    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I heard Lucchese are not worth the price point these days, is that accurate? I liked their Jonah boot in suede (the closest I can get to a cowboy boot) but I went with some roughout Tecovas Dax, much cheaper but apparently not that far away in terms of quality (made in Mexico vs made in USA helps).

    Chinese leather jackets

    You can def trust Crush on Retro. However the sleeves on my jacket were really short.

    Aero Highwayman with a Plain Back?

    I think the regular Highwayman has a less pronounced one that sits lower and is more horizontal. The one in the Premier version looks like the McDonald’s logo.

    Aero Highwayman with a Plain Back?

    I’ve placed an order for a Premier Highwayman because the yoke at the back running down the sleeves is the coolest design detail in the back of any leather jacket I’ve seen (purely subjective of course), and it’s one of the main reasons I ordered one. So I wouldn’t omit that. If it’s the...

    Who makes (or can make me) a brown center zip without any chest pockets? Think the LL Corsair. And closer to $1k than $2k.

    Sleeves Too Short?

    Thank you, at least in that pic I like it better than the other browns I’ve seen from Aero. The fit looks fantastic IMO and the sleeve length wouldn’t bother me in the slightest.

    Sleeves Too Short?

    What leather is that? Sleeves look fine to me.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Those are interesting, big contrast between the formality of balmoral boots and casualness of denim.

    Hooked on jackets? Why?

    I on the other hand don’t think the monetary aspect is what determines whether it’s an addiction or not. The impact in one’s finances is just a side effect that might not be present for all. A Hollywood star can be addicted to alcohol and drugs with zero impact to their finances. It’s the...

    Chinese leather jackets

    After more than 2 and a half months of customs hell I think I’ll be getting my Crush on Retro jacket on Monday or Tuesday. I’m completely expecting to be disappointed, esp. since the jacket supposedly has some light pre-distressing (not readily apparent in pics) but I really like the design, a...

    Hooked on jackets? Why?

    It might not be for you. In my post I didn’t say everyone was addicted. I also said some who are won’t admit to it. I know I have a problem and I probably have a fraction of the jackets some do here (although I’m more addicted to boots, I’d say). And no, I don’t buy every jacket I come across...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Nice, how are you liking the boots? What last did you pick? I should be receiving mine next week.

    Hooked on jackets? Why?

    Addiction. You can try to find a million explanations and justifications, even philosophical or evolutionary ones, but it’s an addiction. You’re seeking the high of the next unboxing. Most people in here are addicts, whether they admit it or not. There’s just no sane reason to have 10+ jackets...

    Do you mind posting some pics of the jacket? Does it look like in the store photos?

    Double rider for non-motorcyclists - yay or nay? Which is your favorite?

    Luckily there doesn’t seem to be many guys here that think this type of jacket should only be worn by people who ride a bike, as those are annoying. I hope they never wore a pair of jeans without working in the mines first or an aviator jacket without a pilot license. That being said, the...

    What was the original purpose of the chest pocket that most cross and center zip jackets seem to have? Or was a purely aesthetic thing?

    Help! Quick opinion on Kreosote boots.

    On teacore vs not: I’m not a fan of teacore leather jackets (unpopular opinion here I suppose), but I ordered by latest boots (from Jakkrabbits) in teacore shinki horsehide, my first teacore purchase. It’s a mix of “I don’t dislike teacore in boots” (esp. as I ordered them with a brown edge) and...
