    My leather jacket database.

    For a while i have been wanting to photograph and measure all my jackets, just to see if i could learn something from the numbers and how they really influence fit relatively speaking. Since this is a subject that comes up pretty often, i thought i might as well share it here in case it can help...

    Himel Bros Chevalier bis

    My experience with Himel started slowly. I sent an email in May 2017, asking for more information about the jacket and the ordering process, and started waiting. In February 2018 i receved a short answer "Are you still interested in the Chevalier?", "Yes i am" was my answer! This was pretty...

    My new pair of Aeros.

    As some of you might remember, i went to the Aero factory last year and ordered a couple of jackets. I originally was going for one, but as we all know, the best laid plans go wrong, and i ended up ordering a summer and a winter jacket. Well, yesterday was the day i got both of them, and the...

    New Bill Kelso model

    After last weeks fiasco, BK attacking people who "copy" their designs, imagine my surprise when i saw that Bill Kelso released a new D pocket that is pretty much an exact copy of a Norshore Leathers... I think it would only be fair for them to publicly thank Norshore for the "inspiration". What...

    Buttoned winter jacket draft?

    So, very soon i am going to Scotland, to visit Aero Leathers and finally get myself one of their jackets. I have a couple ideas in mind, but am still somewhat undecided. My question is, does it make sens to spec out a Maxwell as a winter coat (Strome lining and storm cuffs), are the buttons...

    Goodwear Leathers, the waiting starts...

    Well, i just sent John my deposit for a Californian Imperial! He said the wait is at just under 2 years, considering he only takes a $200 deposit i just couldn't find a reason not to get in the queue! I am set on the Imperial, but still unsure about the color. I want to go for seal brown...

    Lewis Leathers Super Monza no 445L (ladies) review

    In June i went to Lewis Leathers with my girlfriend, she loved the Super Monza but the stock size didn't fit her. I had a sneaky chat with Martin, got a "mock order" done, for future reference. What she doesn't know is that I came back the next day to order the jacket. She literally has no idea...

    Diamond Clothing Buco J100 review.

    A few months ago i started seeing more and more threads about the Buco J100 and i decided i wanted a simple clean Cafe Racer. The Shinki leather that Diamond Dave offers caught my attention and i decided to take the plunge. I sent him all my measurements, and measurements of jackets i own and...

    ELMC Californian review.

    So, a couple months ago i ordered an ELMC Californian. Having a weird body shape i usually really struggle to fit off the rack clothes, but according to the HPA's measurements this jacket looked like it was perfectly sized for me. I called ELMC, and after talking to Rob and confirming...

    Women's leather jackets

    Hi all, So, being a lounger and quality leather jacket owner i cannot help but notice that the offering for women is very small! Aero, Alexander, Lewis Leathers, Eastman, Bill Kelso, neither of them, really have anything that is aimed towards women. I was looking around the internet, and it...

    Home made belts.

    So, recently i was having a look at the stitched belts Iron Heart sells. My first thought was "there is no way i am spending $400 on a belt!" my second thought was "how hard can it be?" The answer is not very. I bought a few basic tools on ebay, a few belt blanks, had a look on youtube and...

    Zipper damaging leather.

    Hi all, I just received an Alexander Leathers Cafe Racer, my first horse hide jacket. The jacket fits great, but i am a bit worried by the damage the zipper is doing to the leather around it. The jacket is unworn, but already showing a lot of damage all along the length of the zipper, the...

    Iron Heart cotton duck type III jacket.

    I have always been a big fan of cotton duck. Since i bought my first pair of Carhartt work pants on my first trip to the US when i was 12 years old i have loved the color, the texture and the hard wearing nature of this fabric. I still own and wear those work pants i bought 18 years ago, i blame...

    So, since i am stuck at home all day waiting for the UPS truck to turn up (gotta love the "anytime between 7am and 7pm" deliveries!) I thought i might as well spend my time doing this Dominator No 551 review i talked about yesterday... I ordered this Jacket a bit before Christmas 2012 and...
