Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition
Outrageous! Are person to person parcels scrutinized? For example, I wonder if someone from the states could “send a gift” without all the fees? Of course it would require a tremendous amount of trust of the seller. But man! 90 on 158… Enough to make a deal not worth it in some circumstances.- Gr8Lakes

Scam Alert
As a NEWB here myself, I’ve wondered the same about selling and buying from the classifieds. I’ve had decent luck with Poshmark, EBay, Mercari, etc., but the protection of those sites comes at a pretty significant commission cost. I’ve been reading this forum for a bit and can already see...- Gr8Lakes

Schott Cafe Racer: 141 vs 641HH Fit and Sizing. My lesson from a disastrous purchase. Selling this cheap.
x2… I just spoke with Schott NYC on Wednesday about sizing differences between 141 and 641. A 46” 141 popped up used, at a decent price, and I wanted to snag it. Glad I made the call to Schott. According to Schott NYC, the 641 is built one size narrower than 141. With a 44” chest exactly...- Gr8Lakes

Carhartt Detroit Jacket
As an industrial electrician, hobbyist metal fabricator/welder and mechanic, I’d have zero problem sporting an Ingersol Rand branded Carhartt. I even have a 65 gallon IR compressor in my garage. That said… I do prefer the matching flag patch compared to the U.S.A. patches. (I love my Carhartt...- Gr8Lakes

Ridding wrinkles and creases from leather?
As for conditioner, I’ve applied a few times. But I’ve been using a pretty mild conditioner - Bickmore Bick 4 conditioner. I really like that stuff for leather that just needs a little softening and maintenance, especially lambskin and deerskin because it doesn’t change color, and motorcycle...- Gr8Lakes

Ridding wrinkles and creases from leather?
Thanks Thanks for the suggestion. Now, how do I get my German Shepherd’s deer bone aware from him? Oh wait… I think you’re referring to something different. I believe your right though. There’s some evidence of shrinking and stretching. I’m to the point of letting it soak in the tub, then...- Gr8Lakes

Ridding wrinkles and creases from leather?
Hoping to get some advise from some of the more experienced leather friends. I snagged this vest off eBay a while back because I kinda dug the 90’s theme embroidery on the back. I was pretty bummed to see how severe the wrinkling was once I received it. If I had to guess, I’d say someone...- Gr8Lakes

Real McCoy Harley repro re-dye with Saphir
Personally ,I’m a lover of a jacket that has “history.” This thing looks like it has great stories and character. Even a bit of bad-ass-ness. I’d soften it up a bit, and wear the heck out of it! I like Bickmore Bick 4 as a mild conditioner. It’s kinda like a light shampoo consistency, soaks in...- Gr8Lakes

Aero Halfbelt
How is this still available at this price? Kills me that I have a 44” chest. Otherwise it would be looong gone!- Gr8Lakes

vicenza horsehide or badalassi cowhide?
Also a beautiful color, style, and fit. Thanks to you as well for contributing. (Mods, sorry for the double post… Couldn’t figure out the “Insert Quote” feature to add to an existing post. New to the forum… I’ll try to be a quick study)- Gr8Lakes

vicenza horsehide or badalassi cowhide?
Definitely made my short list after seeing these photos. Same dilemma as the OP. Russet is also beautiful, but here in mid-Michigan I wear leather in all four seasons some years. I love a dark brown jacket for it’s neutrality and ease of matching several pair of boots I own. My jackets are all a...- Gr8Lakes
