    Equus Leather has gone out of business

    I was online this evening looking for a belt to buy, and couldn't find Equus... even though their prices have skyrocketed in recent years, I wanted one. Sad to see they've gone out of business. I wonder where their stock ended up?

    What's going on with the FL site?

    Took two minutes to load this page just now to see the replies. Using an iPhone right now. Something problematic remains... before the last couple of months I've rarely ever experienced issues in 6 years on here. Mods- I appreciate the effort this must take. I've seen other forums have massive...

    60 seconds for my last reply to post. Crikey.

    What's going on with the FL site?

    80% or more of the time when I try to navigate here it cannot be done. Not even if I wait. I was also wondering what the hell was going on.

    What jeans are you wearing today ?

    You did well... my T-shirts made in Hoi An 12 years ago didn't survive 6 months of backpacking, due to the stitching failing rather than the fabric being a problem. They fit nicely while they lasted. I have had T-shirts that survived a decade, though. Abercrombie and Fitch, for an example of a...

    You know, you're in old Germany, when...

    When your neighbour calls the police because they heard one of the apartments above them running a dishwasher on a Sunday, even though they couldn't tell for certain which apartment committed that heinous offence...

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    I meant the width of the gap... sometimes it is larger than other times, like in the photo I attached, on the larger end.

    Ask a Question, Get An Answer About Outerwear

    What's everyone's opinion on the gap you get with shoulder gussets? Between the back and the sleeve. I prefer a snugger fit/smaller gap.

    Ideal location/climate for leather jackets

    As I'll have the warm apartment and warm clothes, I should survive the winter ;) Just not sure how much I'll enjoy it as I used to find London winters rather miserable. It seems Bavaria gets a good bit more sunlight through winter than London, so that's something :D

    Should I get rid of the following jackets?

    I'd get rid of the Schott, mainly because I think it's garish and ugly. Sorry to say. The other jackets look good, but if you've outgrown one and it's doubtful you'll fit it again, it's time to move on and reinvest.

    Good quality but affordable first leather jacket

    Sure does after Covid. About 50% more. New jacket prices from most of the "affordable but good" makers have shot up, sadly.

    Ideal location/climate for leather jackets

    Regarding a weird internal thermostat after a long time in Asia- my thermometer says my home office is 23.1°C right now, and I'm wearing jeans with a thick t shirt and a flannel shirt over it. I feel a bit chilly and my feet feel cold through thick socks. o_O

    Ideal location/climate for leather jackets

    Getting temperatures comfortable is a challenge I know only too well. During my decade in Asia I was daft enough to go as far North as Changzhou (Jiangsu) for a year- lovely summer, but a horrid cold winter, and neither a spring nor an Autumn to speak of! Spring was one Tuesday. Monday I went to...

    Ideal location/climate for leather jackets

    Three months sounds about right, as it got cooler in the evenings. I found I could wear shorts in the daytimes there quite comfortably for all but 2 weeks in the year I was there!

    Ideal location/climate for leather jackets

    If you're going to add in UK, Ireland and Iceland you need to add in 3/4 of the rest of Europe too! I spent all year in Thailand this year, and have no idea how some of the locals there manage to wear leather jackets. Back in the UK briefly, and Germany in a few weeks. Not sure how I'll feel...

    Chinese leather jackets

    I was impressed when I visited the leather shops and workshops in Guangzhou with a friend of mine who buys and exports the stuff. If you demand it, and pay enough, their work can be excellent. If you want to pay peanuts... don't expect much.

    Do I have unusual measurements

    Wingspan is usually an inch greater than height. I'm 6'1 and my wingspan is 6'3.5. My cousin is 6'5 with a ludicrous 7'2 wingspan. I don't think your measurements seem unusual, though the shoulder measurement is hard to compare to anything. You're a boxy shape that would suit lots of regular...

    need advice on the FITTING ONLY please

    I suspect people might be inclined to think you're not being serious with this thread. You post pictures of a jacket that is too big and ask if it looks too small, and you say the chest is too tight yet you included a photograph showing how much excess material there is in the chest?

    Filson, Carhartt and LL Bean spam sites...

    Yikes. Always search TrustPilot for reviews... that's a great indicator.
