leather

I have a used leather jacket that I want to turn the sleeves inside out for cleaning. I tried to do it (with the cuffs zipped up) but the sleeves are too slim and the leather is too tough. The cuffs have zippers that I can unzip but I'm afraid it might scratch the leather when trying to turn it...

If I'm looking to buy a used leather jacket for brands like Freewheelers, Real McCoy's, Himel Bros, Field Leathers, etc. do I need to be wary of people selling low quality knockoffs? Are fakes of these brands common? What are things I should be looking for if I want to avoid fakes?

Hey all, I am going to be in the market for a new black leather jacket and could use some wisdom from this community. I have been wearing an Aero sheene, made to measure through thurston bros for a year and a half now. It’s made of black vicenza horse hide. Now, I think I got a crazy stiff...

I just checked a garment of mine I purchased very recently and noticed these two spots on either side of the colored "stripe" in the middle, I circled them in red to make it easier to see so you can know what I am referring to. It's the same color as said stripe, so I assume it must be some...

Hello, I am in the process of putting together an order for a custom leather jacket, and wanted to order some samples of Badalassi to get a better idea of what the colors look like. However, when I look on leather supply websites I do not see russet as a color. Further, there are a bunch of...

Trying to decipher if this jacket fits. It's a little tight in the shoulders but I can still move around. This is my first jacket. If it doesn't fit then I'll probably sell and get a different jacket or size up.

Hello! Hoping everyone here at FTD had a wonderful holiday. Perhaps some of you have outgrown your Leon… lol :wishful thinking: As the title states, seeking a FC Leon Custom (or regular Leon) in a size 42. Specifically the seemingly discontinued black 2mm HH version. While they certainly...

Hi everyone, Been trying to hunt down this leather vest by Filson after I stumbled across a photo of it. If anyone has any info about it or where I can buy one that would be awesome. Thanks

Hi All, My wife and I are coming up to our third wedding anniversary which is called the ‘leather anniversary’ for which we both thought it would be nice to get matching leather weekend bags. I am a bit of a purist and would love for us to get some hand crafted vegetable leather bags. My only...

I was just browsing the internet and found this. The surface of this leather jacket got me curious. Under the two chest zippers there are many lines/scars. Are those supposed to be scars that existed on the animal's hide before it became leather? Or is it something that happens over time as the...

Can someone tell me if a black RMC J-24 will entirely change into brown over time or would it keep its original black color but only show brown in high wear areas?

I saw this really beautiful pair of white leather boots by YSL: vassili zipped boots in smooth leather I do worry about the color though. I currently have a pair of the YSL Harness boots, and they've held up really well so far, but they're black. For anyone here who has a pair of white boots...

Hi all, I recently purchased a second hand Vanson in competition weight hide that's getting a lot more use on the motorbike now the sun's out! I can't remember the exact model but it's from the mid-90s. Unfortunately it came with a somewhat warped collar. Can anyone offer suggestions to...

I read that water repellent products seal the leather's pores. Since the leather's pores are closed it can not breathe and will cause dry rot. This was said by Gail on the Schott forum. If I'm going to buy a leather conditioner should I avoid products that say waterproof, weatherproof, water...
