    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Looks like a modern slim fit, not boxy at all.

    Workboots, how should they be worn?

    Both the boot and the jacket sleeve look great on this pic!!!

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Good to see technical innovation in tanning beyond new and thicker topcoats. Looks like Hermann Oak is a hide worth getting. I guess @regius is fond of it and recommended it, or you just specified it?

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Interesting, because chrome-tanned leather is more water resistant than veg-tanned. Does the Hermann Oak hide have a discernible topcoat on it? Acrylic or a polyurethane topcoat usually does the trick. That, or maybe if the leather is wax-stuffed.

    Workboots, how should they be worn?

    Exactly. You want to clean out your garage or work in the yard, put on a Carhartt jacket. Cheap and tough. Beat it up as much as you want. And have another if you want to look like Matthew McConaughey.

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

    Mens. No darts around the chest. Black label, too. Nice find. Dibs if it does not fit.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I think so. On another platform, Poshmark or some other (I don't remember which), when you make an offer and it is accepted, the platform charges your Paypal automatically (you have to agree to that beforehand, but the charge is automatic). Isn't a bid in an auction an offer to buy at that...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Time for ebay to automatically withhold the payment from the winner upon completion of the auction. No cancellations; maybe only with a penalty of 50% of the winning bid, also withheld automatically.

    Heavy Cal 22.5” P2P

    Funny, the thick hide is the reason I like Cals and stopped pursuing other, thinner jackets...:)

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    @ton312 was right, some shady bidding was going on last time around. $900 and change is much more reasonable for this jacket; I hope @jeo got it.

    FS: Lost Worlds Buco J23 4/4.5+ Oz Heavyweight Horsehide Leather Jacket Black Size 40 (See Measurements)

    I agree. A tremendous LW jacket with grain. I don't understand how a Foolholland can command $2K and this barely $1000. Hold your price if you can, ignore lowballers.

    Workboots, how should they be worn?

    I am probably more qualified to talk about flip flops than workboots these days, but for me ideal workboots are like an old leather jacket with patina or denim fades - top black layer gone from the rolls revealing brown leather underneath. Like the original "teacore" effect on old jackets before...

    Lol, yeah, I am in a flip flops and tank tops country now. But still hope to wear jackets when I am in Europe part of the year!

    Unknown make Perfecto style jacket

    Cool jacket, not a halfbelt though. The panel below is a kidney panel. The halfbelt in the title will get people excited, you may want to edit to avoid disappointment.

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

    You guys were right. The seller was transparent about the leather condition when asked, cancelled the sale at my request, and issued a refund before shipping the jacket. A very responsive seller, would not hesitate to buy from him again, but maybe only a jacket that is in a less "pre-loved"...

    WTB Vintage 20" zipper

    I get it about wanting a #5 zipper, but there is something very satisfying about a chunky #10 zipper on a cross-zip leather jacket. I put one on my 1950s Spiegel, and am very happy. Yes, a #5 is period-correct, but I say period-correct period-schmorrect. There is a reason why these puny #5s do...
