    Applying Obenauf's Boot Preservative to a leather jacket

    -8 C is still t-shirt weather here. Lol. I'll wear leather until it hits about -20 C then I'll choose something with more insulation than a leather jacket with a wool lining. Depending on the leather it can also get kind of stiff when it gets that cold. Almost nothing adds character more...

    Freewheelers Horsehide Tear - Repair Recommendations

    Dena could not fix my Freewheelers Switchyard or rather shorten the sleeves and inch. She said it was too well built (her words not mine) and she had a hard time tearing the seam apart so she sewed up what she took apart and sent it back to me. Maybe the storm cuffs made things difficult. She...

    Real Mccoy's Horsehide Leather Shirt mj15012

    Very nice. I tried the Flathead deerskin shirt and it was nice but I like the look of the Joe McCoy here better. Plus, the FH version was obscenely expensive.

    EBay arghh!! ##$&&

    Ebay and their Global Shipping scam is terrible. I have had items be repacked terribly by the shipping hub to save on postage or had items stolen right out of the box and I was sent empty packaging. Its a joke. Also in Canada now anything under $200 won't incur duty ect yet the Global Shipping...

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    Mich makes a good point plus for the price and if you wear it who cares if the collar is not accurate and modified. I think a lot of shearling jackets get sold for the reasons the seller probably modified the collar for. Not everyone wants a little head floating on a giant pillow of fluffy...

    @Monitor that belt on the CHP could be a weapon! Nice jacket and a superbly nice gesture by @Carlos840.

    Vanson Padded CXL Commando

    Sorry to hear about your dad but I am happy for your very fine, new Vanson. The gold lining is my favourite part. My dad is getting old and has kidney problems along with a bad heart so I know deep down he won't be around much longer. I'm mentally trying to prepare myself for that day but I...

    Tradeoffs - Himel Bros vs. Freewheelers?

    This is what I was getting at by saying measurements are key with Himel but you said it better. Sizing issues would be due to customer communication not Himel making the jacket incorrectly.

    Buying jackets on Japanese auction sites

    Mostly my items came in boxes, one jacket came wrapped in bubble and in a bag which was fine. At first I thought that was odd but everything was protected. I choose the EMS shipping option once the jacket arrives at the Buyee warehouse and to Canada it is usually only 4 days once it leaves Japan...

    Tradeoffs - Himel Bros vs. Freewheelers?

    The four Freewheelers I have utilize a couple different cuts but fit pretty true to size so I will disagree with the comments advising to go up a size. If anything a couple fit slightly roomy. I will echo sentiments of very excellent quality and very precise stitching and the only jackets I own...

    Buying jackets on Japanese auction sites

    From Japan is another proxy to consider. I use Buyee and it is quite simple. Everything I have purchased has fit and the measurements given by the seller were pretty accurate. No problems here.

    Does Langlitz offer veg tanned leather?

    Carlos is correct. No veg option that I know of. They also offer more than black or brown for colours like blue, red, white, tan ect but the leather is softer with a slight spongy feel to it over their standard mid-weight.

    Rainbow Country - Special Ordering?

    As mentioned there is Jelado but also Jelado West (Clutch Cafe) in Osaka also sells Rainbow Country so two stores that can shift stock around. They have checked with RC on a jacket for me before so I am sure they would do it for you. Nice people over there. McFly is a pretty small shop and not...

    A10 gloves, different brands, sizing?

    RMC run a bit tight. I have an 8.5 and should have gotten a 9. I am normally an 8 - 8.5 or medium in gloves.
