    vanson leather squeaks

    ^^ Yep, the Panda in the post above analyzed the problem correctly. The COF (coefficient of friction) of the acrylic topcoat against itself is high. It means it does not slide easily when it rubs against other parts of the jacket. That is what causes the squeaking. Applying a waxy leather...

    ELMC Californian Bi-Swing Back

    The flare on your pics is unsightly, on the ELMC website a bit less so, but both look like the jacket would benefit from an elastic band (or two...). If it was my jacket I would explore adding some. Should be an easy alteration.

    Help needed - zipper replacement (EU)

    Yes, I think I found them through Lukasz as well. Since then they did couple of my jackets, taking in and shortening sleeves and zipper replacements. All flawless. Tell them they have to hit the old stitch holes and they will do it. I would just make sure I get a good quality repro (or vintage)...

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    Well, Brando rode a motorcycle, and this dude flew a fighter plane. The degree of coolness and self-assuredness is directly proportional to equipment in this case.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I am surprised those inept marketing departments from all those makers do not beat a path to your door begging you to model for them. This jacket looks like a sack of potatoes on their pictures; much less so on yours. Morons.

    That sounds like a 40 to me, much more than a 38.

    Help with leather jacket size suggestion for a few brands.

    What is your height and weight? There is a well-known jacket maker who only needs to know these two parameters, nothing else, and can fit a jacket, in vast majority of cases, correctly. But he knows his patterns. In your case, the pattern is unknown, so it is a tough ask.

    Schott 626VN Scuffs

    If you want to make the fix more permanent, put on a thin topcoat of clear Resolene after the Kiwi dries. Alternatively, Pecards (and others) make black-tinted leather treatments, but they also come off with time and rubbing. I personally don't mind applying it again after it rubs off.

    I use this. Black Kiwi liquid for fixing scuffs on shoes and boots. Works great on black jackets.
