    FS: Lost Worlds J.A. Dubow B-3 (40)

    With another member expressing an interest and asking you to PM them would it be worth speaking with them and seeing if a price can be agreed with the seller refunding you any difference ? Save on the hassle and high cost if returning the jacket. Obviously everyone would need to show a level of...

    Fine Creek Leathers - Eric

    As the leather gets thicker does it not just make it less practical. More uncomfortable to wear and only really suitable for cold weather. I see photos of jackets that are able to stand up by themselves, I take it they are less than 2mm, surely even thicker than that must be like wearing a floor...

    good advice

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

    I think no one is absolutely sure how it’s going to pan out. For me living in Scotland there is still plenty of choice between new UK makers and second hand jackets on the eBay UK site.

    Schott jackets

    Thanks for all the advice, looking on Amazon there are photo’s of one Schott jacket where the leather has actually torn and it looks very thin. I found this very surprising which is why I asked on here. I noticed that they were very cheap on Amazon, literally as cheap as a third of the price you...

    Schott jackets

    Not one specific jacket, there are a number of older jackets available and it’s just about knowing what to look for. Many do appear to have the “ made in USA on the tags and not just the flag.

    Schott jackets

    Many thanks, would it be safe to assume that a used jacket from the 90s would be a genuine Schott ?

    Schott jackets

    A question when purchasing a used Schott jacket. If I understand it correctly there are Schott jackets still produced in the US with a second line produced in India which appear to be cheaper and of a lower quality (Very mixed reviews on Amazon). When looking at jackets available on eBay are...

    Fine Creek Leather

    The more I look at the cost v quality of many jacket makers Aero look to be very good value. Ok they are not cheap for the average individual but they look incredibly well made using quality materials. I don’t see many people having complaints about their jackets. Quite proud they are Scottish.

    Fine Creek Leather

    I’m just not a fan looking at the photo. The jacket just looks wrong with the arms too short and it’s too slim fitting all over. When you see some of the amazing jackets on here it does not look great (sorry).

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    H Have to say I think it looks amazing and not even that big on you. Just looks a comfortable fit on you in my opinion. I’m hugely jealous that I have nothing even close to that quality. Being able to layer underneath another huge plus. You’ve got a winner there mate.

    Lightweight leather

    Guys as a new member to the forum with no experience I’m finding it fascinating. A question though regarding leather weight. I actually prefer my leather jackets to be on the lighter side and as such what would you all recommend as a lighter weight leather, but one that still has lots of...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Sorry can’t seem to copy and paste across but a very nice Johnstone leather jacket on the UK eBay site with 2 hours to go and no bids. Looks like new and for £175 surely a great deal. 42 inch chest.

    Looking at the wear on the jacket I’m guessing that he knows and is going for a roughed up look.

    Over 50 wearing leather jackets

    I mentioned wardrobe for perspective. If enamored by status, I would not live in a rural area, drive a beat up pickup, and wear $10 Dickies jeans in town. To answer your question, there is nothing right or wrong about clothing. Because I see someone and think "that's odd" does not mean I...
