    2-way or 1-way for a main zip?

    Just had it on a Barbour jacket and never unzipped it from the bottom although the zipper wasn’t an issue to operate at all (YKK if not mistaken). On a waist length jacket can’t see why it’d be needed.

    Shangri—La Heritage

    Oh well, hard to argue with that! I hope that jacket doesn’t carry also the white tag with “handmade in Italy” written on it.

    Shangri—La Heritage

    I can’t tell for sure as I never handled one of their jackets but I find the made in Pakistan hard to believe. Especially if they put that tag below inside the collar...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Yep, now that you say this I remember my jacket (October ‘19) was supposedly made out of the new stuff, which I was told was made to show wear faster. It’s a nice HH and I personally prefer it to CXL. Not lightweight at all but super easy wearing. I just can’t see how it can be vegetable tanned...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Are you sure about this? It feels very different from any other vegetable tanned leather I’ve handled. Veg tanned you can tell straight away as it’s got a certain stiffness to it and the creases are easy to set. Jerky is super soft and doesn’t have much “memory” if that makes sense. I thought it...

    My New Five Star A-1 Jacket

    Wow! Looks really good! If you told me this was a $800 jacket I would have believed you.

    Small Questions:

    ^jerky HH develops a nice grain and it’s super comfortable to wear, I think it deserves more attention. The only bad thing about it is that it’s got zero crispness and so creases are very hard to set (at least in the batch of seal I’ve got).

    Pictures of Shawl Collar leather jackets... please.

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

    Why they went for that leather it’s difficult to comprehend but it’s not like they don’t know what nice leather is so maybe the originals came like that? Who knows...

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Pancho & Lefty (Sweden) have restocked on Clinch engineers in both Horsebutt and Latigo. Pricey af but if you like them and don’t want to wait...

    What does this mean

    I think a way of curing the symptoms of jacket addition is to become addicted to other items of clothing in turn. Jackets-> boots -> shirts etc and then repeat. :) Seriously though, I’m also not interested in collecting so all my jackets that don’t get worn for a year or so I get rid of. As...

    Johnson leather Horween 6oz cxl overdye D-pocket and 4.5 -5oz CXL natural LeatherTogs project

    Best repro of that I’ve seen is this Toy’s McCoy. Could be a good source of inspiration for your project.

    My new MF Campus Stallion jacket

    As of late, I dig the relaxed fit. Looks good ;)

    Aero Birds of prey

    It’s my favourite Aero design. Superb and fits you very well. I had one of the Levi’s jacket and imho the leather was very similar to the oil pull HH they regularly stock. Yours in Vicenza is nicer.

    EBay arghh!! ##$&&

    ^from what I’m seeing the delivery drivers take a picture of the parcel when they drop it at the front door. That should do as proof of delivery. Ebay is a lottery for sellers... especially for private ones.

    Cordovan has never been used as a work boot leather afaik

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

    Never seen a Langlitz with such good looking leather though. Also while the design is a straight copy I don’t think anyone who goes through the Langlitz bespoke fitting process would be interested/satisfied in an OTR trim Japanese pattern. The strength of these Japanese makers isn’t the...

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

    Badalassi comes in some nice colour variations. Btw “prugna” means plum in Italian. edit: because my English is still sloppy after 10 yrs living in her majesty’s land

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    In my experience the Horsebutt Attractions use can look like that without any artificial distressing. The light in the pictures above also helps.
