    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I haven’t posted a fit pic in like forever due to the lockdown. Today I briefly wore this: Bill Kelso Cadet in black Liberty HH

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

    I get that if one wants a totally original vintage in all its parts, also the zip needs to fit the bill. But at some point there was a suggestion to use a RiRi #8 or Talon #10 which aren’t period accurate either for ton’s jacket and it isn’t clear to me what is the advantage they offer over a...

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

    But I think this is exactly the point. Unless you are really bothered by those three letters only visible with a magnifying glass then YKK can look the same as any talon/conmar/you name it repro. Repro zips for repro jackets. The only really debatable point imho is the size of the zip.

    Jackets like sheene

    If you need custom I’d have also a serious thought about Greg (field leathers). He’s got Shinki, stitching looks quite immaculate and he is open to customisations.

    Jackets like sheene

    If money is no object, for a casual jacket I’d go with Himel for a custom order or some of the usual Japanese brands if you fit off the rack (Rainbow Country, Fine creek, real McCoy’s, freewheelers, etc).

    Opinions/Experience on Guidi Horsehide Boots needed

    They are not quite the aesthetic of the average fedora lounge user. I think that is understandable given that they’d look quite off imho with the jackets/vintage clothing discussed here. They look very fashion forward. I’ll try to ask the question on Styleforum, I’m sure there are people who...

    Aero Ladies Motorcycle Jacket - Size 4, Black Italian Horsehide - 650 gbp OBO

    AFAIK the max they offer on a trade in is less than half your asking price.

    Hero jacket from new Perry Mason

    I put my money on buffalo leather. I had a jacket made with buffalo that had that texture. It looks like something RRL could do.

    Jackets like sheene

    If you mean a collared jacket with a plain back and centre zip then pretty much every maker has one. Price point will be the leading indicator as to which maker you could consider.

    Denim Jackets - New or Vintage

    The only one that makes sense imho is the westerner (on its own)

    Denim Jackets - New or Vintage

    Just go on the clutch cafe page on IG and have a look at the last two posts. That’s the first thing that came up as I opened Instagram. I think it started out with white vintage Levi’s 501. My theory is that they are the last easily available vintage 501 as white is the least desirable colour...

    Denim Jackets - New or Vintage

    I you look around (IG etc) you’ll see that white denim is all the rage this year. They are just jumping on the bandwagon of this fashion trend... nothing more nothing less. I’d personally stay away from the white tux.

    What was your very first leather jacket

    Never really owned a leather jacket until I was in mid twenties as they were simply not available where I used to shop nor were in fashion. I couldn’t afford them anyway. This European market Schott cafe racer about 10years ago was my first. Not bad I think for what it costs.

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    Quite the line up dude. Those Attractions with a bit of wear ought to rise in the ranking. I’m partial to Attractions as I think they’ve got the best shape out of all engineers, something about the proportions that can’t be topped imho. Clinch on the other hand really have that artisanal...

    And just a couple of clicks away... that’s the real issue!

    Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...

    @regius it’s another thread man. The other is still there in the other section. Not sure how this fits the outerwear section. Perhaps some moderator should consider consolidating the two.

    It’s the Cyclone in green sheep. I think that hide looks really good.

    Denim Jackets - New or Vintage

    I think it looks longer than it is because the picture is at an angle. But yes I agree that it looks too big in the pictures.
