    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Probably the closest I could compare to would be Branded Garments and Natal/Natel. Except the leather is not as heavy.

    Kinda Free Natural Chromexcel Belt

    I'm looking forward to enjoying the belt. It's certainly going to be one of the better values in my closet, that's for sure. I know that businesses have other expenses to consider: advertising, taxes, insurance, and all kinds of other things. So it's not surprising that a hobbyist/craftsman...

    Show your natural leather

    No, I haven't applied any conditioners to these jackets. I did not own the Schott or the BK from new, so I don't know what may have been done with them before I owned them, but I haven't applied anything to them.

    WTB - ELMC Roadstar or Vanson C2

    The C2 is a great choice for a cross zip, especially if you actually ride. Vanson really know how to make a jacket that fits well for riding.

    Vanson Raid Fit

    You lifted too much weights. Athletic guys often find it harder to fit themselves properly into clothing designed for the average physique. It's a downside of being extraordinary. I bet if you gave them measuremnts for your chest, shoulders, biceps, forearms, and waist, they could fit you a...

    Patent leather... once made from beetles!

    Stitching together enough beetle hides to make even a pair of shoes must have been extremely tedious and required great skill.

    What's your opinions on cuff cinches?

    I like the look. As a practical matter, they are a bit difficult to use. Adjusting them one-handed is not easy, so I tend to take the jacket off, adjust, and then put it on. Which means I can't adjust them as tight as I might be able to with my arm in the sleeve, or get them fitting right...

    It has a YKK main zipper replacement, looks like it was done well. Lots of grain, and a good price.

    Freewheelers worth it

    I didn't see that this was directed at me, but I'm not sure who else you would have been addressing. I don't think I've ever described myself as a whale, so I'm not sure whether you were or weren't.

    Freewheelers worth it

    You don't have to have owned one to have an opinion, but I would consider the opinion of an owner to be more valid, since they have actual experience. Of course it could work both ways, the owner convincing themself it has to be worth it because if it's not then they've wasted a lot of money...

    Freewheelers worth it

    I have to wonder how many of the opinions that they're not worth it are coming from people who have owned something from FW, vs people who have convinced themselves that they're too expensive to be worth it because they are out of their price range.

    Freewheelers worth it

    It's a lot of money so you should definitely think about it, but the quality and the design is definitely there.

    Sears Vertical Zip Map Pocket motorycle jacket

    I do like mine. I wish another maker would introduce a repro. Lost Worlds is rather pricey, and their design isn't quite a copy, more an interpretation, of the original pattern. I've been wanting to get mine remade but it'll have to wait for my budget.

    They're Japanese. Price is fair, I think. But not great.

    We MUST find Blinky, Pinky, Clyde, and Sue's jackets, and reunite them.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I don't ship anything internationally that I sell on eBay, but I'm strongly considering double-listing my items, and making a listing for domestic customers at my normal price, and then making a listing that ships to Japan only, for 2-3x my normal price. For Langlitz this would definitely make...
