    Vanson Octagon Oxford 9D size 40

    Just listed on Ebay. This jacket is minty, and almost certainly one of the last Octagon leather jackets in this kind of condition. Message me here for a discounted off-ebay sale...

    Orgueil OR-4002C Cossack Jacket

    I just picked up this Orgueil OR-4002C Cossack jacket in black horsehide from a Mercari seller in Japan. https://www.orgueil.jp/all/cossack-jacket-or-4002c.html Delivery occurred earlier today. Like most everything used I've bought from Japan, it is in amazing condition as though like new...

    New design from Aero: Vincent motorcycle jacket

    Named after the classic British maker, Vincent, of the Black Shadow and Black Lightning fame, no doubt. It's a slim-fitting D-pocket... Aero told me that it's the same pattern as the D-pocket Ridley jacket, so I guess it's not really new? I guess they just renamed the model, maybe they tweaked...

    Leather Patriot Jacket by Nicks Boots

    Nicks Boots has been a highly regarded maker of PNW-style boots for something like 60 years. This weekend they launched their first(?) foray into leather jackets, an all-leather version of their canvas Patriot jacket that they introduced last year. Their early bird price is $995, a discounted...

    Aero has a new leather called Pinnacle

    Aero quietly announced some new jackets added to the stock page, including this Aeromarine in size 40, done in their newest leather, which they call Pinnacle. The Facebook post from Aero describes it as similar to CXL, but thinner. Personally, I still like the thicker 4+ Oz CXL, but it seems...

    Thoughts on the Thunder Bay from Aero

    I took delivery on my latest, Aero Thunder Bay, a couple weeks ago. I ordered as follows: * Size 42 * Black CXLSH * Olive stitching * Rust mouton collar * Left inside pocket On unboxing, I was surprised at two things, which gave me some concern: * the CXLSH they used is pretty lightweight. *...

    CPO Shirts and Shirt-Jackets

    It's been about two years since I discovered heavy wool shirts, and by now I have a pretty good selection of them added to my wardrobe. When I was a kid, I couldn't stand wearing anything wool. Wool back then was always itchy on my skin, and I hated it. Somehow, either wool has gotten softer, or...

    Identify these pants

    A common thing that happens to me is that Facebook will serve me ads for fly-by-night Shopify dropshippers. Most of the time these are pop-up scam artists that buy a domain and setup a fake store with stolen pictures, and try to rip as many people off as they can until they get taken down by...

    Aero Bootlegger

    So far, I've owned three Aero Bootlegger jackets at various points. My first one was a very heavy black CXL, I forget whether steer or FQHH, but it was massively heavy stuff, 4-5oz, from the era when heavy meant HEAVY. It was a size 36, and I sold it because the previous owner had modified the...

    Weight distribution of leather jackets

    A recent exchange in another thread got me wondering about this topic. @Carlos840 and some others have pointed out their unfavorable fit for jackets that concentrate their weight on the wearer's neck, rather than distributing the weight evenly across the whole of the shoulders. I haven't...

    Chipie leather jacket

    Delivery occurred today. Jacket is in nice shape overall. The lining has some issues -- the material in the sleeves has deteriorated near the cuffs, and should probably be re-lined in the near future at some point, but as-is it's wearable. The only other thing with it is the right handwarmer...

    Interesting custom Vanson 9D in Japan

    Saw this on Yahoo! Japan Auctions Japan. Like most Japanese leather jackets, it's a size 36, so probably won't fit most readers, but I thought the customizations were interesting. I see elements of the Vanson Chopper and Langlitz Sidewinder. Sleeve cuffs with diamond contrast stitching and...

    2022 - the year of suede?

    So far this year, I've been seeing a lot of suede offerings from various clothing makers. Not necessarily the ones we talk about here, but these seem to be getting a lot of inspiration from vintage style in any case. Lucky Brand has been advertising this suede shirt jacket at me for weeks even...
