    HD One Pocket Sportster Jacket White Label - 42

    I am selling because I have two...both 42, both a tad too large for me. But this one fits a bit bigger than the other one. I think this one is horse - has the stiffer hand that often comes with horsehide. But of course I cannot be sure. Sick creasing on left sleeve - looks really badass. All...

    Kurland

    I thought this jacket which I received yesterday from @JMax deserves exposure to the TFL community if only for its dinosaur-level grain and general coolness. I know @Mysteryo has another copy and likes it. It is made of super-light cowhide (feels like 1 mm, honestly), but what it may lack in the...

    FS - Lost Worlds suede trucker 38

    I hate to be selling it, but I have to face reality - 20" shoulders are too wide for me...I can do 19" (sometimes), but not 20"...this jacket is good for someone in much more v-shape than yours truly (see measurements). So here goes - a Lost Worlds trucker in beautiful tan heavy suede. Stu does...

    Dyeing natural leather with persimmon (Kakishibu)

    I post this here as some were interested in this method. I believe @dudewuttheheck bought a Kakishibu belt from Japan. Applied in multiple layers and exposed to sunlight, persimmon gives a really vibrant russet color. I bought the dye from Amazon (Turner Odorless Persimmon Dye). It is pretty...

    Pants you wear with your leather jackets

    I am seeking some inspiration beyond the classic "blue jeans with a leather jacket" look. The topic has been raised in several threads, so maybe it is a good idea to consolidate. Any trousers from modern to vintage-inspired work wear apply! Mods - please don't move this thread to general...

    FS: Vanson Stormer/Iron&Resin Collab Wax Canvas Riding Jacket S NWOT

    ...and the purge continues...up for sale is NWOT (only put it on for the fit pic at TFL, below) waxed canvas Vanson/Iron&Resin (I&R) collab Mojave riding jacket size S, an impulse buy from late last year. Need to raise funds. I&R MSRP was $495 (identical twin Stormer is available on the Vanson...

    FS: GAP Trucker Medium in Cognac color - crazy grain

    It pains me to be selling this, and you will see why from the pics, but I need to thin the herd in preparation for incoming. This is a catch and release (I have only worn it for fit pics) from a respected Lounge member, a great example of a GAP Blue Jeans trucker in substantial leather (weighs...

    Jacket alphabet soup

    Does anyone know of a handy reference correlating jacket letter names (B1, B3, etc) with pics? I am guessing these names are military-derived, but the correlation to specific patterns and features is a mystery to me. Thanks!

    Vanson Ike in russet competition weight horsehide

    I have been after this jacket for a couple of years, either as Ike or as Orvis collab. They show up occasionally but not too often, having been released as special edition mostly for Europe and Japan (I think) with heavy duty Riri zippers and solid brass buckles. Many thanks to @Mrfrown for...

    FS: Viberg Service Boots Size 7 Black Chromexcel

    These are on eBay with a BIN of $360, but I am prepared to offer a better deal to Loungers. Viberg 7 is equivalent to US 8 in casual shoes or sneakers (they run one size large). These are not even a year old, used sparingly due to Covid (I would normally wear them to work, but working from home...

    Jackets with quilted lining in body AND sleeves

    Do you have any? Is it working out? Good for winter I suppose, but does it look like Michelin Man? I am considering relining a jacket and thought about it as an option. Looking for thoughts/examples. PS - sleeves are wide enough to accommodate quilt. Right now quilt is only on the body.

    Seam down the middle in the back - poll!

    I found that I will not buy a jacket if it has a seam straight down the middle in the back. I like one-piece backs the most, will accept sunburst or similar patterns, but somehow I associate a two-piece back with a straight seam down the middle with material savings (cheapness) and will just not...

    What do you wear under your jacket?

    Looking for a few ideas of what Loungers like to wear underneath their jackets. I am stuck on black tees in the summer and black long-sleeved crewneck Uniqlo shirts in fall/winter, perhaps with a thin black or charcoal solid color sweater. If it is very cold I will try to fit a hoodie...

    2-way or 1-way for a main zip?

    Hey guys - can you please opine on pros and cons of a 2-way vs 1-way main zips? I am considering a main zip replacement and came across an interesting NOS #8 Talon, but it is 2-way for a military duffel or some such. I never considered a 2-way zipper for a jacket, but I am intrigued. Thanks!

    Headwear to go with our jackets

    Couple of interesting posts recently from @navetsea and @Monitor on how headwear may affect the whole ensemble, including the jacket. So I am starting this thread. Bartenders - this is very different than the Hats thread, so I hope you keep it here. Which cap is your favorite? Me being folically...

    50's steerhide Sears Hercules renewal

    I got this Herc at Terry's 2019 New Year's sale. Leather was in great vintage condition, liner and pockets - not so much. No original label either - the label you see in the pic I got off some moth-eaten Sears wool jacket I got off the bay for $15...:). Not sure if the label is period-correct...

    Lesco biker jacket, 40

    Selling my Lesco cross zip in vintage size 40. I am 5'9", 150 lbs and the jacket fits me perfectly - not much room to layer at all. Heavy jacket. Nice starter/beater cross zip for someone. I really like the brass hardware and the beefy main zip. There is a slight tape separation in the main zip...

    Vintage Score Cafe Racer

    Long time Loungers know more about the Canadian Score brand than I do. I just picked one up on Etsy (was not expensive) because I liked the wild and crazy combo of a CR front, a trucker back, and HWM-style side cinch straps. You guys tell me if it works - I like it, and it will join my two HD...

    Shinki vs Badalassi - elasticity

    From the department of obscure information - I had some swatches of Badalassi cowhide and Shinki horseshide and was cutting 1/4"-in strips from them to make zipper pulls. I stretched a Badalassi strip like you would a rubber band and was surprised how stretchy it was - must have stretched at...

    Where can I buy quilted fabric

    ...for a re-lining project? Looking for good quality, but not particular about type of batting. I know there is some cheap Chinese stuff on Etsy and eBay, but would very much like to be pointed in the direction of a good supplier, perhaps used by reputable jacket manufacturers. Thanks!
