    Brown Himel Kensington . . . My New Favorite Jacket

    Such a lovely jacket, Himel does a beautiful job. Excellent addition to your truly impressive collection. The only thing that sort of bugs me about the Kensington is how the collar never seems to lie flat around the neckline. It juts straight up and encircles the neck without really seeming...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I know you're looking for a little more cropped style to suit the high waisted trousers but you should bear in mind that this jacket objectively fits you perfectly. I think it's worth keeping for that reason alone, and you may find at some point down the road your style shifts away from the...

    Apparently the thing still reeks to high heaven too, so cool.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I couldn't personally wear this style, but it really does look great on you. Genuinely looks like something a legit fortune hunter would actually wear. And the Simmons bilt Clayton vintage brown is absolutely amazing. I have a sample of it, beautiful mottled color, soft hand, nice veining and...

    Zombie Apocalypse : What would you wear?

    At least get the facts straight, Iran is now prevented from developing a nuclear weapon in the foreseeable future and by all accounts is complying with their obligations as outlined in the nuclear weapons deal. And North Korea has had nuclear weapons for many years, they're just trying to...

    Zombie Apocalypse : What would you wear?

    The thing about the end of the world is, no one is going to be making any more synthetic polymer stuff, so the stuff on your back is basically the last stuff you'll ever own besides what you can scavenge, and scavengable stuff will be depleted very quickly in a scenario like this. So wearing...

    Zombie Apocalypse : What would you wear?

    Plus steel toed boots would give you a nice case of frostbite on the toes come winter.

    Aero/Langlitz/Lewis leathers (a.k.a ALL thread)

    Those makers are still there you just have to find them. The guy who designed my TOJ jackets in Korea farmed out the production to a select few mom and pop craftsmen who he described as old school artisans. And honestly the work reflects that, it's clear they're nearly on par with Aero etc in...

    Aero/Langlitz/Lewis leathers (a.k.a ALL thread)

    I too am a longtime lurker, new poster, so welcome - it's really nice to finally come out the shadows and begin posting isn't it? Aside from the incoherent rant at the beginning your post seems really detailed and well thought through, you should just stick to the jacket stuff and omit the...

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

    I just picked up what looks to be a good condition vintage Harley Davidson sportster jacket, which I have ALWAYS wanted but never been lucky enough to find at a good price in my size. https://www.etsy.com/listing/517433456/vtg-60s-harley-davidson-sportster The only problem is, this one is for...

    My new leather - Real McCoys Rough Out Type 3

    Fanch , I've seen the Filson jacket and it looks almost exactly like the version I have, in fact I was a bit confused the first time I saw the tin cloth one because I couldn't immediately visually see that it wasn't just my suede version in more of a taupe color. Here are some pictures of a...

    My new leather - Real McCoys Rough Out Type 3

    I have basically this exact same jacket made by Levi's as a slim fit re issued version of a vintage jacket they used to make back in the day. I've included a picture of the new version and the old vintage version which lacks a button closure at the sleeve and looks a lot less fitted. Levi's...

    Modded 1940s Lakeland Half Belt Leather Jacket to resemble rare Hercules

    If we're being honest, that's a ruined jacket unfortunately. The areas you cut away appear to me to be the most beautiful parts. I understand that they have progressed slightly beyond patina and into the realm of actual damage, but as someone who has restored some very damaged leather items I...
