    Inside Pockets ? - One - Two - or None ?

    Thanks for that pic Sloan, looks like a remote control in there, I get it. Ta. And yes BK I agree it should be made out of chord or something non obtrusive. Maps? No. Cigar case and Hip flask.

    Inside Pockets ? - One - Two - or None ?

    I have ordered this Pioneer which I am hoping to show you with two very large inner pockets (one on each side) am I right in thinking that the actual bags will show through the FQHH even if the pockets are empty? Sure I understand like denim if you carry the same item in the same pocket you get...

    Alexander Leathers light brown kudu Dakota, size 42

    That's correct they are Lee jeans MM, I'm sure he had a pair of Levis either growing up or before he died, but my point was its better to wear vintage styled jeans with a vintage styled leather jacket, why you may as well wear crocs too.

    Aero/Insurrection Dustbowl

    Lovely leather, just beautiful. Regarding my good friend above, I think what he means is fitted around and then longer over the hips is different, but that is the design of the model, and it doesn't look bad on you at all, having had their older Hercules model, which is as long as yours, I can...

    Alexander Leathers light brown kudu Dakota, size 42

    Ha! I'll bet the 55's would have looked great on you. See James Dean, Marlon, Elvis and every other legend for counterpoint, and the most ironic thing is you look like Tom Cruise ffs. The 55's were also Levis longest running cut until 66' when they were superseded for a year (lol) until the...

    Schitzo had you paused you may have considered the http://www.ironheart.co.uk/bottoms/1955s.html they are exact replica's of XX501 1955 cut which means higher rear rise which means that new short jacket would sit sweetly just over them. You have got low rise skinny cut designed for the...

    Best leather conditioner for "loosening" a stiff jacket

    Very interesting and thanks, however your references, and lets face it assumptions, regard items that have been stored for 60 years + are of no relevance to me, but thanks for the Edison belt info. Thing is Scotrace I wear boots new, made for me, and jackets - Aero same. I wear them daily and...

    Best leather conditioner for "loosening" a stiff jacket

    I did a lot of research into this on a lot of leather forums, saddle makers etc, and they all swear by Neatsfoot oil used sparingly on a rag, three coats over a three of months, to allow it to work gently into the leather. Horween also suggest this product. That and believe it or not Virgin...
