    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Maybe @jpk_NJ will answer your question. But I agree, this is a great customized Teamster, and I really like it!

    Ah, nope. Was in reference to the Langlitz Crescent.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    Looking at the lining, I'd say pretty rough. I bought one last year in my size virtually unworn for about $200 more

    New old Buco J22 pics

    Agreed. It's an absolute keeper, regardless. If it was a repro I'd almost hold it in higher esteem because the repros are so much better made than the originals. If it's original, it's in amazing condition. Either way, a major score.

    History of the "Cafe Racer" jacket.

    While on the subject, I thought "cafe racer" was always a derisive term, applied to guys who liked to emulate the look of a racing motorcycle of the period, but all they ever did was park it outside of their local cafe to hang out and look cool, while not actually racing. Maybe to make fun of...

    History of the "Cafe Racer" jacket.

    I thought that was derived from "double breasted" vs. "single breasted" jackets.

    Schott 618HH owners in 38 and/or 40? I have some questions!

    Agreed, the grain emerges as the leather breaks in, and it becomes more apparent. This doesn't take very long, though, within the first few weeks or months if worn regularly.

    Schott 618HH owners in 38 and/or 40? I have some questions!

    I don't have enough to go on from a photo to be able to guess. In person might be a different story. Then again, it might not be. Can someone tell there's a difference in A and B and C in person? If it were wrongly labeled, how likely would it be to fool you? Would it make any practical...

    Does anyone have any experience with Horween's Lux Horsehide (offered by Simmons Bilt)

    Russet Badalassi looks closer to my eye than SB's cognac, and better. Of course, there's so many variables at play with photos and computer monitors that it could be completely misleading. Best to see a sample in person. And then understand that even then it can vary from batch to batch.

    That's a very nice brown depicted in the photo, can't blame you for wanting one in that color. I wish I could help with those questions.

    Is this a authentic Aero label?

    Yes, it's one of the labels they use.

    New old Buco J22 pics

    Is it an original Buco Buco or a Real McCoy remake? It's in such nice condition that I'd guess repro, and also since you mentioned it is heavy. If it is, that's actually better in my book, because the originals weren't made as well as the reproductions done in homage to them. It looks good on...

    Schott 618HH owners in 38 and/or 40? I have some questions!

    1. The only way to know for sure is to try on one of each and judge for yourself. I don't have a 618HH, and the fit of Schott jackets varies from model to model, so I can't really offer any insight here. For their 141 model, I did find that sizing down gave me the fit I wanted, but -- big...
