    Addict clothes leather vs Lewis leathers

    My impression is that Addict didn't pander to the Japanese fashion fit the way Lewis Japan did with the "T" line, which bizarrely "slims" things by making the shoulders smaller and the hem much wider. Rather it's the classic pattern but tagged bigger. My very slim and athletic friend in Tokyo...

    Any thoughts on wrinkly horsehide

    Indeed as the bit you quoted next laid out, this isn't just Mushman's policy as a dealer, but Rainbow Country's patterning method.

    Why do thick leathers keep getting recommended?

    This just reminded me of when some influencer channel did a video with a tour of the Schott factory and interview of Jason Schott, and it kept cutting to the guy driving his Porsche up and down the street, and stopping to explain to Jason how a good leather jacket is iconic like his Porsche 911...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Yeah I paid much much more for my Johnson than my vintage Cal, but the latter was too short.

    Addict clothes leather vs Lewis leathers

    Lewis might allow that as well; most MTO makers do.

    Correct.

    Addict clothes leather vs Lewis leathers

    If you're in the US, remember that the Lewis price is 20% lower than you see on the site.

    Double Helix Works?

    Cool CHP!

    Why do thick leathers keep getting recommended?

    I am a bit confused by this particular point, not because Shinki is a bad leather but because by no means would I call it anything but a stiff, fairly thick horsehide. Anyway if anyone is looking for a laugh, there’s a Reddit workwear guy whose boots are literally injuring him and he’s angry at...

    Quality of recycled leather for clothing(such as leather pants)?

    These questions should be in the ask a question topic, not new posts.

    Why do thick leathers keep getting recommended?

    I felt like stiff leathers were more in the spirit of the question than thick because there are some thick buffalo, goat, cow, etc leathers that are blanket-soft.

    Why do thick leathers keep getting recommended?

    No harm done. I was also replying to something slightly different from the original topic question, by thinking of stiff veg-tan leathers (including midweight) in general, not necessarily the thickest, so that probably made my post less clear than it could have been. For most of my friends deep...

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    I would expect that, like most of these places, it'll be warm and well made but not especially accurate. I think I'm probably going to sell one of my own RAF sheepskins, so that might be an option for you depending on your size.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    These are fantastic trousers. If you want some recommendations for where you can get knits, trousers, etc that would complement both workwear and tailoring when you're there, let me know.

    Why do thick leathers keep getting recommended?

    I wasn't talking about CXL specifically except at the very end. I was just talking about the emphasis on tea core, "natty veg tan", break-in, the need to start stiff, etc-- things that, by the way, I've by no means been immune to. In fact your last point is really the best illustration of my...

    Samurai jeans belt - how thick would be too thick?

    I think this is where I've benefited from having a very English menswear background lol. Belts are inherently a casual thing to me so when people talk about belt colour matching and such, in my head it's like "if you have to wear a belt, it didn't matter" though of course I do understand that in...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    I was with you until the boots are uncomfortable thing lol. I’ll take shoes/boots with a cork inner over any sneakers.

    Why do thick leathers keep getting recommended?

    Raw denim. Workwear culture has this notion of the heavier the denim the better, break in is everything, getting sicc fadez, etc. (Even though those super-heavy denims are usually ahistorical for the period workwear looks are usually based on.) The stiff leather and veg tan fetishes pretty much...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    To borrow from another hobby, the term Frankenwatch is used for watches with mixed parts, but it has also been used affectionately to describe watches that borrow elements from many different watches from a brand's history, but do it well. Rolex did this with the Tudor Black Bay in 2012, which...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    I pointed you to jackets along the same lines a day earlier, which you ignored and instead decided to attack people. No, I'm not trying to get some kind of credit for it, merely pointing out that you have this oddly contemptuous attitude towards people who are taking time out of their days to...
