    An Interview with Field Leathers

    Very nice interview. I hadn't heard of Field Leathers before, will have to check them out. They sound like they do good work.

    Considering Blouson Jackets

    The Schott 689H is a great jacket. Vanson does the same pattern, but they call it the Enfield, and with Vanson's year-long 15% off sale, it's only $550 in comp weight, $535 in firenze. But I don't know that it's a blouson style, by the definition given above. I have an Enfield in heavy brown...

    Vanson Ike in russet competition weight horsehide

    I think it looks great. If you find it is too tight and want to move it on, I'd certainly be interested, but there's no way I'd be able to fit it as I wear a 42... I think you should hang on to it. As you wear it in, it's going to loosen up a bit and you'll probably find that it is just...

    Show your Langlitz

    I wouldn't have changed anything about that fit. It looks perfect as is (was).

    Show your Langlitz

    I owe this thread photos, but I don't expect I'll be able to get to them for a month.

    Langlitz Leathers customer services

    I read your comment to mean Langlitz jackets that you had first hand experience with, and unless you ordered it made to measure, your experience with fit isn't relevant. If you were referring to jackets made by Langlitz, owned by others, and you're assessing fit based on the photos posted...

    You really shouldn't say this unless you ordered it from them to your measurements. Otherwise it just isn't relevant.

    Langlitz Leathers customer services

    I can't understand why LL doesn't send out fit jackets, or make a test jacket in a cheap fabric that they can use to catch major errors and fine tune the fit on the actual order. It seems like such a simple thing, and when you're spending that much money on it, it only makes sense...

    Agreed. 30.5" sounds very long indeed, but without knowing your height, it's hard to know that. If you're, say, 6'4"-6'6" it might be reasonable.

    It does seem like a bad idea to use a reference point that can vary widely, depending on style of the pants in question.

    Langlitz Leathers customer services

    I have heard two types of stories about Langlitz customer service. One, like what you have related, and one where the customer couldn't be happier because they got it exactly right on the first attempt. They do seem to not like having to do remakes from what I hear, and probably that's because...

    Highwayman Virginian

    I think fringe is hopelessly dated, and I hope it never comes back into style. It's fine for colonial frontiers men and hippies. Not my thing.

    SImmons Bilt x Standard and Strange Two lane Blacktop Horween LUX

    It's like Technovox's custom Sheene/Highwayman hybrid. Wow.

    FS: Schott P665 Asset Size Medium

    When I tried a M in this style, I also found that the fit just wasn't working for me. It's too tight for a 42, but would probably work as a 40. When I went up to a L, I found it too big, so I'm SOL on this model, which is a shame, because it's the heaviest CXL I've seen used in a Schott...

    Tradeoffs - Himel Bros vs. Freewheelers?

    Freewheelers: off the rack sizing, product availability, language barrier, customs/duties on import. Himel: haven't owned one yet.

    Please help me identify this vintage leather jacket

    I'm not enough of an expert, but I'd be surprised if it's 50s.
