    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Just snagged this one from vintage/thrift seller Northern Grip. Their description doesn't have a lot of info, and says it's 80s vintage, but I question that -- the label inside looks more like something you'd see in the 60s or 50s, to me, and the leather looks nicer than what you'd see in a...

    Sullivan's Gloves

    I did just pick up these. Limited edition moose ropers. I bought them the day this thread was updated with the request for updated pics of the horween gloves I'd picked up originally. And they're already gone from their website. Fortunately these are a perfect fit on my hands in Medium. The...

    Interesting custom Vanson 9D in Japan

    Not to plant an idea in your head, but the serial number is visible in the photo, you can ask vanson to look it up in their records and make one just like it in your size. 14259 P 18

    Interesting custom Vanson 9D in Japan

    Just about everyone in Japan is a 36, it seems like it's the most common size over there. It ends up saving me a lot of money.

    Interesting custom Vanson 9D in Japan

    Saw this on Yahoo! Japan Auctions Japan. Like most Japanese leather jackets, it's a size 36, so probably won't fit most readers, but I thought the customizations were interesting. I see elements of the Vanson Chopper and Langlitz Sidewinder. Sleeve cuffs with diamond contrast stitching and...

    Notions about fit

    Everything here looks as it should, and I see little room for improvement. Does it feel like a good fit? If not, it probably just needs wear to break it in.

    To alter or not to alter

    Honestly, the makers of the jacket should pay you to use these photos to sell their wares. It's that good.

    To alter or not to alter

    Looks perfect as is, I wouldn't touch a thing. Don't even think about it.

    Schott 689H too big. How bad is it? suggestions?

    Fit is completely different between Schott and Aero. Take accurate measurements of yourself and discuss your desired fit and any concerns with your order handler. You can expect Aero Sheen to be a snug fit and true to size.

    Sullivan's Gloves

    I'd tell you if I could, but the truth is I haven't seen them in a while. I believe they are misplaced in the house somewhere, most likely in the pocket of one of my jackets that I haven't worn in a long time. I do hope they will turn up one day, as they were quite expensive.

    2022 - the year of suede?

    So far this year, I've been seeing a lot of suede offerings from various clothing makers. Not necessarily the ones we talk about here, but these seem to be getting a lot of inspiration from vintage style in any case. Lucky Brand has been advertising this suede shirt jacket at me for weeks even...

    Help determine which hide this Langlitz is made from..

    They've done horsehide in the past, especially in the 40s/50s when horsehide was still common. Green labels were the original labels. I don't think they use them anymore, but I could be wrong. They do not typically put a label in the jacket saying whether it's goat or cowhide. I have...

    Help determine which hide this Langlitz is made from..

    Get the serial number from the inside pocket and then ask Langlitz. They can look it up in their records and tell you for sure.
