    UK? leather jacket ID help

    Thanks for the info @yellowfever Sorry for not including more photos. The upload snagged on me, and I meant to do a second post with more pics. There are no waist buckles, which I thought odd for a UK jacket. There is also no sleeve pocket. The padding edges are unfinished. The back is a...

    UK? leather jacket ID help

    I found this jacket vintage shopping in Portland. I bought it because it was a pretty good fit. There are no tags inside, and I think it is a replacement liner. It is cafe racer style with padded/quilted shoulders and elbows. The main zip is a CLIX and the collar snaps say Newey England, which...

    Custom Langlitz experiences?

    I ordered a full set of leathers (Columbia + competition breeches) from them last year, and my experience was good overall. I live near SF, so Portland is somewhat accessible to visit. I got measured in person. I ordered the pants first because I was thinking I would try to match with one of my...

    Johnson Leather Jacket

    I’m curious to see how their sleeve replacement looks, especially with matching older leather. I have a pull over riding shirt with short sleeves. I am debating between replacing the sleeves and putting on some type of sleeve-end snap cuff to fix it.

    Snap on fur collars ?

    One of the Cals I bought came with a non-Cal collar. I posted about it here: Thread 'Mystery collar help' https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/mystery-collar-help.104527/ My Cal is 42-44. This could possibly be a Taylor’s collar. I think @Aloysius is spot on about the snap arrangement being...

    Mystery Pac Northwest (?) boot ID?

    Wesco was my first thought, too. However, I thought they were pretty strict about always stamping their boots with their logo. The absence of a logo made me think they might be older linesman or timber boots by one of the PAC NW or Canadian makers. I think these rotated out of the downtown...

    Do these leather gloves look like a poor fit?

    You could also look into something called cadet sizes for gloves. It is a different ratio of finger length to palm size than for typical gloves. You might fit better into a cadet size, but it may be different from your typical glove size number. Everything I could find currently online about...

    Worn Out West (Johnson Leather?) jacket sz 40

    The leather type is not marked, so I am going to say cow/steerhide. The jacket is 5 lbs on my luggage scale. It is hard to gauge flexibility. It still needs more break in, but it is not brand new stiff. Let me know if there are other questions. This jacket is too nice to sit in my closet :)

    Victorian Sterling Silver Pocket Watch Chain

    This is a really nice heavy watch chain. Any idea where it was made? Are there any city marks on it?

    Taubers riding pants

    It is time for me to accept that these pants will never fit me and pass them along. They are “orange label” Taubers with teardrop talon zips on the front and rear pockets. All snaps and zippers function. All measurements taken lying flat. Waist 15” Rise 10” Inseam 25” from cuff to bottom of the...

    Aero wool and leather Halfbelt

    You have a great looking jacket! You also engineered a perfect fit, as always. This design also inspired me to look into leather as an option for restoring a vintage Filson wool jacket that I found. The original sleeve ends are pretty chewed up and leather replacements are an interesting option.

    Mystery Pac Northwest (?) boot ID?

    I’m hoping someone recognizes the maker of these boots from their shape or the stitching patterns. The concave heel makes me think of a Pacific Northwest maker. I have looked all over them for a stamp or tag, but no luck. They seem well built enough that I am thinking about buying them, but...

    Vintage Cal - It's changing my outlook on things

    The seam separation near the collar scared me away from this one. It is hard to tell from photos if the leather is sturdy enough to tolerate restitching.

    Vintage Cal - It's changing my outlook on things

    Thanks @JMax @El Marro @Will Zach @TREEMAN for the replies & advice. @JMax I don’t think the hole goes entirely through the jacket, but it looks deep enough that more wear could cause it to break through. Thanks for the warning about the seams. It is good advice in the hunt for good vintage...

    Vintage Cal - It's changing my outlook on things

    Here is the shoulder seam separation. It looks like it would need fixed by going inside the liner. Maybe something to remedy if I got the liner replaced.
