Bill Kelso
I had a cadet in Black overdyed Liberty HH. Pretty nice jacket. I only sold it because it was a little tighter than I like but nothing bad to say about it. I waited ~6 months back in 2018 I think.- Mich486

How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?
My 2 cents… there is definitely some hype around Japanese made heritage clothes (not just leather but think denim and boots) but imho this is the results of consistently delivering a product that can’t be found anywhere else… is all coming out of Japan better or even good? Nope… Much of the best...- Mich486

Clinch black overdyed horsebutt or Latigo Emgineer boots?
Latigo is a saddlery type leather from Horween. The one used by Brass is very thick, palpably thicker than the Italian Horsebutt. They are both nice leathers of course. I prefer the Italian Horsebutt personally as it has a shorter break in period.- Mich486

Attractions Bilt Buck lot 329 Suede Engineer Boots - US8 (fit larger)
Still trying to get my engineers pairs down to a reasonable number. Bought directly from Attractions. Waited 6 months for delivery. Retail for ¥85,800 which is about £550/$750. It’s the suede version of their famous engineer boots. Top notch quality and imo best silhouette on the market as...- Mich486

Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)
I’m all for reinterpreting classics and i think that if all we had were repros, it’d be pretty boring but… this?! Levi’s vintage clothing?! What a waste of deadstock Cone Mills denim…- Mich486

(The Real) CiDu Leather
They are on it because is a Lee jacket reproduction. The union made tags/buttons are found on many repros made across the world. It’s a little detail that some may care about although clearly that union is (was?) just an American thing. The funny thing to me is using those buttons outside of...- Mich486

Who’s going to pick up this Himel Bros?
It’s very nice to look at but not something I could see myself grabbing before going out in the morning. More like a collection piece. The guy puts out some of the most original designs gotta give him credit for that.- Mich486

Chinese leather jackets
@TheDonEffect : An A2 contract out of production for decades can be reproduced, an original Thedi design currently in production not coming out from Thedi’s workshop can’t be anything else but a knock-off. There are admittedly some grey areas but the above I think it’s what most people are...- Mich486

Chinese leather jackets
I personally do not seek artisanal exclusivity or small batch production but I hate fake copycat products for all sort of reasons. There is of course good stuff coming out of China. I can’t see it on Taobao though…- Mich486

Post Brexit import experiences
Over 2kg fully insured (say £500)? I don’t think you can do much better than that. I find that sometimes Parcel Force (still RM group) is marginally more convenient than RM but not a big difference. It makes a difference of course if you don’t insure and you are ok to gamble a little. It’s...- Mich486

Cross-zip Jacket back fit - wrong, right and indifferent
The Indian ranger seems like it’s got a massive taper and if not of the right length it bunches up. You should’ve probably gone shorter. I don’t think it looks bad, but i find it personally uncomfortable when there’s that bunching up at the hips. In the chart above from @Marc mndt i recognise C...- Mich486
