    Modern day Lewis Leathers quality issue.

    From what I have been following the Lewis post around the web, things like these are happening more often (still rare) than a few years back. I suspect there are some changes in their production lines as well as their direction. I understand that they are now selling a lot more to Asia these...

    Modern day Lewis Leathers quality issue.

    When did this happen? I presume it was a recent thing?

    Vanson Model B opinion

    Nice looking jacket! Would love the see the lining after your wash. I am pretty sure the Vanson comp. leather can easily take any washing as I wore mine a couple of times under monsoon rain. What I suggest is to get the Vanson leather balm (more like lotion) to preserve the leather after the...

    Modern day Lewis Leathers quality issue.

    It looks to me that the jacket has the gold sleeve lining. I was told that is a lot more flimsy than the standard black nylon fabric. Is this a Tight fit version of the Corsair?

    Real McCoy's not expensive enough for you? Try this...

    Now, to be fair for some brands, here is Eastman's latest offering. The pricing is meanwhile being discussed in another jacket forum. They are asking £400 for this N4.

    Real McCoy's not expensive enough for you? Try this...

    Wow, I have checked the forum for two days and this thread ends up like this...... from a Visvim N3 to whether RMC is overpriced? Well, as you can see on my profile, I am based on the other side of the pond. Just like you guys have easier access to Vanson/LW or whatever Thurston has on offer...

    Real McCoy's not expensive enough for you? Try this...

    I think there should always be a 'cut-off' point. I was taught by my folks to buy quality stuffs, not essentially the most expensive ones though. Sometimes you have to wonder how much differences a RMC Roughwear A-2 (£1745) and a ELC Roughwear A-2 (£825) have. As for the Japanese, I think people...

    Real McCoy's not expensive enough for you? Try this...

    The infamous Visvim from Japan! Somewhere in HK a while ago, we had one guy showing off his jacket in a forum, insisting how authentic his A-2 was.... Enjoy!

    Eastman Californian chinese look alike.

    The pictures are not very consistent themselves. The demo guy's jacket seems to be a lot stiffer than the 'supposedly' on sale jacket. But then again, it doesn't look too bad, provided that 'what you see if what you get'.

    Leather Jackets in China : Fabric Markets, Taobao, Vintage, and Custom Leather Shops

    Speaking about the Chinese words, we still use the full Han characters in Hong Kong and Taiwan where as in China, the use of the simplified characters (handicapped characters as we call it), was introduced by the infamous Mao for the less educated public at that time. Traditionally in Hong Kong...

    Leather Jackets in China : Fabric Markets, Taobao, Vintage, and Custom Leather Shops

    Yes, they have the fastest trains running, but fastest doesn't mean safest, you know what I mean, and God knows when these trains will break down. I believe people in HongKong can tell you how 'rubbish' their made in China train carriages are compared to the good old made in England ones. As for...

    What's the deal with sponsor patches?

    I think it is very difficult to compare between sponsors' logos with squadron patches, especially among military jacket collectors (here at the forum). Some serious people suggested that you have to earn your patches before you sew it on your jacket, some repro owners think the patches actually...

    Question about Belstaff

    I have recently acquired a Goodwood Sports and Racing Ronnie jacket made by Belstaff (almost new). I remember it was introduced some time in 2013. The jacket itself is made in Italy, probably when they were still under the administration of that Italian company. The jacket is well made, with...

    What's the deal with sponsor patches?

    I must confess here, I do own the House jacket. I see those logos more as decorations more than anything else. I certainly wound not want to wear something like a MotoGP full replica suit, even when I am riding.

    Real McCoy buco j 100 vs Eastman j 100 vs aero j 100 ?

    Just tell you wife that you are going on a business trip to Japan, tickets are not expensive from HK to JP these days. Buying online is risky, especially with expensive jackets.

    Real McCoy buco j 100 vs Eastman j 100 vs aero j 100 ?

    Sounds like you guys have been having fun checking out all the J100s around. For a start, I own an earlier Diamond J100, with Horween leather rather than the Shinki. I also personally handled both the RM J100 and the ELC version in their pop-up store. Regardless of the hides used, I think the...

    Negative comments about your jackets from others

    Looks like furniture? Well, I got similar comment about my screechy A-2, sounds like a sofa, smells like a sofa.... according to my other half.... Well, I think it is inevitable to avoid the subject of war, most of our jackets were uniforms of soldiers, either direct clones or carrying similar...

    Eastman 50. Cal A-2

    Yes, the colour is phenomenal. Looks to me that this one is still the old steer, isn't it?
