    Well, style you can not buy, style must have

    Great thread! The only thing I have to offer is: Superfluous, you might consider swapping the 9th and 17th pairs of jeans, counting from the left, because of shade and gradient.......

    9mm or 45cal

    ^^^When I was a kid, we used to cast bullets for use in our 1911s. They were semi-wadcutters and the RCBS catalog listed them as a "Keith-type" bullet shape. Edit: Sorry, this was in response to post #420

    Schott 118/618: feasible for a tall person?

    Nick, if I skimmed this thread correctly, you stated a perfect length is 25-25 1/4 inches, and that the Schott 118 is 25 inches. If this is the case give it a go. I have one and really enjoy it. It is quite soft and the hide feels rather thick. It is the kind of jacket one can toss on and then...

    GORGEOUS! Vanson x Left Field "Commando" Jacket. No. 7 of only 20 made! C. 38, 40.

    Great looking jacket. If it is indeed the Z150 leather, then it is made from a lighter weight material than is Vanson's heavy-weight competition leather.

    How to resist buying another jacket?

    Every time I hear mention of Booker T & the MGs, I end up humming "Time is Tight" for the next four days straight. I guess there's worse things....

    How to resist buying another jacket?

    It's really quite simple: go to "A1's" thread on his new jacket...his ONLY leather jacket....the one he wears everywhere...every time...for all events,errands and activities. Take a look at just how well it has aged, look at the patina and how the leather has molded to him. Owning 16 jackets...

    Jacket Review - Harley Davidson Basic Skins - 2001

    Good write up! My experience with a Perfecto style jacket has been a bit different, though. I have found the lancer front to be one of the best-venting designs around. Worn with the lapels snapped down, the front scoops a good bit of air: with the front unzipped even more, the front allows...

    aero b-3 arrived , comparison with my Eastman b-3

    Aero = Practical ELC = Date Night One thing to consider: if your wife had seen you only in the Aero, would she have felt it looked just fine? I'll bet so.

    Is this A-2 too big for me?

    There is no such thing as "way too much BBQ."

    Got my new Eastman B-3 ! Hard to drive though lol

    I think the jacket looks great. It could stand to be a bit longer...or not: sometimes the longer sleeves invite a host of whole new problems for the wearer. In my opinion, what you really need to do is put on the jacket and go chop wood for a couple or three hours. You'll be amazed at how well...

    Adios Smith & Wesson

    I remember, when as a teenager, S&W was a "Bangor Punta" company. Look at who owns Winchester.

    That is a great lining and jacket.

    Filson Mackinaw vs Greenwood

    Depending on where one lives, the Double Mack cruiser might be a viable choice. This is what I have for the arctic climes of Oklahoma in the winter. Turning up the collar can really stop the cold winds from being a problem. I call it my "great coat" even though it is much shorter than the real...

    Aero perfection again! My new Board Racer arrives...

    I'd say you did extremely well. Love that tartan, too!

    Is there a line and, if so, how/where do you draw it?

    All I can say is, some of you guys.........got it bad.....:D

    Alpha MA-1 Stench Ohhh My!

    Most all law enforcement supply stores carry de-stinkyizers, intended for body armor, which is no small task. They work well and I've used them on jackets. Also, they are supposed to kill any still-living cooties lurking in the garment.

    LegendaryUSA in Exton, PA is 10 Stars !

    I've seen many original vintage moto jackets which feature gussetless zip sleeves. I've always assumed this was to make it easier for one to place a glove's (gauntlet) cuff inside the sleeve prior to sealing it up with the zipper.
