    Pre- 1940s Stetson dress hats.

    Yeah, that liner embossing is the first time I have seen that, and I really like a long hair fedora. Thanks for sharing!

    Saw a vintage leather jacket today... have a question about the cuffs

    There was no price tag on it, and I did not ask about it as I am not a collector. Might have been differnt if it looked like it fit me and I wanted to wear it. (In a general sense, not just THIS jacket.) Thanks for the input though!

    Saw a vintage leather jacket today... have a question about the cuffs

    Sadly, not my jacket. It was on a rack for sale at a vintage market in Raleigh NC. I enjoy learning about "features" in vintage jackets, so it was a treat to see.

    Saw a vintage leather jacket today... have a question about the cuffs

    So... the cuffs had two patches of what I would call wool sewn into the cuffs. The jacket also has snaps for what I assume was a matching wool collar. Should I assume those patches of wool inside the cuffs were fancy wrist warmers, preventing wind from entering the cuff when riding? I...

    Did Schott buy Shinki? Another Shinki STYLE: P617H

    I accept the following... Fashion. Fit. Purpose. I think you get to pick two when it is off the rack or made from a fixed pattern. And your body type vs manufacturer pattern will color your perception of fit or fashion. Sometimes where you wear your belt can have an impact... So this creates...

    What was your first leather jacket?

    I believe the label was "Open Road", I believe I purchased it at a Wilson's Leather somewhere near San Fransico in late 1991, or perhaps it was in 1992. It was a classic double rider motorcycle jacket with a zip out liner. I was in the Navy stationed in Japan. I wore it everywhere. I clubbed...

    Did Schott buy Shinki? Another Shinki STYLE: P617H

    I just ordered one. I want a chill, easy to wear double rider with a wool liner. Looking forward to trying it on. I was considering getting the p628h but then this dropped... they both have interesting features, I just think the p617h is a little more quiet. We will all find out in a few days!

    Did Schott buy Shinki? Another Shinki STYLE: P617H

    As for snaps... it is an easy fix. You need a leather hole punch. Snaps of the correct variety to work with the male ends on the torso of the jacket. A hammer. And a snap riveting tool. The only difficult part is removing the hidden snaps, with a tool that removes the rivet holding it...

    My Schott P613S in burgundy review

    The leather was very stiff, much like a work boot in chromexcel. So up to the owner what break in is like, effort put into it. Each owners experience will be different. While boots break in, because we typically have to wear them eight plus hours a day... Your experience breaking in this...

    Finds and Deals - Leather Jacket Edition

    I asked the seller about the lining and the zipper, and he said everything was fine except someone removed the belt in the front... I was confused about this statement and thought maybe the seller looked at the wrong jacket in reference to my question... But now you have made sense of it...
