    Freewheelers vs. The Real McCoys vs. Vanson Cross Zip Jackets

    Pretty late here but I think the La Brea looks really good. Maybe I'm just someone too set in my ways but I couldn't imagine really digging something to just have people on a forum say "No actually its not good" and then starting to agree. If you feel good wearing the jacket who gives a damn...

    looking to buy Freewheelers Darius

    https://buyee.jp/ is the easiest way. They'll handle the inner-Japan shipping and then ship it internationally for you. However a quick browse of Freewheeler's and I didn't see a Darius for sale at the moment.

    Beautiful black FW caboose popped up on buyee. If it was brown I'd be going for it but don't need another black jacket. https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/j1040173866

    Help! Unbranded jeans feel crushing my balls

    Its the cut man not the country of origin. Unbranded is owned by Naked and Famous which also have ball crushing rises (depending on the model) and they're MiCanda (sometimes Japan.)

    Help! Unbranded jeans feel crushing my balls

    "Raw jeans" is pretty broad. You can get raw denim with super high rises or with super low rises. If you don't like the Unbranded cut its probably just not the right cut for you. Iron Heart typically has higher rises. With that said yes UB typically do have ball crushing rises from my...

    What are the makers that DO NOT 'skiv their leather or use glue'?

    Probably everyone who has bought unsanforized denim? Thats why you need to put them in a machine when you first get them unless you really want them to shrink some more if you just hot soak.

    NWB Rare Limited Edition Shell Cordovan Allen Edmonds x Wolverine PCT Boot 10.5D

    From what I recall Wolverine had Allen Edmonds make these boots because Wolverine has/had no experience in shell. It isn't exactly on the 1k last I don't think because the toe box is far less bulbous on these compared to standard issue 1ks.

    NWB Rare Limited Edition Shell Cordovan Allen Edmonds x Wolverine PCT Boot 10.5D

    Hey I've got these boots as well. Though with the plain cap. I really, really like em. They were my daily wear boots for at least 3 years.

    Advice for total newbie living in China

    It took me a bit to understand measurements and Japanese tagged sizes as well. I couldn't wrap my head around being a western small and a Japanese large. Then once I actually understood my garment dimensions it made buying well fitting stuff pretty simple.

    Experience in Freewheelers leather sizing?

    This is the issue I seem to run into with FW outside of the Mulholland. I really want my next jacket to be a Caboose if/when they make those again but it looks like I'd need a 42 and at that size the sleeve length is probably a good inch longer than I'd like.

    Cordovan leather jackets - what do you really think?

    I like the color. Not sure how it varies from tannery to tannery but I've only gotten cordovan from Horween on boots. Not a huge fan of the naming since it can be confusing for people of cordovan color vs shell cordovan leather. I even had a cobbler try and tell me I didn't have shell boots...

    Jacket ID California MFG Rainbow country copy

    You easily could be right I honestly don't know how acquiring the rights to labels/names works with really old companies. Possibly the trademarks do still persist and legal rights need to be hammered out.

    Hanger for leather jacket

    Also this is only something you'd find out with experience of doing it but the hangers I linked above from Amazon do not fit into moving wardrobe boxes correctly. The wardrobe box has a much wider metal rod for hanging things so all my clothes on plastic hangers were peachy but everything on...

    Jacket ID California MFG Rainbow country copy

    Do any manufacturers actually do this? I'd assume the brands would be defunct so there are no longer trademarks on the labeling and of course clothing can't be patented for reproduction (else H&M would be out of business) so I'm not sure .. Either way even with the construction the leather...

    Hanger for leather jacket

    I have a bunch of these and they work well enough. I think pretty much any suit hanger with bulbous ends works fine. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078NVJS2S/r

    Which Jacket Brand Has the Best Resale Value?

    Yeah the Mullholland is quintessential supply and demand. TFL really loves the jacket (and for good reason) and they are scarcely available unless you put yourself on the pre-order list. So if you don't get one when they do their drop you probably have to wait a year-ish.

    Real McCoys BUCO J24 2018 Limited size 42 but more like a slim 40

    Delraiser is 20.5" p2p in size 40. I think calling this a 40 is perfectly reasonable. GLWS. Really sharp looking jacket.

    The Real McCoy’s / Joe McCoy Nelson 30’s Sport Jacket

    I have to say I find this is my "grab and go" jacket for me. More and more I find myself not even consciously thinking about it I just naturally pull this out of the closet when I have to run to the store. The design is just super functional and goes with pretty much anything I'm wearing that...
