    Cotton cossack jacket from Time Machine

    This how size S fits me, granted the sleeve is just at the wrist, but the rest of the jacket fits more correct I think

    Cotton cossack jacket from Time Machine

    I strongly disagree with that youtube rewiever who suggest the jacket to be made 2 or 3 cm longer lol what a joke a long cossack with waistband down to the hip, the handwarmer is high and the opening angle made it even unnatural to rest hands there but making it longer is not the solution, it...

    Cotton cossack jacket from Time Machine

    My several yrs old, i got size S, i'm 175cm 60kilos As with many heritage jacket sleeve repro here the sleeve is a bit too much spreading, so i hand stitch a dart from the top of the shoulder to halfway down to armpit to "fix" it Other than that i love it, handwarmers a bit high but i like...

    What determines back length?

    posture determines the whole look of your jacket, a perfectly fine jacket would look creased weirdly across the body or flaring out toward the hem if you are slouching in it, it may look like the jacket needs adjustment or doesn't flatter your figure while actually by just standing a bit...

    Long (double) Riders?

    I think if you plan to order a longer jacket with hand warmer positioned lower like that picture that is mostly affected with creasing run across it when you sit or twist your waist to the side, or reach your pants pocket, then you better have the handwarmer either : cut more slanted, backed...

    Long (double) Riders?

    why would he place his hand on the pants pocket while the jacket comes with handwarmers, perhaps it was purposefully designed to cover the pants pocket to make it more secure perhaps in public setting like in busy tourist area and amusement park from pickpockets, I think buttons would make...

    What determines back length?

    I think the biggest factor is shoulder slope, if the shoulder slope is big so the arm hole is lower, so you carry the back length more toward your neck and not toward your waist and vice versa. another factor is probably sleeve rotation, if sleeve is a little bit pre rotated forward for riding...

    Long (double) Riders?

    the same jacket but with buttons instead and healthy length of splay would look much better

    Do waterproofing conditioners cause dry rot on leather?

    I think nothing will stay on top of leather permanently, unless a thick enamel coat like patent leather glossy coating, so spray whatever water repellent stuff, it will stay on the surface for awhile and then it will rubbed off from wear and wind or whatever, so I won't over think it really.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    thank you man, with cardboard like vegtan, all the panels are equally stubborn, so I think its helpful to soften one panel so it will be the designated conforming panel that will collapse and expand as needed just like the shoulder gusset panel, but since the side panel is not sewn in the way...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    yes, I pat/stamp dyed the whole hide, I didn't seal it with any varnish, just buffing the dye to get a sheen but eventually it will fade, maybe if the dye fades too far one day I will touch up with diluted dye on some deeper parts.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I put the jacket on a hanger and hold it under a bathroom shower for 5 minutes or so, then i let it drip, and i wear it to dry Nothing major happens, belt looks a step more broken in. And i knead on the side panel so it learns to fold naturally just like sleeve cuff webbing. And it helps...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    my place is definitely not humid, very different than coastal area or places like hongkong, it was dry within 3 hours from body heat and moving air , i think just plain cold water won't damage the leather much, its less damaging than wearing it on rainy day since rain water may carry air...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    that belt digging into the jacket and I do some kneading on the side panel to get more broken in so it can drape closer to body when worn open

    Its earlier mishap turned into very cool character, even the chipped top coat looks the part now as the tea core darkens
