    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Just arrived (two days door to door from Texas) and absolutely worth the money! Rios of Mercedes, ordered back in March 2022.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Thanks for the very measured review, Marc! I absolutely get what you’re saying re „good value but not good enough for import prices“. I have the same feeling when it comes to my Vibergs. They’re great boots, but not EUR 1.000 great. More like the EUR 500, a pair of Dundas cost. At the same...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thanks much, Jake! A serious compliment from somebody who nails it every time (and is much less forgiving when it comes to size and fit than myself).

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Jackets, pants, boots - that’s all great. Perfect combo!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    First real wear to the new to me Vanson "B". A bit of room, especially after removing (I guess permanently) the grabby, use- and needless fleece-liner. With the action-back, I may even be able to get myself into a size 40. I could do without the wind-flap, but otherwise it feels good, and it´s...

    FS: Iron Heart IHJ-35 in Size Large / 40

    I had the same size, but I outgrew it. The leather is crazy-nice. An absolute showstopper!

    Iron Heart „Pale Rider“ Evolution Thread

    Thank you Brian! I really like how it fits. It’s a bit more roomy, for sure, but pliable enough to not let me swim in it. Any smaller would not really be comfortable for everyday wear as a shirt. The older I get, the more firmly I root for camp, “a little big is better than a little small”.

    Iron Heart „Pale Rider“ Evolution Thread

    Week 5 (ctd.) - First rain Extended stroll through the countryside on a cool, gloomy and windy Sunday. Got into a drizzle, and the hide pretty much soaked the rain up. Not much visual impact, as far as I can see.

    Iron Heart „Pale Rider“ Evolution Thread

    Week 5 Still wearing the shirt whenever at can. I would say the hide is now pretty much broken in. Except for the areas where the leather is doubled up (Collar, cuffs, pockets etc.), the hide is pretty soft and has lost much of its initial rigidity. Colour is coming along nicely, but as I am...

    RMC Mobster vs FW Mulholland. Who wins in a bare knuckle brawl?

    Upps, you are absolutely right! Thanks for clarifying!

    RMC Mobster vs FW Mulholland. Who wins in a bare knuckle brawl?

    Not sure if it´s obvious to everybody, so at the risk of some redundancy: The Mullholland actually replicates the "Trojan Leather Sportswear" logo (helmet and all). So if you pick up the jcket with an untrained eye, you won´t find a reference to "Freewheelers" but only to Trojan Sportswear.

    RMC Mobster vs FW Mulholland. Who wins in a bare knuckle brawl?

    I just mentioned Himel as I find his (oil-tan) leather is nicer than the leather on the FW. As to designs, he doesn´t offer anything similar to the Mulholland/Mobster. He´s expensive, and I always had good experience with him personally and my jackets are super. Others have less positive...

    Here’s the FW.

    RMC Mobster vs FW Mulholland. Who wins in a bare knuckle brawl?

    You know, I had the same dilemma: I really like both jackets, but feel they are too similar to justify buying both. Ultimately, the “Mulholland“ was the itch I just HAD TO scratch, so I got it. Call it a victim of the at times almost mythical admiration it received a couple of years back. If...

    Strong Bike, Jacket, Denim, Boot game. All as usual. You do have changed though…;)

    That leather looks absolutely bomb proof. I like it a lot!

    Iron Heart „Pale Rider“ Evolution Thread

    Week 4 - It’s getting better man! Trying to get in as much wear as I possibly can, temperature and social compatibility permitting (interpreting the later rather liberally, as in, “everywhere except for work). The leather is still stiff in the torso, but there’s a lot happening in terms of...
