    Would this warrant an exchange?

    No, it won’t. Unless the cows do their grain with a ruler now, this is not a natural crease. Pf course, the jacket will crease and buff and change, but why accept that when brand new?

    Wanted an AERO, got a DOUBLE HELIX 1930 style

    Super jacket! Glad, I don’t live in Zürich. With DC Style and VMC, I’d be broke in two months even without having to try to dine out. I believe, @Canuck Panda answered your questions perfectly. I too very rarely do any conditioning on my jackets. How you go about rain is strictly personal...

    Wildfang Design Visit

    Great write up, @Monitor! Next time, some gos, hit me up. Just realised that they are not even 90 minutes away.

    Would this warrant an exchange?

    You were right to return. This is not grain, but an imprint of something pushing into the back. While many may not mind (myself included) some will, and at this price why compromise.

    Fine Creek Leon

    This jacket has been discussed before and not uncontroversally. You can search using maker and model. Here’s my thoughts on the uncontroversial bits (if any). Get the jacket that you like better visually. I wouldn’t cut off anything. You will just ruin resale value if it comes to that. The...

    Fine Creek Leather

    Somehow I missed this. Leather looks spectacular! Spoke to my Belstaff Panther, and this is the jacket it wants to become when it grows up…

    Leather jackets & business casual environment

    Another vote for flight jackets. Military (dress) uniforms and business suits share similarities as concerns the symbolism of order, uniformity, morals etc. To combine a business (casual) look with a proper(albeit outdated) piece of military uniform is a nice nod to that similarities, IMO...

    Durability of lambskin for boots?

    Plenty of shoes/boots around that are delicate and not meant to get wet or dirty. My wife hardly has anything else. As long as you don’t want to use them as work boots, I can’t see the issue. I take it, the soles are not lambskin, so I wouldn’t worry about the upper leather being “delicate”...

    Hi new here. Is wearing a leather jacket basically an invitation for trouble?

    I must very humbly disagree. Only Pizza is to be found in Napoli, prepared according to the rightfully strict rules of the AVPN. Half-joking, of course (but only half, as I AM a stickler for Pizza Napoletana).

    Want Indy Jones jacket with the correct drape that stays more to the sides.

    I am not opposed to Bond adopting a more modern look (the italian/french way of suiting as opposed to dwelling on the old british tailoring tradition). The issue for me is the constant question as to how he moves in suits that are so tight fitting that ANY form of physicality will let all seams...

    Aero Teamster Issues and Questions

    Great job, making the jacket your own! Fit pictures would be appreciated. A few remarks to your queries: 1. Soak the collar in warm water and de-curl, fixating with a paperclip or else. Don‘t expect a perfect result. 2. Probably from sitting down in the jacket over extended periods of time...

    Review of my 2nd THEDI Jacket

    You did well. I like the model, and the Buffalo in tan is somewhat Thedi’s signature leather. Good fit, IMO. Thedi’s often run an inch longer than many prefer, but I do like the look on this model.

    Want Indy Jones jacket with the correct drape that stays more to the sides.

    Agreed. It’s gotten a bit too rich. Skyfall´s still a great movie, but in some ways also a very professional add for clothing, drink and Omega watches. This aspect has not improved with Spectre and No time…

    Want Indy Jones jacket with the correct drape that stays more to the sides.

    There are a lot of „behind the scenes“ stories for the later James Bond Movies. Like, when Daniel Craig would do shots where he was relatively static, he would wear the clothing one full size smaller than when he had to „perform“ (what they call the „hero-shots“). The „clipping“ is relatively...

    Leather jackets vs. leather western shirt

    In terms of versatility, there is no real difference, as the shirts these days use the same leather as jackets (Y2’s “Tom” indigo leather is even slightly thicker than on their Type 1/2 jackets: the Pale Rider seems to use the Conipel hide in 1,1mm which is easily jacket territory too.). Y2 is...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Agreed. When it gets cold, and I don’t feel like the certain vibe of my B3, my kersey Peacoat is the only solution. Not least because it has room for some solid wool u der it too.
