    Vanson! Vanson! Vanson!

    My Walter Dyer jacket has leather lined, handwarmer pockets. I wish they were canvas or something else besides leather. What is the supposed benefit of that? Any guess? I like this Vanson though...a lot. cheers!

    My experiences with washing leather jackets is similar. No harm done; smells and funk removed. I’m glad yours worked out well. Cheers!

    Remake of a Buco J-71 by FiveStars Leathers

    As mentioned, if 5* has a jacket to work from (copy) and/or super detailed instructions and measurements of the customer, they can turn out a great product. Congratulations on a nice looking jacket!

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    I have a black pair of the RedWing moc toe boots. I like them a lot! Bummer about your White’s though. I hope you find a good pair of something.

    Footwear to go with our jackets

    Red wing Blacksmiths. Still breaking in but a couple coats of polish and leather cream and they are looking good to my eye.

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    People are drawn to the idea of having 5* create a beautiful jacket that is full custom. The risk is that they don’t deliver what you want and then you are essentially stuck. My experiences advice: don’t order from them unless you are prepared to receive a dud. Expect it to be off somewhere...

    Washing leather jackets

    Not doubting you but I don't understand why centrifugal force (centrepetal?) wouldn't keep the jackets plastered to the side.of the spinning wash tub. Seems like it would be safe from destruction in that manner.

    Washing leather jackets

    You know, I can see the benefit of a slow dry but also, I would be concerned that mold would start growing in the damp lining, especially. My experience is that drying takes about a day and I utilize multiple methods with short exposure times to each method. Air dry, low clothes dryer, air only...

    Washing leather jackets

    I know there are pro's and con's discussed here and online about throwing your leather jacket in a washinng machine. I had one jacket that was a bit odorous and put a small amount of detergent in with the jacket. No harm at all. I use the kind that is free of all scents, etc. Today, I decided...

    Walter Dyer, in natural light. I'm not 100% certain if this is steer or goat. It's squeaky factor is may 3/10 unlike a known goatskin jacket that is more like a 7/10 squeaky. FWIW. Cheers!

    Thank you. It is a heavy jacket and the leather lined pockets were a surprise but in a good way. Pretty easy to wear for the weight. That car coat really rocks. I must have missed previous posts about it. Cheers!

    New to me, Walter Dyer. Heavy. Warm. Fits pretty well. I managed to get the crappy chest pocket zipper tabs off and put on ring chains. I like the way those look much better. It was a fiddly little chore but worked out in the end. Cheers!
