    Any reputable persons who can modify a leather jacket in London UK?

    Unfortunately it fits very well, and the leathers offered are not offered by any other maker.

    Any reputable persons who can modify a leather jacket in London UK?

    I'm finding a certain leather jacket maker (I will not name them at this point) increasingly inconsistent in what they purport to offer and what I'm actually allowed to order. For example, all over their instagram are people wearing a specific jacket model without epaulettes... however I've been...

    My leather jacket database.

    Carlos I like how you look like you mean business in all of these photos. There is zero variation in facial expressions, just a "if you don't like this jacket then **** you" across the board :cool:

    Yoke or no yoke

    I personally prefer no yoke, although if I'm going for a two-tone jacket, then yoke it is (in a contrasting colour).

    CXL from Aero. Creases from improper storage. Examples??

    I put a leather jacket on an aero hanger for months over the summertime. Maybe 6 months. The Aero hanger did start to leave a few of these creases, if it would have stayed for much longer. What creates creases is not in my opinion how wide the jacket is, but how thin the hanger is. A hanger...

    (Travel) Where to visit in England?

    For a beach go to Camber Sands. Broadstairs also a nice day trip. Both about 2 hours from London. Avoid Brighton at all costs! And remember, London really is the best thing about the UK - no other city compares.

    No I think that shops need to realise that the customer is number 1. They usually do and are happy to have some business. Particularly with stuff this niche.

    London Outerwear meetup 8th of December - Epilogue

    I wasn't happy with the reception in Buzz Ricksons or whatever it's called. Every time I asked to try something on there was a hesitation, then an unconvincing "yes" about 5 seconds later... if people want me to pay a feck ton for a jacket then they need to be nice :) Btw if I'm in town I'll...

    London Outerwear meetup 8th of December - Epilogue

    Probably won't need a jacket in May! I can't think of many places around East London pertinent to leather jackets. You have "son of a stag", and I think that's it. I don't particularly like that place and never go. It's a bit out of the way. The West End still reigns supreme: we didn't go to...

    Mid-Weight Leather Jacket Guidance Request

    I don't think you can. I know of no stockists in the UK for example. I think the same woman who stocks Aeros in America also stocks Thedi. I forgot the name of the site as I'm in the UK.

    Mid-Weight Leather Jacket Guidance Request

    The sheepskin is nice. I personally am not enamoured of sheepskin on a leather jacket because I want something that feels sturdy and will last a lifetime etc.

    Effort required in maintaining veg tanned leather jacket? Plus aging question

    For a £1,250 jacket or whatever it costs, that's not good enough! Not sure what type of horsehide LL is using though, does anybody know?

    Oh right. Like "blackened brown" with Aero? fades to brown or whatever.

    Effort required in maintaining veg tanned leather jacket? Plus aging question

    The extra money is for the "tanning process" which is more labour intensive, apparently. But there is very little information on the ground in Lewis. They do not have many (any) of these in store any more (at least they didn't before Christmas when I last went in) and honestly there is a big...

    Well... it's £450 less of a risk. That's where the risk is.

    Effort required in maintaining veg tanned leather jacket? Plus aging question

    Lewis Leathers is selling veg tanned cowhide versions of its jackets for a £450 premium compared to its horsehide jackets. A group of us from the forum checked it out in person and some were impressed. However the steep price difference between the horsehide and the veg tanned jackets has got...
