Ever think some jackets are overhyped
Hi, original poster here. First, I posted originally not to call out a maker or a group of makers, but to generate a discussion about how the internet and forums shape our views about products, and there has been some great discussion on that ;thanks to all. In regards to Himel, I would...- Rgcards

“An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it.” ~ John F. Kennedy
To the original question. If you are immediately dissatisfied, and if you have a particular remedy you think is reasonable, I think it is appropriate to contact the manufacturer. If you just think it isn't as nice as you thought it would be, and returns are not possible, then I think it is...- Rgcards

Applying Obenauf's Boot Preservative to a leather jacket
I have a polo jacket I got in 1996 that is amazing. I think rrl makes nice stuff. I also think some made in china stuff can be very nice, or at least isn't inherently bad. My problem is when the charge so much for stuff, but then pay the workers pennies. Id rather over pay for a schott made in...- Rgcards

Sigh. Its 4:00 AM And Am waiting to do an emergency angioplasty on someone. So I flip to this page to pass the time as I wait for the ER to transport the patient, and I see the negativity has risen considerably. Thanks @ Superfluous I have gone out of my way to not criticize Dave Himel or...- Rgcards

Ever think some jackets are overhyped
By the way , I have a goodwear and it is very nice. Probably my favorite jacket. John is just a great guy too. He mentioned to me he has tried to hire people before but they either don't get it or their work ethic have been off. Truth be told there probably not a lot of skilled leather...- Rgcards

Not in any way criticizing field leathers by the way. Nor Himel. Just hyperbolic language inflating expectations- Rgcards

Ever think some jackets are overhyped
And there's the hype. I have never had a fields leather jacket in my hand. They may be the holy grail of all leather jackets. Having one may make you feel as if you were toched by the hand of god. But I do know at 1400 usd they are not cheap. I do know lots of companies make leather...- Rgcards

Well, you guy are probably right. But I don't think this is restricted to himel. Hype and price are not commensurate with attention to detail- Rgcards

Ever think some jackets are overhyped
Again, I love the jacket. The point I'm making is that I love it because of how it looks and feels when I wear it. Paying more because it's the right jacket for me is fine. But, saying it's worth because it's better made is kind of delusional. Frankly who cares how it looks under a magnifying...- Rgcards

Ok. Well again, I'm very happy with the jacket. And there are other parts tat are beautifully stitched. But it's a himel bros. And I don't want to dissuade anyone from buying himel. I would buy it again. But I think talking about how straight the seams are , or the stitch count as a measure of...- Rgcards

I don't want to throw anyone other the bus. First of all I'm satisfied with the jacket. Second , im not the original owner. The jacket is shinki horsehide. It smells great by the way. Its probably midweight, not lost worlds thickness. The main thing I wanted to point out is that some brands are...- Rgcards

Ever think some jackets are overhyped
I recently bought a jacket as the second owner. It's from a company lauded for it's craftsmanship. The original owner felt it was too big and ordered a smaller size. I paid more than I usually would; these jackets are about 2500 new and the size was right. Anyway it's a fine jacket , fits well ...- Rgcards
