    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    It's true. I personally aren't preoccupied with how a leather looks - as long as it's a darker brown I'm ok with it. My main concern is if it too heavy and how will it wear. Most leathers are pretty much interchangeable as far as I'm concerned, not that they look alike, it's just that I don't...

    Aero 50’s midnight blue ass kicker Halfbelt

    Gorgeous work, Tony. I love a well specced Aero. But I am too nervous to grow to love her lest she be taken from us...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Nice. What kind of Denim chore jacket is that?

    Goodwear Modoc - My Precious!

    That's a hell of a jacket. Very beautiful work.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    That's a good point. The disheveled, slightly grubby look really makes it pop I guess it looks less like a pristine costume. I wonder what the lighter pants are, you see them all the time do you think they are wool flannel or cotton drill pants in a bone colour?

    Thanks for the measurements. Probably about the right length if I were five feet nine.

    Interesting. I'm six two, I tend to wear a back length that is 26.5 inches, which is only an inch longer than yours at five ten. This falls just over the back pockets of my mid rise jeans. I wouldn't want anything shorter than this.

    Interesting. They don't look short but the illustrations are limited and the pants are... missing. :D

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I think he is selling mainly to a mainstream market who want shiny new jackets and have limited or no knowledge of hides or patterns.

    I'm of Dutch background. Quick look on line (Scientific American) says people have grown 4 inches in the past 150 years but not so much in America, mainly throughout Europe and Asia. You learn something every day. Makes no difference to my point if people are no taller today. If the average...

    Top right photo looks long- just as I wrote. But longer rise is partly the reason.

    It is personal preference. Good point. To me the period photos always make the jackets look longer. Must be the high rise pants. Notice too the back length of jackets is marked as 25.5 inches. Given the average guy would have been around five nine, that is a pretty long jacket, surely? Often...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Not sure I would ever buy a deer jacket but the hide, even if it is corrected, looks good to me. My issue with 5 Stars goat hide is that it feels kind of dry and fragile compared to the many goat jackets I have owned by other makers. I guess only a few years will tell.

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    Lauren's phoney WASP traditional aesthetic (Fran Lebowitz is hilarious on this) never quite took off here but we did absorb some of the preppy style by osmosis without knowing what it all meant. There were Sloan Rangers in Britain and we borrowed a little from that look too. It was nice to move...

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    That's very true. It's curious what people focus on. Younger folk sometimes ask me about 1980's and say things like, "They must have been really cool, huh?" But all they are thinking of is a few bands that were big, three movies and a hairstyle or two. The 1980's as a decade are really don't...

    Most overrated movies?

    For whatever reason, gangster or mob films are not my thing. I just don't care about the characters or situations. The Godfather movie was a masterpiece next to the potboiler novel, but that's mainly about Gordon Willis' luminous, chiaroscuro cinematography. It looks great, but for me it's a...

    The 80s, myth and reality?

    I think we all know that and it's a salient point. But I guess the OP's question was addressed to people who lived through the 1980's. I didn't live through the 1930's. Answers to these sorts of questions are impressionistic follies, aren't they? If I were a young jackaroo living on a cattle...

    How do I care for and store my jacket????

    The boss at Pecards certainly stated this at COW the Indiana Jones forum. It's also relabelled as Harley Davidson leather dressing. Same exact stuff.

    Buzz Rickson or Real Mccoys

    Great advice. I have been tempted to get one too and I would love to find a good condition issued Kersey version. They will last a couple of lifetimes.
