    Field Leathers

    To be honest I don't like the way waiting time is used to hype the brand or the product. It just means that there is demand. I don't think having a long waiting time is a measure of quality, it just means that you have a long queue because you're a one man operation and can't do all the work...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Thank you! It's actually the first jacket in a while which I don't have any doubts about keeping. I usually tend to wear them heavily for months so I hope it will only get better, specially when the sun is out. Most days is just cloudy and rainy lately. Thank you! I am a size 38 chest so to be...

    Ever think some jackets are overhyped

    The misaligned panel is a thing eh, it's made on purpose. Many Crosszips have it. It's a feature not a mistake or an accident when making the jacket. Example: My FW Sunset and @dudewuttheheck

    Ever think some jackets are overhyped

    That's not true. Try to purchase a Freewheelers jacket and tell me later what it will cost you after customs take their cut. Depending on the model that's aprox ~1700-2500€ plus shipping plus taxes/duties which you can add at least close to another 800-1000€(for a 700€ one I had to pay 315€ so...

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    To be honest I don't think an A-2 would suit you that well. You've got a great collection of leather jackets. Unless it is a slender A-2 from Eastman and we'd have to see about that, it would probably be not flattering on your body. You're broad shouldered, athletic and have a slim waist (at...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    That's fantastic! I have seen a few for sale on Yahoo Auctions in Japan for quite a decent price and I have always been tempted but weather here make that impossible. You wear it very well and fits you great.

    Applying Obenauf's Boot Preservative to a leather jacket

    I don't find that to be true. There's a lot more people in this subforum than before I think. Vintage subforum has died completely when it had been the golden forum and the Outerwear subforum has only gained popularity, more open minded people joining, more special designs, people take risks...

    Ever think some jackets are overhyped

    I think we all need to be careful with overhyping Greg and Field Leathers too because that could actually hurt him as people will have way too high expectations. He just started as an independent maker but has been with Aero for years previously. He recently got his skiving machine but he can't...

    Buying jackets on Japanese auction sites

    I messaged Buyee to see if they could contact a seller to see if the seller would relist an item I missed and didn't sell and they said they couldn't do that, that it was up to the seller to relist or not but they couldn't contact them to ask about that in particular.

    Buying jackets on Japanese auction sites

    I don't actually understand why you use Tenso as a single person here. Tenso is the name of the business. Also you should send the jacket as RETURNED GOODS rather than send it like if it was a sale (Or whatever is needed for returns). Regardless the proxy service I'm glad you're getting your...

    RRP vs. price war for new or nearly new qualitative garments on the market

    You're assuming here that everyone is in your same situation, unfortunately not everyone is able to do so because of the economical effect caused by the pandemic. I know of a lot of people who are out of a job, they had to close their business, fire employees and they're lucky if their partners...

    RRP vs. price war for new or nearly new qualitative garments on the market

    Great idea for a thread. I think we tend to overlook how niche these brands really are. They actually are not known by anyone who isn't into leather jackets, vintage style stuff, denim, workwear items, etc. Not even people who are into vintage know these brands with the exception of maybe a...

    Freewheelers Horsehide Tear - Repair Recommendations

    I think that's the first jacket from The Armoury collaboration that I actually see broken in or worn. I always see photos of it new and stiff, not even a single crease on the sleeves which makes me question what do their owners do with their jackets. Almost looks like some only wear them for a...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I have worn it a few hours at home(when received), two days outside. It feels weird to wear sneakers but I need to due to painful tendinitis in my Achilles. Excuse the poor pics, bad lighting at home in the evening, too warm light. Freewheelers “Darius” You can see it is very A or bell...
