    Friends of the good old leather-belts!

    The guy I linked above just made this one. While I don't have an abundance of greens, it's amazing. Has a copper (plated) fireman's buckle. Love this

    Customized A2

    Yeah, it fits great but those knits? Not that it matters, only "we" would notice, but it was the first thing my eyes went to.

    Lost Worlds Buco Rider has arrived

    I know that face. It's the same one I made a couple nights ago when I pulled out my LW for the first wear of the season. Even after (I think) two years now, it's still a beast. Granted, I don't wear it enough to truly break it, but there's no mistaking a LW for anything else. Congrats - looks...

    How do you decide when it's time to sell a jacket?

    We saw them (luckily) at the opening of the Hollywood Bowl this year. WB was winded and had to sit most of the time, so it was apparent he was not in good health. They also used the LA Phil to a great extent which took some of the Steely out of the Dan, but I am grateful we got to see them...

    Shrinking (HWT) a A2 HH Seal Brown from USAuthentic

    I've done it to a few "lesser" jackets. One came out great, one shrunk badly (goat). I agree with the others. Unless you can afford to ruin it and are really curious, sell it and get one that fits better. OTOH, if you don't try things you don't learn. I'd base it totally on your...

    Fonzie's Jacket No Longer On Display At Smithsonian

    Did they have a Wagon Queen Family Truckster? They'd be my heroes :)

    How do you decide when it's time to sell a jacket?

    First time I ever "smoked" in ~1977, we had 2112 on. To this day, it holds a place in my grey matter that nothing else does. Also read a couple of books by Neil Peart. Amazing tragedy in his life, and he uses the motorcycle and music as his therapy (as well as writing, of course). I just am...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Took my son on the "Aluminum Overcast" in 2009. Sadly, only a Cockpit "B-3" back then, but the experience was amazing! Luckily you also had a great jacket to enjoy!

    How do you decide when it's time to sell a jacket?

    I have my vinyl - much of it from my younger days and working at Universal Music Group for 13 years. I'm now putting together a system based on turntable/amp/pre-amp/speakers only. Budgeting ~$5-$6k. It's now my priority since I have seemingly given up riding for now at least. I've been...

    How do you decide when it's time to sell a jacket?

    Yeah, there is. But it's a lot harder to find. And when she asked me for The Beatles shirts, I was thrilled. So I popped for a bunch of vinyl as she has a turntable, and she LOVES it. All of it is 60s and 70's too. Did the same with my son, and I have to say, even though they may go their own...

    Friends of the good old leather-belts!

    Been using this place. Isaac is great to work with. The fireman's buckles are likewise awesome and unique. https://www.pigeontreecrafting.com/ In Los Angeles.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I wore my douchy, hipster Good Wear Ventura! And to top it off, I went to eat Sushi. No pics, left the phone at home to actually talk to my son...

    How do you decide when it's time to sell a jacket?

    Went through that with two girls, now two granddaughters. FWIW though, my oldest granddaughter loves my music and a lot of the good newer stuff, so she's my fave :)

    Something new at Good Wear?

    I was trying to think of something to compare this to and I thought of a show I watch called "Graveyard Carz". They do extremely accurate and expensive restores of Mopar muscle cars. Some of them are 1/1 ever made. They don't discuss costs, but I can't imagine that many of their jobs cost less...

    Experience with Blattwerk horsehide (Simmons Bilt)?

    Not sure who's worse, them or AF - I even forget the name of the company now LOL!

    Experience with Blattwerk horsehide (Simmons Bilt)?

    My misplaced hostility is still intact. I don't carry a lot of it, but I do in this regard.
