    The ultimative Denim Trouser Thread?

    If the purpose is to get a denim with a vintage feel imho un-sanforised is the way to go. Many brands sell one-washed versions so all the shrink and uncertainty that comes with it is out of the game. I’ve tried a lot of brands from across the globe and if you want to get that vintage feel you...

    Cone Mills selvedge ID (ticking) authentication question...

    LVC used different denim for different models and the selvedge ID varies. Some wider some narrower. Early models for instance don’t have any coloured line, the selvedge strip is all white. I think the folks over at superdenim can be more helpful though.

    Y'2 Leathers

    ^Agree. Imho those Y’2 jackets fall into the second tier.

    Advice needed on (Caban) Peacoat made of heavy cotton twill

    They make really nice coats and for a couple of months (at least) still no custom fees for EU customers https://www.privatewhitevc.com/

    Photos of cool jackets owned by others (non-brand specific)

    There are details found on Kelso’s jackets (the way the side straps are folded and the black d-rings). Can’t figure out what the leather is from the German website but it’s not Liberty.

    Field Leathers

    I don’t know if there is a cult for the FW mulholland in certain circles but going by the prices jackets sell for here in the classifieds, Japanese or not, a good 30% of the value is knocked off just by opening the box.

    Your favorite outerwear Instagram account(s)

    I mostly follow brands or shops that interest me. It’s a good way to have all in one place. That said, there is an increasing amount of sponsored posts from people I couldn’t care less that pop up on my page which make the whole IG thing less and less appealing to me. Only three years ago when...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    ^Cheers man. Yes the waist when zipped is a bit tight, not unwearable but enough to bug me. Probably an extra inch added to the waist circumference would be enough. If I ever go custom again I’ll make sure to ask that measurement. Normally is not an issue as I’m not really overweight (I still...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Rough’n’ready x Hooch hauler crossbreed in jerky HH. Fits to my taste everywhere but the waist where I wish it was a bit wider... it’s one of those measurements I’ve always failed to take into account but learnt my lesson. Will probably end up selling it at some point.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I think they both look too snug, especially the arms. Imho you’d benefit from a slightly more relaxed fit. I think you are more a standard highwayman body type than premier version.

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    Perfect for when you can’t make up your mind

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Matching colours makes sense but same exact leather between jacket and boots imho is a bit heavy and I’d rather mix it up. I can’t see though a tan leather jacket working well with shiny black boots for instance.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Because otherwise it will “thrive” like the belts thread that was moved a couple of months ago in General Attire. This is a long-running thread please don’t make it disappear.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    My brother in law works as salesman for a manufacturer of textile looms and he says the biggest markets for them are Turkey, Bangladesh and Pakistan. Turkey apparently is where the upper grade mall stuff is made whereas the other two countries they mass produce a fair share of the global...

    What do you wear for rain wear? Shoes and jackets

    Leather shoes/boots and yes if it rains an umbrella for me I don’t like getting wet especially when it’s cold outside (unless I’m doing any sport of course).

    Thoughts about fit?

    The fit of the model number 501-0000 (classic blue 501s shrink-to-fit 12.5oz) has hardly changed over the past 30years. Yes every 5 years or so they do some tweaks to the stitching etc but very minimal. Levi’s 501s have never remained the same for more than 10years throughout their 150 years or...
