    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I could never pull off your style but Ive always been a fan of it. You do your own thing including the designing of so many of your jackets. Youre one cool dude thats for sure.

    What do you think about my new AERO

    Vintage jackets fit shorter. Look at most old photos will show this. It definitely can look out of place in todays fashion. But if it works for you and makes you happy thats all that matters. Whether a jacket is too long or too short is totally subjective anyway. Theres the "correct" period look...

    Choice Vintage jackets coming soon....30s/40s Horsehide, Goat, sizes 38-44

    @tmitchell59 since we’re not in the same weight class and won’t need to do battle haha. If you do have any secret size 34-38s hiding in the collection somewhere let me know and I may be able to take them off your hands since you can’t wear them anyways. Unless of course you’d potentially be...

    Scarecrow Yah Ta Hey leathers

    Once again happy to help. The one thing people need to be wary of and especially new collectors. I mean I fell for it myself until I started researching the subject is the marketing a lot of companies use when they talk about horse. They make it sound like it’s so much better than all other...

    Scarecrow Yah Ta Hey leathers

    So most jackets up until the 60s were made from horsehide because of how prominent horses were. They were our primary transportation, they were used for work, and many places also raised them for food. Which means we had a lot of horses, and a lot of dead horses so they were used for jackets. As...

    Scarecrow Yah Ta Hey leathers

    Obviously it will depend on the thickness and how it’s tanned and then how it’s finished they are all different. But in general broad terms; horsehide is slightly more water resistant and slightly more abrasion resistant than steer. But only slightly it’s not a huge difference and they look the...

    Freewheelers vs. The Real McCoys vs. Vanson Cross Zip Jackets

    Everyone sees things differently. It’s all about how you express that opinion and allowing others to disagree.

    Freewheelers vs. The Real McCoys vs. Vanson Cross Zip Jackets

    Also this has been said 1,000 times before but holy sh** your pics wearing this just goes to show how truly awful Vansons site is and how garbage they are at marketing how nice their stuff actually is. Yeah the “new” site is 100xs better than what it used to be; but it still is nothing compared...

    Freewheelers vs. The Real McCoys vs. Vanson Cross Zip Jackets

    I’ve been MIA for ages and explained why in the “has anybody seen” thread so won’t bore anyone here! Just popping in to say is that my old Vanson? Which I was just thinking I wish I never ever sold. I just never wore it enough. Have to say Jake you really truly kill it in that. Looks like you...

    Choice Vintage jackets coming soon....30s/40s Horsehide, Goat, sizes 38-44

    Oh it’s for sure the most cutthroat. Truth is for me at least I’m actually a 36 and sometimes even smaller. But every now and then a 38 will work. I highly suspect this won’t even be close and I’m just hamming it up for fun. Good luck moving these Terry!

    Choice Vintage jackets coming soon....30s/40s Horsehide, Goat, sizes 38-44

    @tmitchell59 the Thurlows and Sportclads I might want. And I think I should get first dibs for coming out of retirement! . Haven’t been active in ages due to work, my wedding, and some pretty bad/serious medical reasons I touched on in the “has anybody seen” thread. But I’m back baby! Or at...

    Has anybody seen ____ around Lately?

    I am! Thankfully I did not pack on the pounds while being on disability haha. So still the same size. I can’t tell ya how excited I am to be doing this doc. For anyone who thinks that doc sounds good and again I don’t want to push politics or a view here as it’s not the place; so if it sounds...

    Its been ages since Ive been on but decided to log in today. I am indeed alive and as @Monitor said its been mostly a great year or so! Without getting into the politics of it and whether you are pro or anti as a personal accomplishment I hope you can respect it but I won my first ever union...

    This has sold. Thanks everyone. I believe I messaged everyone back. I am beyond sorry for my slow responses lately. I have been working overtime and just haven’t been around. My apologies on that. Thanks to everyone for the interest.
