    Does this jacket detail bother anyone else?

    My guess is the buckle of the belt is designed to be on the center of the jacket, no matter how more or less the jacket is cinched on the side panel, if the belt is connected to the back panel it will vary wildly for each wearer it can be far too long for a thin waisted person, and the buckle...

    best leather pants under $300 used

    Thanks Will, so this chemical is able to lift stains and gunk, I wonder if as a individual consumer we can get this thing in small quantity to spot clean stuff, or perhaps it is the same thing we buy as car interior cleaner?

    do you dare to commit to wear a single jacket for a month through all your waking hours?

    best leather pants under $300 used

    yeah, before being mentioned here in this thread I didn't know it has removable liner, of course with removable liner then it is non issue about hygiene, from the motorcycle theme I kind of see they are bulky and make a lot of sense since they are having a removable liner, but the leather pants...

    Leather M-65 Field Jacket (by FCL), anyone?

    the waist drawstring is on our true waistline (approximately if the jacket bought more or less in our true size) so when cinched it will give a nice taper toward the waist and hemline, but it would wrinkle alot, I'm curious how it looks on leather

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

    they work as a small team, the guy who took my order is the one who make pattern out of my drawing and cut, there is a also female employee who sew, 2 other guys who install hardware, and a lady supervisor who manage them, the owner was rarely in contact with the client. thanks man :)

    Leather M-65 Field Jacket (by FCL), anyone?

    this is lovely, I love my current cheap m65 repro, my most worn jacket this past month. I don't know if leather will over power the waist and hem cords and or would crumple weirdly when the waist cord is adjusted, what works on much thinner fabrics doesn't always translate well on superlative...

    suddenly I got a lot more appreciation toward my denim jackets

    wow this vid shows type 2 denim jacket being made from patterning to finish in real time, best movie I have seen this year, I realize just a simple innocent request of 2 tones thread colors, or 2 different gauge threads would have made triple investment in sewing machines and perhaps manpower to...

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

    i can collect the patterns of my old jackets though, and I told him if he moves on working with another workshop or open his own tailor to give me news, and perhaps I can learn to scale my patterns, since I have suggested to them multiple times to scale my patterns and sell them in standardized...

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

    it's not likely that I will ever have another custom leather jacket like I had enjoyed in past 10 yrs, since this workshop in my city that has been in business for more than 30 yrs is closing due to the owner losing money from perhaps another business venture, I heard this from the guy who...

    Freenote Cloth Riders Jacket Release

    I actually like the back shoulder gusset, and I like the rivets on the front pleats as I did the same when ordering a custom type 2 denim jacket here in my country, i just don't like the straight boxy body it makes people look barrel shaped, perhaps this is a nod to chore coat aesthethic? I see...

    Jacket unCollector

    if there is only one jacket that works for all at least style wise, then it is a buttoned leather jacket for me, perhaps a leather trucker in special color that I won't get bored probably dark sage green that once the the base leather color darkens it would evolve into olive brown green

    Tall knee high boots for men?

    when I was a kid I always dream to wear high riding boots with series of tabs and buckles on the side like old motorcross boots, I love Fist of The North Star manga and they all wore those boots in post apocalyptic setting.
