    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    Assuming that you're correct and that it is mold you'll likely find that surface treatments won't cure the issue as the mold isn't living exclusively on the surface and once whatever you've applied to the surface is dried and gone the mold will begin to grow out to the surface again. Now I'm...

    Freewheelers Caboose, Did I get burned? Calling all aficionados...

    There's no amount of due diligence that will correct a liar. There is no excuse for the seller's behavior and the issue is this... If as you state the seller never saw the jacket does that somehow make his lie about it never having been altered acceptable? There is no due diligence when...

    Freewheelers Caboose, Did I get burned? Calling all aficionados...

    A lot of beating around the issue here. If the seller is saying the sleeve is standard length he's a liar. A spade is a spade and he knows exactly what the issue is. Never be kind to a thief; they deserve what they've earned. Light him up.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Don't have a photo but for the second day in a row I'm wearing an RSD Enzo. A very comfortable and easy to wear jacket that smells like heaven and has a different feel to the leather's finish. I have no other jacket like it and both appearance and feel of the leather is 'interesting'. It...

    To no one in particular... I may have misunderstood the intent of this statement: Mods, if this we need a cleanup on this aisle please feel free. My apologies for the hassle.

    Vintage Schott 46

    My apologies... I should have stated clearly that this is an ad I found on the web and is not my jacket. I have no affiliation w/ seller or the transaction and beyond being relatively certain that this is an authentic Perfecto from roughly 40 years ago I know nothing more about it. Good luck.

    Vintage Schott 46

    A vintage Perfecto for the James Dean crowd. Looks like it's got some good life left in it and could use a little love but appears not to need much. For sale Vintage Leather Jacket 80 Clams, shipped.

    is there such a thing as applying too much conditioner and making your leather too soft?

    Over conditioning boot shafts as on cowboy boots or engineer boots will turn the shaft floppy such that they'll look like they belong to one of the Three Musketeers. Never tried excessively conditioning a jacket.

    I like this old Kaye Bros tweed / leather jacket posted elsewhere here but I'd have to starve for a couple months to fit it. Any idea where I could have something like this (maybe slightly updated ) made? I was thinking maybe JL in San Fran but figured the collective would know far better...

    Vanson - 10% off (select items) - ends 8/11/24

    Thanks for the heads up re: ten off. Oddly, I had been on that site earlier today and hadn't paid any attention to the the giant banner at the top of the page. Regardless, I just snagged a Model B (non-house). I haven't had a TV for 30 years and have no idea who that character is. Looks like...

    This is an interesting forum where the inmates seem to know each other and being the new guy I actually don't know anybody. Don't know Stuart and didn't know that person was even a member here (assuming that's what you meant). I'll bump along the bottom for a while and eventually might be more...

    vanson fit check

    I just bought a Comet in 46L and haven't even seen it yet. I hope I didn't botch that too badly. You mentioned Majorca and untucked shirts. I was just there riding bicycles and have no idea what that means. Mind filling in that blank?

    US Caste System and Leather Jackets

    If yours is a religious reference, Abba; you've lost me. No offense. I know a lot of people profess to be adherents and say they've read that book. In my mind it's one of the most widely distributed and least examined of all texts, ever. I'm already running the risk of apparently being...

    US Caste System and Leather Jackets

    I think mfg's are largely responsible for any negative perception. I saw a beautiful and heavy leather jacket on the bay last week that I'd love to have but won't buy because it has the name Marauder embossed in the leather right on the front of the jacket. There are several other models of...
