    New Jacket from Johnson Leathers

    It's funny you asked. I am planning on getting one more, but will probably wait a month to let the dust settle. Also that way a nice package will arrive at my job a few weeks after I come back from a sabbatical, proving that life is worth living. What both jackets have in common is "hands on...

    New Jacket from Johnson Leathers

    Thank YOU too. I don't know if you'll come back and see this but I researched some of your jackets and in a string from last April or May I saw my avatar next to a long forgotten comment from me saying, "I didn't know from their website that I could get that from Johnson Leathers." So you...

    Nice jacket. Wear it in the best... I hate to sound a single negative note; but it doesn't seem fair you living so close to the source.

    New Lost World A2

    Don't worry. I'm walking down the street wearing fourteen layers and somebody is coming the other way in shorts and a tank top.

    New Lost World A2

    Thanks. I know it's the right size because Stuart sent a 38 Russet Horse to try on for size. He was pretty sure I'd be a 40 and it indeed was too small, so I sent it back and he made the size 40. Here's a pic I sent to LW showing where the 38 pinched. P.S. This daytime pic shows truer...

    Lost Worlds sizing - classified information?

    Thanks. I KNOW it's the right size because Stuart sent out a 38 Russet Horsehide (pictured) and it was too small. I sent the pic to LW showing where it pinched. P.S. This "daytime" pic shows truer colors. That's the color of rust knits and LW Russet Horsehide looks like a milk chocolate...

    New Lost World A2

    Today was delivered a LW Goatskin Seal Brown A2 w/Rust Knits. Everything was done on the phone and via email with Stuart and I'm very satisfied. That said, after reading posts on FL, I made it a point not to pull his tail. Here's two pix IXL, You predicted this!:eusa_clap No I didn't win the...

    I guess you could say I've got a dog in this fight. Today was delivered a LW Goatskin Seal Brown A2 w/Rust Knits. Everything was done on the phone and via email with Stuart and I'm very satisfied. Here's two pix. That said, after reading posts in FL, I made it a point not to pull his tail.

    New Jacket from Johnson Leathers

    Thank YOU for sharing. It was specifically your posts that convinced me to go this route.

    I think you guys should cut the LW a break. Who knows what the future holds, but I've never had a problem having an email answered or getting Stuart on the phone. Maybe he's got some borderline autism or something. The Dodgers just signed a pitcher with "social anxiety disorder" and he seems...

    Without going into too great detail, I know I've given my money plenty of times to people who weren't that great , if they had something I wanted;)

    In my opinion a man has a right to run his business the way he wants to. LW is a going concern so they must be doing something right in the eyes of a critical mass of people. I read his return policy (and have placed the proverbial $1000 order based on same) which states that if you buy a...

    New Jacket from Johnson Leathers

    I wanted something that fit for a change so I flew up to The City and went into Johnson Leathers. I have a 39" chest so I tried on a 40 for size, but it was a little tight around the waist so I got a size 42 with an inch off the length and arms. It's still pretty trim fitting, but I can wear a...

    46 Regular Legendary(Schott)Horsehide D-pocket on the Bay Currently $41 US/ Ends 3 Ho

    I agree. Once a year seems a little too sparse, but I'd say if you have a place to keep it inside (and the moolah), other things being equal you should have a bike. I take my car to work (20+ mi) but all local errands are on the scoot. It sure give one a great reason to dig leather jackets...

    How Come I've Never Heard of Cal-Leathers on FL Before?

    I emailed Alan about my ideas for what I guess amounts to a pastiche of my favorite features on different jackets to see if they work together. I'll see what he says and take it from there.

    How Come I've Never Heard of Cal-Leathers on FL Before?

    I'm pretty sure my next jacket will be from Johnson Leather. Among its many good points, mucho bang for the buck.

    How Come I've Never Heard of Cal-Leathers on FL Before?

    Wow! I like to think of myself as one of "the last of the big-time spenders;" but 2G's is a little rich even for my blood. That would make an Aero J-106 from Insurrection or various similar Lost Worlds offerings dirt cheap by comparison, which takes some doing.
