    Double Helix Leather Stain Treatment

    Advice needed for first top-tier G-1 leather jacket purchase

    G1 isn’t going to keep you warm during Minnesota winters. You’d need a B3. But for a used G1, Eastman is most readily available for a cheap price.

    Block Bilt / H & L Block Appreciation Thread

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Yes, I’ve been on minoxidil for my facial hair for 14 months and it has doubled my coverage. I have a full beard now (and I’m of Asian descent, among which can’t grow much facial hair). I need to use it for 2-3 years for the hairs to become permanent. Do your research.

    Iron Heart Nagoya

    You prob havent felt IH 21oz. It feels like cashmere and not at all like a heavyweight denim. IH is known for its fabric and its attention to detail—you wouldn’t be able to find a loose stitch anywhere.

    Leather jacket sizing, too big or small?

    If you have to ask, the answer is usually a no, which certainly applies in this case. The jacket is too big, at least by 1 size.
