    Help on choosing fabric to reline a cafe racer jacket..?

    I am thinking of relining an old CR jacket, and need to figure out what material to use. I plan to use if for summer riding, so don't want a quilted lining. And I'd like it to be less "grabby" to put on than cotton drill. Basically, the sort of thinner fabric you find in the old Brooks...

    Yellow Rat brand button-down pullover shirt (L)

    This is a really cool 60s CA retro style shirt that I got a few years ago, but have never washed or worn except to try it on. I am 6' about 185 lbs (and slightly in need of a Manssiere) and it's just a bit too tight for me. It's "new with tags" as you can see. I must have been feeling flush...

    Three high(ish) end white pocket tees for $30 (XL).

    My favorite style of t shirt, and sometimes I end up with some that just don't work for me. These three have all been washed once and tried on for size, but are otherwise unworn. All marked XL but differing slight in measurements, listed below. The 3Sixteen is the heaviest, their "heavy...

    Midwestern Sport Togs jacket (about a 42)

    I recently picked this up from Terry but it doesn't quite work for me, so am relisting it here for what I paid -- $100 shipped in the US. Terry knows a lot more about these jackets than I do, so I am going to link to his original post, which in turn has links to more pics and a video...

    Rebel Mens Wear and Accessories?

    Anyone know anything about this Japanese company/store? Not sure I could actually wear anything with the brand-name “rebel,” but I just came across them on Instagram and they’ve got some pretty cool jackets and boots. They don’t have a separate website as far as I can tell, but they have an...

    The Dave Sheeley Custom Leather Jacket Thread

    I've posted several pictures of the custom jacket made for me by Dave Sheeley, and I was about to post new pics on one of the previous threads; but it occurred to me that it's time for a dedicated Dave Sheeley custom jacket thread. I know that a few others here have had Dave make full jackets...

    [Sold] The Strike Gold Loopwheeled T Shirt (White, XXXL fits like XL).

    Honestly, I don't even know what "loopwheeled" means, but every once in a while I go ahead and try out a high end tshirt. This is made in Japan and apparently a very good company. But I'm sort of a Goldilocks when it comes to t shirt fit, and this one is just a little off for me. I got it from...

    Bates leather racing jacket (44L).

    A rare larger sized Bates, with padded elbows and shoulders. Marked a 44L, and to be honest that's what it feels like to me. I usually wear a 42 in contemporary jackets and a 44 or even 46 in vintage, and this is just slightly too big on me. It has the classic "tailored by Bates" tag, which...

    Looking for a good... umbrella..?

    Yeah, it's hard to imagine a less interesting post, I know. But I swear I have not owned a good umbrella for years, and as the rain comes down and down and down, figured I'd look for advice. Every one I've had in recent years either breaks at the tips or else the spring action isn't strong...

    Brand new Truman Boots, black horsehide (10EE)

    I just got these from a recent MTO they had, but alas they are a bit too tight for me. Brand new, only tried on for sizing indoors. These boots represent Truman at their best I think: an amazing horsehide leather from Maryam tannery in Italy, tight and well built throughout, and back to their...

    Lina's leather line-up

    This forum has been a bad influence on me! As much as I've tried to avoid acquiring a "collection" of leather jackets, I realize that's just what I've done, albeit on a relatively small scale. At least, enough for a line-up... All these have been posted before, but here they are in one place...

    new Harley one-pocket Sportster racing shirt

    Of special interest to @technovox , I picked up this cool Sportster racing shirt/jacket for a great deal on the ebay. Always liked the minimalist look of these, but never had a chance to try one on. Size 44, fits me just about perfect. I will have to decide if I’m keeping it for the long...

    Brooks classic Cafe Racer jacket (44)

    I don’t know enough to be able to date this jacket, but seems on the later end of the classic Brooks era. Notice that it has the older label on the permanent lining but the newer label on the zip out lining. To me it’s in fantastic shape, with the only real flaw being the missing right chest...

    History of the "Cafe Racer" jacket.

    The recent thread on Buco posted by @MemphisBlues and the conversation there, especially the comments by @Monitor (see here: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/buco-jacket-restoration.100580/), made me think more about the history of what is now so commonly called the "cafe racer" style...

    Viberg 310 Boots , size 10, brown oil tan.

    These are great boots, and there is a lot that I love about them, but the fit is just a bit off for me and I am ultimately a captoe guy at heart. So, if anyone is interested I will pass them along. But if not, I will happily keep them to admire and to wear on occasion. Viberg size 10, which...

    Anyone have/had an H-D Traveler moto jacket?

    Been tempted by one on the ebay recently. It’s a good-looking minamalist jacket, but hard to find pics of anyone wearing one, other than the old catalogue ads (which usually show the light grey version). Anyway, I’m interested in any pics or feedback from anyone who’s had experience with the...

    Buco CR with back lettering

    I am slightly tempted by this late model (made in Spain) Buco that I just saw on ebay. A couple of things slow me down: 1. I don't need it. (But yeah, that doesn't count!). 2. Could be too tight on me. (And the lister says not only "no return" and " no refund" but also "no complain"; and I...

    Brooks CR jacket dating?

    Looking around at Brooks jackets hoping for a deal and came across this one, with a less common back, but with the older tag. Just out of curiosity, wondering if anyone can place this style in relation to the more well known versions of the jacket.

    FS: Left Field, Cone Mills denim, 36

    These are very close to but not quite new. I got them about a year ago and have worn them maybe three times in the house to try them out. They fit fine and are definitely very cool jeans, but I think I am just not a raw denim guy, and I don't think I'll be getting much wear out of them. These...
