Simmons Bilt looks like they can get to around $700. But i need 23” sleeves, and they only go down to 25” in their drop down order form...

Are either of them custom? They seem to only offer standard sizing. I’m a 41 chest 32 sleeve (like a 41 extra short suit jacket) so standard leather jackets usually fit me poorly.

Who is good for a custom fit leather jacket under $500? Only one i know of is Wested. Who else could you recommend? Curious how many makers there are in the sub $500 price range!

Both of...
Early this year i added up what i was spending on “cheap” throwaway shoes and decided i would be better served with some higher quality goodyear welted shoes or boots so i bought a pair of alden indys and ae higgin mills. With such a monetary investment and the intent of making them last as long...
I used to hate helmethead when i rode motorcycles... take off the helmet and you’ve got a mashed and messy sweaty head of hair. I don’t ride anymore but i wear hats and find a similar problem (though not as bad).
So apart from shaving it off or using a greasy tin of dapper dan, what do you do...
A local bootseller and cobbler (strangely trying to talk himself out of a sale) told me they use mexican leather which is made with too much urea so it doesn't last as long as it should. I bought them anyway. But I didn't keep them long because the last didn't break in well with my foot. But I...
