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

    Well the diamond Gusset work jacket I ordered from All American clothing arrived today, and it's way too big. I didn't pay that much aattention to the size chart, but they list the chest size for a small as 46. I measured it and not counting the storm flap like they do, it's a 44. How the hell...

    Hand sewing a patch to a lined jacket ?

    Well I guess I won't need to bother figuring this out, because the particular work jacket arrived today and it's way too big.

    Hand sewing a patch to a lined jacket ?

    I'm definitely not going to open up the lining, so I'll just have to try and accomplish something functional with a curved needle. Currently I'm contemplating ironing the patch on ( these particular patches don't hold very strong) and just added a stitch on each end to lock it on. Sewing all...

    Hand sewing a patch to a lined jacket ?

    The jacket is a 12oz canvas, and I'd be putting the patch on the breast where you'd typically see a name patch on a uniform shirt.

    Hand sewing a patch to a lined jacket ?

    I want to sew a name patch onto the new work jacket I ordered, but I'd like to do so without sewing through the lining. The problem is that my sewing skills are completely limited to saddle stitching leather, so that means no seam ripping and re-sewing...etc I need to figure out a way I can do...

    What jacket is this and whats its story?

    If somebody sent a picture of their jackets labeling to the FTC Schott could potentially be in some trouble here. Here's a few quotes from their website. " In identifying implied claims, the Commission focuses on the overall impression of the advertising, label, or promotional material...

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

    I needed a new jacket for work, because it's time to retire the old USN utility jacket my uncle gave me. I ordered this 12oz canvas work jacket from All American Clothing company. it's a rebrand from Diamond Gusset Jeans and the price was the same but I went ahead and ordered it from them...

    Belts and buckles

    This vintage BTS has been my favorite everyday buckle since I was a kid, I inherited it from my grandmother and I believe it's from the mid 70's but am not sure. For belts I really like Brennemans, they're American made, decent quality, and they're only about $30 at the local feed store. I've...

    Belts and buckles

    I recently made this belt and Buckle to go with a holster I made. The belt isn't tooled or anything, because that's not a look I was after or a skill I currently have. I could certainly do it, but not well.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    It warmed up again, so I went with the Pioneer wear and the deerskin vest.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I don't think I've ever seen a cooler suede trucker than these, and there's not many jackets in general with as cool looking of a lining. I hope you're able to find one some day. I was extremely lucky to find mine within an hour of deciding I wanted one, that just never happens for me. In other...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    It's been so dang cold lately ( cold for lower rural norcal ) that I haven't worn anything but the woolrich 503 unless I was just staying inside and wore the commando sweater. Today it's warmed up enough for a change of pace so I took a hard 180 and went with the PW suede trucker. I love the...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I've been wearing the 503 all week, it's just such a nice warm substantial piece.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I'm wearing the woolrich 503 that I just received on Saturday. I just love how stout and warm this wool is, I have no doubts it'll keep the wind out fairly well.

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

    My early 50's woolrich 503 arrived today, and I'm very happy with it. It's in great condition, just has some lint and such here and there to pick off. The lining is in excellent condition. As are both storm cuffs. I don't think it was worn very much, and it definitely hasn't had any...

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

    I'm still waiting for my 50's woolrich, the seller is located in my state and they even printed the shipping label out ASAP which gave me hope of receiving it quickly, but then they went and waited 5 days to ship the damned thing. ETA is tomorrow, but being a Saturday it'll probably arrive at...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    I've been wearing mine quite a bit the past couple weeks. We've had a lot of rain lately which means mostly just lounging in my recliner when I'm not at work and the commando sweater is perfect for this. I still wear a flannel and vest a lot, but some days I know I'm not going anywhere and don't...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Today I went with the 60's Woolrich barn jacket, this jacket is one of my favorites because it was the 1st vintage wool jacket I bought but it's a little too big so I don't wear it as much as I used to. About a year and a half ago I found one in my size NOS online for less than $150 and...
