    Cool cal

    Quite a story! That will fit me... I have a center-zip Cal already, but I don't think I could say no to that one if it were on the market.

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I'm skeptical about the horsehide. There's no label saying horse. When I asked vanson about my Metropolitan Comet, they advised it was cow. And they used lighter weight leathers on this line. Still a nice price on a uncommon vanson. Edit: Correction, Kim's email didn't specify horse/cow. It is...

    Johnson Leathers Let Down :( Re-Line Job

    Hey, that looks really great. I'm glad it worked out. Johnson does good work, and gives great service when called upon. All's well that ends well.

    Japan restricted jacket import?

    Sure, you can, but I've always felt more comfortable and secure about not having to deal with international issues. Maybe it's better these days, my last incident with an unhappy buyer was much, much easier to resolve than it used to be years ago. But even so, anything I've bought that was...

    Japan restricted jacket import?

    To be clear, are they returning the money to the buyer and taking it from your account, and not returning the jacket to you? I hate the Global Shipping Program, and never use it when I'm buying. As a seller, I just don't ship internationally, period, because I don't want the hassle of a...

    How to dull shiny nickel hardware on leather jackets?

    I also vote do nothing. It will dull naturally in due course. Nickel ages especially nicely. There's no need to accelerate it.

    My deepest apologies...

    You showed a lot of class by writing what you did above. It's nice to see cooler heads prevail and especially to see someone see the error of their ways, admit it publicly, and apologize the way you did. If more people could do that, the internet and the world would be a much better place. I...

    Goat vs. Steer

    Goatskin is a great leather. Very tough, yet not heavy, although heavier goat can be sourced, it is typically thinner than cowhide, but tougher for a given thickness, and requires no break-in. Most will say that goat doesn't show age very quickly at all, but I have to believe that this depends...

    Will re-lining a vintage jacket lower the resale value?

    It depends a good deal on whether the jacket has collector's value to begin with. If it's a historical piece, then any alterations would hurt its value. By historical piece I don't mean just an old/vintage jacket, but one with actual historical significance, like a WWII A-2 worn on missions...

    Aero leather tumbled black advice needed!!!

    It looks to me like paper that has been crumpled up into a ball, then smoothed out. It has creases. To me, it's not a very good look, and it does look very different from the other example. I'd wonder whether it truly went through the same process, for if it did, how could it look so...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I was so sad when it became apparent that the waist was too narrow for me, but I am glad to see it worked out well for you. That really is one of the more unique Langlitz Cascades I've seen, and it's fantastic. Looks like you scored a keeper.
