    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    That looks fantastic. You will love the deerskin. I don't doubt that it will be the go to jacket...it really wears like a sweatshirt so comfortable. I still kick myself for not purchasing one of the Bootleggers one last year for under $700 and another recently but money money.

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

    I don't know of anyone who does look better on lower rise jeans/trousers. Also for how to wear engineer boots and denim/overalls with cuffs you just have to admire one of the best dressed women in workwear there is if not the best, she has impeccable taste: https://www.instagram.com/pinkployd/

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    If the seller was in Europe I would consider buying this one or the Black Sunset. Not going to happen being in the US. @dudewuttheheck check this seller out! Sunset in Black deerskin in 38 could be your thing.

    Cleaning a goat leather jacket?

    Mink oil will eventually rot the cotton stitching on jackets or shoes, same as Neatsfoot oil. I wouldn't use that.

    Those handwarmer don't look original to the jacket to me.

    Hookless Zipper Hell

    I would say that only a very good leatherworker should attempt it. They have to match every stitch hole in the leather in order to do it right. I have seen so many wonky jobs I wouldn’t trust anyone but a real expert who has good feedback.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    As @Marc mndt says used the the neutral cream. It will feed the leather, darken the dry spots but it will not get rid of the patina completely. The coloured ones can rub off and you don’t want to be staining stuff. In shoes it’s very easy to brush off the excess and only the trousers cuff can...

    That seller has had better over the years and way cheaper. I still remember the cream vintage HERMES french cyclist jacket the seller had for sale, absolutely mind blowing. Also to be honest...leather and Thailand. Such a warm and humid weather. I wouldn't trust anything coming from such a...

    My first trucker!

    It clearly shows. Being able to raise your arm like that with the jacket staying in place and the sleeve not riding up is a proper fit. Same experience with Lewis Leathers for example. Some patterns are just better done than others.

    Fit check on TFH new (to me) jacket

    As long as when using the jacket it feels good it looks like a good fit. We usually get to hung up on the robo pose fit but then when putting the jacket to good use is when we find that they work or don't work. Be sure to check that your sleeves don't ride up half your arm when using the...
