    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    Thanks for the info guys. Hopefully I won't have to do anything to it but I like to be prepared (don't like the thought of not cleaning an unknown item). I'll check back in when the jacket gets here!

    I'll try that if anything! If CXL is fine in a tub, I'm definitely willing to try as well. Would you use any detergent or anything? It didn't seem like the oils/waxes and detergents would get along

    Hi, I won't have the jacket for a few more days. The lining looks pretty good though. I guess I'm more worried about smell and I'm used to being able to just wash secondhand clothes (like raw denim) I buy on eBay without a second thought.

    Hi guys, I'm in the process of acquiring some secondhand jackets and wanted some advice on potential cleaning (if needed). I have read some stuff on TFL with people full on washing their jackets in a tub or in the washer machine. However, the jacket is CXL and it didn't seem like a good idea...

    Shawn also informed me of the same thing. Will be interesting to see how it turns out

    Himel: An Existential Review

    That was a great review. I'm sorry that you had such a terrible experience. I'd be infuriated/frustrated with that situation as well. A complete bespoke piece always sounds so tempting to me but stories like this make me very wary. For what it's worth, that jacket is incredible and I hope your...

    Mine was right at 3 weeks I think. The anticipation was unbearable for me as well haha

    Yeah, the Vanson is very attractive at the price for me. You are right, the two options I mentioned do not have epaulets or belts. I know some of the heavier/stiffer leathers will be overkill if I don't ride but I am pretty huge on raw denim. So I do prefer a certain type of "feel" and patina...

    I'm similar to you I guess! I think you're right. I've always been interested in the competition weight that Vanson offers. But there is a lot of truth to your advice...I might always chase or desire that jacket in CXL. Maybe I'll end up with less jackets if I go straight for it haha

    I am trying to up my leather jacket game. Currently looking at getting a stiffer leather jacket, either a C2RN from Vanson in competition weight or a Vanson Gambler in the Black Z150. Any thoughts/experiences with those two different leathers? Those are the two that fit what I am looking for...

    @unhatted glad to see your jacket turned out good! The fit looks good and I don't think the minor issues you have on the jacket are that bad at all! Any funky smell with the goat? Seems to be a jacket to jacket issue.

    That's a bummer! He told me there's no more of that good stuff

    Any other leathers/Colors people have had good experiences with? Going to put an order in for another jacket with Shawn soon

    Yep! That's my exact jacket down to the minute details. Unless he made two at the same time

    It does look like the same jacket! Yeah, the more measurements the better. If you wanted the collar a certain way, best to indicate measurements on that too if you have them

    You ordered recently? I had asked him about the 2 mm HH but he said it was all gone

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Oh that's interesting! Were they these photos? Yeah, I slightly misplaced and mis-sized a few things. I was just going off memory from an old 519 I had. Live and learn I guess haha. I also wanted a more stripped down perfecto and had always wanted the 3sixteen x schott version haha. Despite...
