    @126610LN No prob, I understood what you meant. But I still don't understand why specifically engineers can't be rebuilt.. Can you ask them if you get the chance? Would be curious to know. Even here they say that their moto boots are rebuildable...

    @Aloysius As far as I know there are 2 different things: resoling and rebuilding/re-crafting. All stitched boots are resolable, that's one of the major selling points - being able to change the sole rather than the whole boot. https://nicksboots.com/resole/ Rebuilding / re-crafting is a much...

    @126610LN "The only downside to Nicks engineers and what's holding me back is they're not recraftable." How so?

    Shipping Outside the US

    From my perspective it's all about transparency, clear communication and collaboration between the seller and the buyer. If the seller investigates and communicates clearly the cost of shipping and import fee / customs responsibility being on the buyer side then it's simply up to the buyer to...

    Post pictures of your jacket collection

    @3.14nche 1 . Holy sh*t what a collection and what a great way to present/share it. Love the huge photo with everything gathered side by side. 2 . What the hell is up with the grain on that board racer? Gorgeous!

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    So would you say that this would be a reasonable course of action? - Initial application within the 1st year for suppleness and helping in break-in. - Nothing for 10-50 years. - Condition again once it gets dry. Mine will not be new and I guess the leather balm has already been used, so step...

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    @Monitor You know what I meant :D Interesting that Vanson even recommend using it on new(!) leather: "We recommend its use on newer garments too - to moisturize the leather and give it added suppleness."

    Simmons Bilt - Need help to communicate!

    @Peacoat Well I didn't mention how I obtained it, but I said it was based on an existing well fitting jacket - they commented that from their perspective my given inhaled chest and my given desired ptp do seem to be a good match / make sense. They did not ask for any jacket measurements, I just...

    Simmons Bilt - Need help to communicate!

    @Peacoat Thank you for the tips! I gave them both inhaled chest measurements (~92cm) and desired ptp (~49-50cm) as you can see in the sales order I shared in my previous post.

    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    Finally got a Vanson coming my way. Been dreaming about one ever since joining TFL. You folks really do a good job advertising and praising it here :) Fingers crossed that it fits. Owner said he has maintained it with the recommended Vanson leather balm, but the impression I got on TFL is that...

    Elephant Skin questions

    Talking about Henley shirts... Ordered one of each, will see how they fit and feel, will pick one or few best ones and return the rest.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    @MadCat Damn, the 2mm thick-ass steer seems like a perfect fit for a guy of your side and stature. Fit looks perfect to my eyes from those photos. Congrats!

    Rebel Mens Wear and Accessories?

    @john corry Definitely looks more like suede from your last photo.

    Rebel Mens Wear and Accessories?

    @john corry "I’m not sure if Taobao does custom sizing?" But in general we are just guessing. Anyway, this seller seems shady for sure, even though he does seems to be reselling jackets in some awesome leathers. Especially the naked kudu.

    Simmons Bilt - Need help to communicate!

    I'm also already contemplating a Tailgunner/"Vanishing Point"/Liberator/"Youth of America" in Natural HH afterwards if this order turns out to be a success. The customer support / communication that I have received so far from Deborah won me over as a customer. Just need to see how the actual...

    Rebel Mens Wear and Accessories?

    @john corry So did you do a chargeback with Paypal? Got both the jacket and your money back? Or did the seller start responding to you only after you created the PayPal dispute?

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    @Canuck Panda Wow, that's the whitest (high quality leather) jacket I've ever seen. And the Langlitz one truly does have a "bone" color to it. Very cool.
