg - any other horrible experiences?

    Ha! So it’s Guidi leather? That makes this post funny because Guidi literally puts their boots in the washing machine after they make them (which makes them run small, as they shrink). That along with object dyeing and the “sock with a sole” look is basically their trademark. That’s why they...

    Viberg - any other horrible experiences?

    Whereas I do think returns should always be accepted, no questions asked (with some exceptions, like MTO/MTM, or final sales), that crease wouldn’t bother me one bit. Viberg last time I checked do work boots and the like, it’s not like they’re dress shoes from Carmina.

    Post pictures of your jacket collection

    That Guidi coat is something, who’s the maker? AFAIK Guidi has never made jackets, they stick to shoes, bags, belts and little else.

    That’s a lot of wall.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    cbez is really against center back seams (that’s fine, I don’t like chest pockets in center zip jackets, for example) but yeah saying they’re there only for cost cutting reasons is wrong IMO.

    Field Leathers

    Only jacket from this brand that’s caught my eye, and it’s a great price.

    Field Leathers

    All it matters is whether he delivers or not. If he does, who cares what memes he posts in Instagram, really (and I’m not a customer nor intend to be in the near future).

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    What is it about a jacket that when open there’s a wide gap between both sides? I see jackets with a wide gap in some other guys with a similar build to mine that makes me think “there’s no way that can be zipped up” but then they can zip it up just fine. It seems that the jacket moves towards...

    Electric Leather Studio

    Pretty sure it is! The jacket arrived yesterday, and it’s awesome. Construction and leather seem great to me but I’m not super picky about either and don’t inspect every stitch, I like leather jackets mostly because of how they look. That’s why I was drawn to ELS as I couldn’t find anything...
