    London winter: how warm a leather?

    We are still fine in the UK, imagine people in the sub-tropics.... I know a few fellow jacket collectors in Hong Kong who only got a few days each year to show-off their collections.

    The demise of the loose fit

    Interesting perspectives. I think if we are referring to leather jackets, there was only one bumpy period in the 80s' where everyone prefers the shoulderpadded ultra wide arm pits baggy look (yes, and the baggy jeans and white 3/4 Reeboks on top of that). Then we are having another extreme...

    London winter: how warm a leather?

    With the warming of the globe, I don't think you need anything like an Irvine or B-3 in London. I was still wearing my J-100 yesterday..... You certainly do not want to have a sauna every time you go in to the Tube. For colder days, I can still bear it with my Vanson (Comp leather + fleece...

    A2 shoulder width - advice needed

    I suggest you look at some of the Japanese offerings, Real McCoys, Toys, Rainbow Country. Some people say that their house A-2 jackets are cut for the Asian slimmer figures, especially the narrower shoulder and sleeve widths.

    Brexit 2.0

    I wonder if California would demand a referendum for independency and join the EU?

    Leather jackets colours...

    Just wonder where we can order HighLarge jackets from outside of Japan? I seriously do not want to go through all those proxies or Rakuten systems. I really like their un-dyed leathers.

    Leather jackets colours...

    Yes, Protein just literally spelled out what I wanted to add. I believe it is a combination of the owner doing it as part time job as well as Vanson putting his orders at the lowest priority. I consider myself fortunate as I got one of his earliest House jackets, it took me something like 9...

    Leather jackets colours...

    It is essentially X-men Wolverine's jacket in the movie. It is made by Vanson exclusively for Logan's Closet. Would love to have one if I have the extra cash.

    comparision between eastman leather and noble house leather

    edqc, if you are in China, I think the best is to look at one of the TaoBao shops which is the official Eastman distributor in the mainland. If money is no object, I would certainly go for Eastman. From the pictures that I have seen so far online, Noble quality if just about the same as the...

    Militaria fair Belgium

    Oh, that's interesting. I used to go to the War and Peace show while it was held somewhere near the junction of M25/M20. They have moved to Ashford near Dover in recent years. They also have some sort of trading and store areas but not in such scale. Over the years, I saw some pretty nice A-2s...

    Gibson and Barnes doing ok?

    Just a quick question here, anyone knows if G&B has/had any government contract for supplying A-2/G-1 alike of jackets? (apart from their Nomex stuffs)

    Leather jackets colours...

    I money allows, I would still want to get Lewis Sportsman in Turquoise with white stripes. Although my age is catching up with me, I just wonder how often I can wear it. Something like this.

    My suggestion, see what sort of shoes you wear most. If you have more browns, get a brown jacket, if you have more blacks, get a black jacket, if you wear mainly trainers/sneakers type of shoes, it does not really matter I guess.

    Goldtop England

    The leather jackets looks pretty nice for their price points, my bet is that they are either India or Pakistan made. Considering that some of the lower-end Grenson/Loake shoes are made in India, I would not be too worry about the quality though. There are some complaints about Lewis quality...

    The ladies/teen mall jacket this season is . . .

    Fashion comes and go..... and comes back again. It is always a cycle of around 10-15years when designers run out of ideas every now and then. I was quite surprised that the Tanker jacket did not become mainstream after Brad Pitts' Fury movie though. Some are suggesting denim/chore jackets are...

    Vanson Zipper Question

    If you are going to replace the zip, make sure you get a heavy duty one, if your jackets are Model B, maybe a two-way zipper just like the one that they use with the Insurrection premium (Japanese) Model B?

    Vanson Zipper Question

    Yes, since you are in the States, it should not be that difficult. The problem for Model B is that it is slightly longer than the usual cafe racers, it is common to have broken zippers if you do ride. The other thing is that the Vanson zipper box is made with plastic, not exactly the most...

    Aero perfection again! My new Board Racer arrives...

    Insomnia, not intentionally picking on your spelling, but you just cheered me up with your mentioning of 'bras hardware'!!! Sorry! ;)
