    Pop Up Ads between forums - is this new?

    I do find the ads not too bad on the mobile experience. I don't mind the minor inconvenience as it pays for the Lounge to keep running. As long as it isn't egregious and distract from the primary experience it's all good in my books! Cheers

    She's got a nice collection of jackets, also sells through Instagram can probably work out a better deal there, although mostly all small sizes: https://www.instagram.com/garnerplusgus/

    Interesting, I wonder how much detail spec they provide to their factory regarding these sort of small construction details. Maybe their factory just makes it all with flattened seams unless specified otherwise, and I assume it would have to do with their reproduction like Peters and Leathertogs...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Cool jacket, nice grain on the leather and very simple design. Anyone have any clues as to the maker?

    Thanks for the photos! Are there any vintage jackets that even do skived seams then? Even this Peters Tailormade doesn't look skived, if there were makers that did way back I would have assumed the high end like Leathertogs or Peters. For some reason I thought you have said in the past that...

    Okay, I misread that, that makes a lot more sense and lines up with what I thought. I appreciate both nicely skived seams and also unskived seams that are true to vintage. Something like a Leathertogs is great with skived seams since I believe the vintage was made that way (?) with fine...

    Exactly, Vanson is the maker which turned on its head what I thought a good leather jacket was, originally I thought it was basically all about the stitching, skived seams, etc. but it's a whole lot more than that I now know. That also reminds me of this Windward jacket @tmitchell59 posted a...

    Inspiration LA 2023

    This event seems like what dreams are made of for vintage leather jacket lovers. I could only ever wish for such an event here in Australia. Seems like pretty much every jacket for show there is a gem, and being all together in one spot. Even if the jackets are out of the budget, just being able...

    I always thought makers like Vanson don't skive the seams? Is that correct? It seems to line up with my experience the seams at least feel a little bulkier to me.

    Been looking at this one for a while but the shoulder seems small and the chest quite big. Also bit of cracking on the shoulder.

    WTB - ELMC Roadstar or Vanson C2

    Just in case you weren't aware Vanson C2 is not a D pocket model. Vanson does make the Commando model and Cycle Champ (for Harley Davidson) which are D pocket models. Good luck with your search!

    Vintage Vanson Model E Highwayman size 44, early 80'

    Nice jacket GLWS! Never seen an E at this length, it looks like vintage C2 length!

    Vintage Vanson Model E Highwayman size 44, early 80'

    Mine same size is 19" shoulder, doesn't feel that narrow though because of the arm gussets/action back

    Vintage Outerwear: Threads of the Past

    Very interesting grain on this, reminds me of pig skin with the dispersed groups of pores.
