    Does anyone know what this “newsboy” jacket is based o.

    I just saw a RRL jacket in this exact pattern on ebay only it was reversible. I don't know anything more about it, though, I'm afraid.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Thanks, @Ticklishchap. I actually wrote to Outdoor Knitwear prior to posting here, and asked if they had anything like this. I got a response that they weren't able to open the image I sent them, and requested that I resend it to another email address, which I did. Then I never heard back. I...

    Thedi Leathers- ordering experience help please

    I don't think they are that small, their volume of production seems to be more than one person could possibly do.

    Looking for a shearling jacket for winter, any advice for B3,B6,D1 or other?

    I guess that'd be pretty-boy models who want to wear a B-3 like a cloak over an Italian suit because it's ridiculously over-warm for weather where water is liquid, so don't need to care about fit. Kinda niche.

    Don't feel like you are pestering him. You're a customer, you've paid for a product which is now late, and he owes you timely, truthful responses to inquiries. Period. As long as you are polite and businesslike in your correspondence, you shouldn't hesitate to contact him. There's no reason to...

    Bummer. Can't say it's surprising given the economy.

    Looking for a shearling jacket for winter, any advice for B3,B6,D1 or other?

    The shearling does have thickness to it, especially at 1" length. That last photo, on cockpitusa's website, looks like an exceptionally poor fit. Shoulder seams off the shoulder, and the whole body looks like it has a lot of extra room inside that it shouldn't have. The model is likely...

    Help with first leather jacket

    I wouldn't. You can often get a great deal when they don't know what they have. Look at the jacket, know what it is, assess its condition, and decide if the price is right for you. It's the buyer's responsibility to be educated, the seller just needs to be reliable enough to complete the...

    Schott x Shinki Jacket

    Huh? Fine Creek is a newer maker, not really established, and formerly known as High Large, but they have a name. RMC is likewise a known brand. They may not be big, but are well known to enthusiasts.

    Help with first leather jacket

    Tagged size is a guideline, yes. But measure a jacket that fits you well, not just your body. The seller will have measurements of the jacket, not their body, and it's easier to compare jacket measurements to other jacket measurements than it is to know your body size and guess what jacket...

    Looks like an excellent jacket at a very good price. It looks nicely broken in and not abused.

    Help with first leather jacket

    LW has a reputation for very well built jackets. The materials used are very high quality, very tough. This makes them heavy and difficult to break in, and may not be comfortable especially in the beginning. They do heavier leathers than most, 4-4.5+ oz., but not everything they do is in such...

    Help with first leather jacket

    I would be careful about dye, unless you have an exact match for the original color, or are intending to dye the entire jacket. A little shoe polish, or something like neets foot oil or mink oil could darken the scuffed parts and blend it in to where it's not noticeable. I don't think that's...

    Help with first leather jacket

    The price is right on the LW you linked to. I do see a concern, in this photo: That could be mold. It could also be salt from sweat, though. Aero https://www.ebay.com/itm/143623373830 has some significant scuffing which turns me off, but the price it's offered at might be ok, and you...

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Outdoor Knitwear is great. They sell TW Kempton, and I have a few, but they don't have a wooly pully with the color scheme I'm looking for.

    Military 'woolly pully' sweaters

    Question for the forum... I recently found this wooly pully for sale on poshmark. I liked the color, so I bought it. The seller's photos showed what looked like OD knit body with khaki patches, and I thought the colors looked great together. When it arrived, I was disappointed to find...
