    What I love about this community

    After getting into heritage boots and clothing in general for over a year now, one thing I love is how easy it is to change hands whenever there is any fit issue. I used to buy clothes that didnt work out for me after some time and it would just sit in my closet for years because there wasn't...

    When should you go MTM/bespoke for a leather jacket?

    I've seen the sentiment on this forum that generally it's best to stick to Ready-to-wear (RTW) if possible for your body type, and I was wondering if it's time for me to step outside of that framework and get something custom made. I have a 19" shoulder bone to bone (more if I include the...

    Y'2 Leather x Buck Mason Collab Grizzly Impressions

    Hi all, I didn't see much discussion about the Buck Mason x Y'2 collab so I thought I'd make this thread. I just got the grizzly jacket and, although I had low expectations since I thought they might cheap out or overcharge for a collab item, it exceeded my best hopes and now I think this may...

    RMC Buco J24 price in japan

    Does anybody know the cost of a J24 from the real McCoys in Japan? I have a friend going there soon and will scout one for me. Is there a drastic price difference than what it costs in the US? If there’s not much of a price difference I might get a similar jacket custom made from Johnson leathers.

    Help me choose some aero options!

    Hello! I’m looking to buy an aero for my 25th birthday. This will be my second leather jacket, paired with a lightweight Schott 582, so the idea is to be able to work in a different range of temperatures. In other words, better for cold weather, but still 3-season viable. I’m back and forth on...

    Soviet pilot jacket; horsehide or?

    Hello! I bought this Russian pilot jacket. After a bit of research I know it's called a shevretka jacket. I'm curious about what type of leather it's made of.

    Fit Check Thread for Jackets

    Hi all, I found this Schott 184sm in great condition for a bit more than 400 bucks. I am just not used to the "roomy" fit of the jacket/design yet. I feel that the length and shoulders are good, the arms a bit long. What do you think? Is this simply how the jacket should fit? It is a size 38 (I...

    Any Leather jacket experts able to identify this lovely piece?

    Maybe it's something, maybe it's nothing, but hopefully something to someone in the near future! I bought this wonderful 50's jacket (with a collar) back on eBay UK in 2019. Ultimately I wore it a few times then came a pandemic, and the realisation that actually, the jacket was too small for...
