    Levi’s Cossack Jacket- recommended?

    Very good to know about goat leather! I just looked around the Thedi website- are they all custom Made?

    Levi’s Cossack Jacket- recommended?

    That is very fair! 700 is no small sum; might as well keep the search going I’ve had my eye on the ranch blouse ever since I became aware of its existence (which, admittedly, hasn’t been that long)! I’m very new to this side of the fashion world (the brands and companies), but yeah, I want it...

    New member intro and two Levi’s jackets

    Shame about Wilsey; I recall hearing about that a few years ago from someone associated to the now out of print Maximum Rock and Roll magazine (used to hang out at that house occasionally when I was younger). I too grew up more into the UK sound. Never made it to Montreal, but I’ve played show...

    New member intro and two Levi’s jackets

    It really does! I’m glad I took my time and search thoroughly/ waited for the right jacket. It came from England via eBay at around $320 USD shipped. Can’t complain about the price! that sounds like wild times indeed. While i knew a few people that ended up on that side of the political...

    Levi’s Cossack Jacket- recommended?

    Thank you for the rec. I was doing a search on the forums here and saw an overwhelming amount of positive reviews about the MF jacket, but one or two reviews stating that the buttons didn’t fit into the slots, etc. I wonder if there’s a way to try one on first! that is very good to know, thank...

    Levi’s Cossack Jacket- recommended?

    On that note, does Levi’s just not make quality leather goods “nowadays”? The lone Levi’s leather I own is supposedly from the 70s, so I’m sure manufacturing, raw materials, etc have changed

    Levi’s Cossack Jacket- recommended?

    Thank you for the reply and for the suggestion! I often develop an issue where I become brand loyal (in this case, Levi’s and their LVC collection) and often forget about other brand available. I visited the Schott’s store here in San Francisco and tried a jacket on and they were quite huge on...

    How has your taste in leather jackets changed over the years?

    Fun topic, and one to go down memory lane. I started wearing leather jackets around 2005/2006, when I was 18 and about 5 years into punk music and the scene. I can definitely say that many a thrift store motorcycle style leather jacket was ruined with paint and studs! Attached is an embarrassing...

    Levi’s Cossack Jacket- recommended?

    As a recent convert to different cuts of leather jackets, I’ve stumbled upon the Levi’s Cossack. In particular, this one on eBay (image attached). From the previous posts, it seems like some people are saying to save the money and go for a Mister Freedom instead? Does anyone have any more info...

    Looking for Levi’s Menlo Small Please!

    Apologies for bumping a years old thread, but I am unsure of the etiquette on this forum about starting a new thread about a topic if an old one existed (found via search). As a recent convert to different cuts of leather jackets, I’ve stumbled upon the Levi’s Cossack. In particular, this one...

    Gotta love the Avengers, classic SF punk. As a teen, I really liked the quintessential SF/Bay Area hardcore bands like Crucifix, Social Unrest, etc.

    New member intro and two Levi’s jackets

    That’s awesome! Im sure the stories are amazing, ha! 80s punk is def my favorite era. There actually seems to have been a huge resurgence of punk (mostly hardcore and oi) here in SF within the last 5 or so years. Pretty interesting to see and hear the new bands. I used to be in a few bands when...

    New member intro and two Levi’s jackets

    Thank you for the welcome. Love both jackets a lot. I have been wearing both in rotation for the past year almost nonstop! Here is a pic of myself at a museum in front of some carnivorous plants (I am also the current the president of the Bay Area carnivorous plant society haha, and work with...

    New member intro and two Levi’s jackets

    Hi all, New member here from San Francisco, CA. I grew up in the punk / oi! / hardcore scene since the early 00s so my love of leather jackets, denim, and boots have always been a mainstay. I’ve gravitated towards the more “classic” Americana style within the last 5 years or so. Just wanted to...
