    AUTHENTICITY CHECK... Real McCoy's J-100

    Thanks for that, very appreciated. Those auction links bring up another question though! I noticed that both those jackets have measurements that are way smaller than their corresponding sizes on the RMC's website. For instance, that first auction link is a size 40 with shoulders a hair over...

    AUTHENTICITY CHECK... Real McCoy's J-100

    Hoping I could borrow the forum's expertise here... Does anything about this jacket read wrong to you Lords of Leather? Stitching, materials, label? Or does it look good? Just bought this, these are seller pics. It's described as new without tags. I've seen similar brown versions before, they...

    Would this warrant an exchange?

    Personally I am with both the OP and you on this... my mind knows that creases are part and parcel with the product, but my heart wants what it wants. If there's a good return policy and another jacket without the offending characteristic, what's the harm in an exchange? I'm unsure what part of...

    Would this warrant an exchange?

    Meh. I'll be in the minority here, but at the end of the day it's your $1000, Schott has a great return policy, if you want one without the crease, get one without the crease. It would bug me too. I'm all for wabi-sabi... just as long as the imperfections are applied by me to something...

    Fine Creek Leather

    Fine Creek jackets have a median price of $1950 at my local dealer. The RMC I just bought cost exactly that amount. A TFH I bought a month or so ago cost $2000. You won't get an argument from me that distributers drive up the cost of Japanese jackets. But at least in the case of RMC and TFH, I...

    Fine Creek Leather

    But Schott and Vanson cost pennies on the Fine Creek dollar. I think the comparison is kind of fair, no?.. You don't see that stuff out of TRM or TFH... Just an opinion

    FSOT Ship John Wills Jacket v2 Medium in Tan

    Yeah, as Bfd70 mentioned, most guys don't do the whole sold-out-everywhere-asking-double thing here. That said, where do you live that you need to layer in that beast? 24oz waxed twill with a mid-weight liner should keep you warm with nothing but a t-shirt down to several degrees below...

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    As a bartender, I take great offense to this. To clarify: many, many (too many) hipsters have somehow successfully gotten jobs that require them to mix drinks even though they have no idea what they are doing. They are not bartenders. Nor even "mixologists" (whatever the hell that is). They're...

    Flat Head Stand Collar Single Riders vs Real McCoy’s Buco J-100

    Nobody has hands-on experience with both a RM J-100 and a FH stand collar Riders?

    Flat Head Stand Collar Single Riders vs Real McCoy’s Buco J-100

    Haven’t seen the Field leathers in person. Seen many FCL in person, and imo, they are definitely a step down in both materials and construction compared to TRM or TFH…

    Flat Head Stand Collar Single Riders vs Real McCoy’s Buco J-100

    Fit aside (in general, both McCoy’s and FH fit me well), which cafe racer would you do?

    Aero has a new leather called Pinnacle

    Awesome, a new leather Aero can use to make jackets that look just okay on someone if they are A. Christian Bale in The Machinist or B. John Candy in any movie... and horrible on any body-type in between. I'm excited. Can't wait for a marked 34 with a 26" ptp and 22" shoulders that is still...

    What is going on with this site???

    This thread begin back in September and it had been slow for a month then. We’re approaching the end of November, and besides a little blip of fluctuating speediness, its now back to operating painfully slowly. Unless there’s some setting fix I’m unaware of, that’s 4 months, a third of a year...

    For Sale: NEW Himel Bros RAIDER BRITISH RACER

    Thanks! I’m no tailor, but I think the pit-to-pit looks correct? Regarding the length… is that measured from below the collar or is that including the collar? I’m guessing you’re a pretty tall dude! I’m 5’ 11”, but all legs. Appears the chest and shoulders would fit me well, while the arms...

    For Sale: NEW Himel Bros RAIDER BRITISH RACER

    Exactly what I'm looking for... like exactly. But I can't move on it without measurements... Pit to pit? Shoulders? length? Sleeve length? Please let me know! Cheers

    Comment by 'Bender' in article 'Classic Cocktails To Teach Your Bartender'

    Heh, this zombie post appeared on my headers page. Bartender here, I’ll weigh in… -A long history of vodka martinis dating back to nearly the (alleged) origin in 1911… I remember reading something about a wealthy person who’d lost a friend on the Titanic the following year in 1912, and they...

    Real Mccoys Buco BJ21002 Style King… Patina experiences?

    I wonder if I got the last pair made, then. Now looking at a deerskin jacket by The Flathead, a rider jacket with stand collar. Anybody have experience with The Flathead's deerskin? Obviously not as rugged as horse, but pretty decent in terms of overall durability?..
