    Altering waist in 4 oz HH jacket?

    I have tried to aftermarket fix a few jackets in my wilder consumption days and I advice you to either live with the jacket as it is or sell it. You will end up investing another 200 USD into a jacket you are unhappy with, it won‘t turn out as you wish, will continue to bug you and eventually...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Received this used Half-Belt in overdye horsehide from a fellow german lounger today. It’s a rack size M as far as I know. Hard taking decent pictures inside due to lighting but I tried to catch the color as good as I could.

    Legendary USA Black Stallion is Back

    G Get a Schott. The leather on this model is absolutely underwhelming.

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Very interesting leather. Looks great. I do agree I would want (and even expect) a two-way zipper on a mc jacket of that length. The range of motion on the other hand looks outstanding and it looks like a good fit so I think the lack of side laces does no big harm.

    Looking for Johnson Leather jackets 38-40

    Thanks for the link! Cool jacket but too long in the body for me and also quite close in style zo my perfectly fitting Langlitz Cascade. Beautiful jacket, that horsehide is straight up gorgeous. One size too small for me unfortunately.

    Looking for Johnson Leather jackets 38-40

    Nothing too biker-ish, other than that I am just feeling the itching again. Since wear my Johnson Leather jackets far more than my Vansons and others, it’s gotta be another Johnson! Horween, Bison, whatever specialty hides, even their regular naked cowhide if it is a nice jacket. Hit me up with...

    Fit Check Aero Everyman 38

    That back looks messy. I do recall that the bi swing back on my Teamster would look somewhat puffy initially too but in your case it is more than just that, the entire back looks crunched together. Also sleeves are too short. Last, you appear to have an athletic build but the jacket does not...

    Langlitz Cascade Unfit compared with TWC at last and Real Mccoys Buco J-31

    I cannot recall a single case in which Langlitz let down their customers, the amount of remakes Langlitz must have done to forum members alone is absurdly high, I cannot recall any case in which they would refuse a refund or even refuse a remake and told the buyer to shop elsewhere (which I...

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    I am 1.78m, 79kg, athletic. 17“ neck, 34“ sleeves in shirts, 39“ chest, 32“ waist. The Size 38 Enfield is a relaxed fit. Wouldn‘t want it any bigger. If the Royal is specced similarily on their website and you measure same as me which on first glance you do, I recommend you size down to 38.

    Johnny depp unfinished raw natural leather jacket from crock of gold.

    RRL or some Japanese maker. Doesn‘t Real McCoys do a jacket with these pouch pockets? I recall a model called something like Mobster, could be a different maker too..

    Aero Highwayman weight advice

    Pick any midweight hide you like best, they are all in the 2-3 oz range, it shouldn‘t make much of a difference. Lining does more for insulation and warmth than the leather, make sure you pick the thinnest one and definitely no wool.

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    Thank you everyone. The goatskin is great btw, it has a very luxurish velvetish hand to it, is extremely supple and yet incredibly heavy. I didn‘t weigh it but it is noticably heavier than my Vansons which are all in the 6-6.5 lb range. I went with their standard quilted lining, nothing fancy...

    It‘s a trainee made jacket, these come cheaper to begin with. Still excellent buy for the money!

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    I plan to do a more detailed review later on, but it feels due I post a few pictures.. in short I contacted Alan last fall about a customized G-1 project. I wanted to try the 4 oz heavy goatskin which @Canuck Panda was talking about and while I know A2/G1 style bomber jackets don‘t get much love...

    Himel Frobisher (positive)

    I did have somewhat of a watch addiction at some point, luckily I am the opposite of Mr Proper, my wrists are so tiny that any watch larger than 39mm on my wrist looks like an UFO landing on a twig. Never owned a Submariner for that reason. I do look a lot at the Tudor Blackbay 54 recently but...

    It‘s pointless to measure treatment intervalls by time, you should measure them by time worn. A jacket that only gets worn every other sunday sure won‘t need treatment for a few years. A jacket that is worn daily for hours, subjected to the elements, both water and sun, sure needs treatment...

    Well, it's been a long, long wait!

    Maan, a title like that and it ain‘t about Goodwear? You can‘t be playing with my expectations like that, come on! It‘s a nice pair of jeans though..
