    Reproductions: How do you know they're accurate?

    This pretty much sums up my view, as well. As an example, I like having two hand warmer pockets on a "B3." The ones with the "correct" map pocket look real neat and everything but having a place to park my hands when wearing a coat that I'll only be wearing when it is very cold is a real-world...

    THE G8 JACKET

    I don't know about all jackets, but on motorcycle jackets, a two-way zipper is very handy for easing the fit at the bottom if one encounters a motorcycle requiring a more bent forward riding position.

    Questions about leather jacket fit ...

    Can you wear the jacket while driving, and then reach up to adjust the sun visor without difficulty? Can you grab a can of blue-lake diagonal-cut no-salt-added green beans from an upper shelf at the grocery store? Comfortably? If not, this jacket may very well end up spending it's life in a...

    Perfecto style leather jacket on a budget?

    If you are located in the U.S.A., be aware that many motorcycle supply stores, such as Cycle Gear, carry various Pakistani-made Perfecto styled jackets at very affordable prices. I know individuals who own them and they state the jackets are pretty durable.

    Carrie, your new website is running fine, for me. It was the last version that didn't function well on any of my four different computers. It's nice to be able to see the images again.

    Diamond Dave - Buco J-21

    I have a D-pocket in brown horsehide. It looks awesome. It garners more positive comments from people than any of my black ones. I too prefer the standard brown to the artificially beat-up look.

    "Perfecto" Style Jacket

    One of my favorite riding jackets is a Vanson CHP. I chose this jacket (to be worn over a Patagonia NannoPuff liner) a few days ago for a ride of 200 miles. We left in the morning, with temps in the 40's°F. Zipping the jacket all the way up sealed well around my neck. After several stops and...

    The classic flannel-shirts, I am amazed!

    I have a Pendleton as well as Filson wool shirts. The Filsons are the heavy-weight fabric and are warmer than the Pendleton, the weight of which I am unsure.

    The classic flannel-shirts, I am amazed!

    I love my Filson flannel shirts. They almost qualify as jackets. One of them is my go-to shirt for winter days spent outside, tending my big barbecue smoker....and it makes it smell good, too. :D
