    One for those with unfinished horsehide jackets,

    I think those ugly vegtan wallets and belts we usually see on denim forum are the victim of over obenauff-ing the poor thing into dull rotten blackish brown, i think real patina on leather will be shiny and looks polished even when they become dark or even black-ish and this darkest parts won't...

    One for those with unfinished horsehide jackets,

    I think UV from sun rays is bouncing off everywhere direct of indirectly so the browning is pretty uniform initially, under the collar or the leather facing on the inside are the areas that usually stay paler for longer, natural leather is a journey, we just wear and hope it will arrive at the...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I think on a very dry open pores leather this effect will not happen as the water beads will get absorbed immediately and the wet mark is spreading and not defined, but in an semi water proofed leather maybe waxed or rich in oil, the water beads is staying on top as a bead for awhile but the...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    did you get drops of rain, so it's swollen in places where the drops were, I think once the fibers dry it will go back to normal.

    Hi new here. Is wearing a leather jacket basically an invitation for trouble?

    many here do, and leather was tumbled wet for hours on end to soften and color it through, some designer brands also wash their finished jackets in industrial washing machine to give effect not too different than jeans factory, washing it is just giving it helping hand to show more character and...

    Field Leathers Bespoke - what should I expect?

    I think the waiting time will make you crazy, but if you want something specifically Field leather's style, I think he has great collar shape and snug blazer like fit is my impression of FL and if you plan to just go with "the one" jacket then you go where your heart says. however if you just...

    Hi new here. Is wearing a leather jacket basically an invitation for trouble?

    wet jacket from snow or rain won't ruin it, I wash all my jackets without soap both in washing machine or by hand. I think naked hide will absorb all the water and become very heavy and even transfer the water to your clothes, that's the only downside, it won't ruin the jacket itself, however...

    Selvedge vs non denim

    when it is about 100% cotton jeans I never care about selvedge, even if there is, I won't cuff the pants to show it, but I care about how thick and heavy the denim is, I rather go non selvedge local or thai or chinese denim 18oz and heavier rather than selvedge japanese denim but under 16oz...

    Hi new here. Is wearing a leather jacket basically an invitation for trouble?

    cafe racers are the usual gateway leather jacket for most people, although to be honest they give off far more real biker vibe than MC jacket nowadays.

    Is the length on these pants right for boot cut jeans?

    would be harder for denim since they fade fast around the hem especially the part facing inside from contact with your boots and also puckers, so the fading is already making a specific pattern, when you open the hem and release the inside facing part to add to the length it will show this faded...

    Trucker-shorts! (shorter than Bermudas)

    I opt to wear thin long pants if the day is too hot for thick denim, I find ripstop cotton and linen is great as summer pants.

    honestly don't have shorts, not even for indoor use, and I live in equatorial tropics.

    Hi new here. Is wearing a leather jacket basically an invitation for trouble?

    in my country it is pretty safe to put on biker related patches on denim jackets, many are sold pre patched, because outlaw harley clubs don't really exist here, far too rich for common badguys, what is dangerous though is the logo of political parties especially nearing election year, or a...

    It's about time for a vest thread

    it looks cool, but the dark spots looks like blood seeping through from gun shot or stab wound
