    What is your favourite lining? Post pictures!

    My favourite is the rayon lining used by Al's and Cal leather. It is thick and silky smooth.

    Fashion brands leather jackets: Is it worth the price tag?

    I still have the leather perfecto vest from DKNY's first season of menswear. Bought it back in the early 90s as said the first season they lauched the men's collection. It was made in USA. The same model in distressed leather in second season was already made in China.:rolleyes:

    What Is the Allure of Japanese Leather Jackets?

    I have always suspected what RM did with the J-24 later version is to copy the contemporary Lewis Leather Lightning cut that became popular around that time in the fashion world. I just measured my LL Europa (regular not T cut) and it has barely a 2-inch drop (ptp 19, waist 17) chest to waist...

    What Is the Allure of Japanese Leather Jackets?

    FW's drop is more significant. Carlos look great in his FWs.

    Help me date this MA-1 jacket please!

    It is a civilian jacket. Usually only worth dating if it is military issued. I think all the civilian Alpha MA-1 has the same stock and contract number so cannot use that to date.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Nice looking boots. I would categorise these as semi-dress though. I remember when I was living in the UK, I had trouble finding OK quality sleek cowboy and harness boots. I had a couple of buckle boots and managed to find a pair of Mexican made harness by a company called Adams I think. I...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    The front looks pretty classic Cal leather but the back darts look homemade. Custom? Who would choose darts like these over the six panels? Not that darts are bad but these are horrible.

    High Notch Leathers (House brand) Izumiya clothing store (Retail store)

    I would not be surprised when there is a higher demand than supply. I have heard talk about shell cordovan from the famous tannery that you either get whatever colour they give you or you have to reach a certain volume i.e. you get a small batch of the colour you want when you buy a bunch of...

    Your all time fav Leather Jacket (1-2) you own or have owned

    My RM J100 is still my favourite. I have since bought an original J100, a HD Sportster, a Beck 666. The narrower sleeves of the RM still makes it my favourite. I have put on some weight and RM j24 and FW San Mateo sadly don't fit anymore.

    Help with a Ladies Jacket

    Women's Langlitz usually costs much less than men's in 2nd hand market. Goatskin weight also varies. I have a goatskin RM M442A and a FW goatskin tribute to Langlitz CR. Both are quite easy to wear. The FW is pretty light weight. I have never tried a Langlitz goatskin though...

    Help with a Ladies Jacket

    Certainly let her try, especially if you are introducing her to the different leather-specific brands and encourage her to try those on. May be it sounds too cautious but I was trying to say it may not be a good idea to go off on your own and buy a jacket based on the men's or FL criteria. I...

    Help with a Ladies Jacket

    Lambskin is the usual leather choice for women's jacket these days not just because of the weight but also the way it drapes and fits. Best take that into consideration before insisting on some thicker stiffer leather. Kangaroo may be an alternative in that department. Not sure about cowhide

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Rare find. I have seen a few later versions with different labels but not this one. Coin pocket looks cool. Wonder if the coin pocket is one of those over engineering people talk about. Made in NZ by the Few.
